Types Of Belt Drives
Prepared By: Dubey Manish S. (160123119009)
Types Of Belt Drives
1. Open belt drive.
2. Crossed or twist belt drive.
3. Quarter turn belt drive.
4. Belt drive with idler pulleys.
5. Compound belt drive.
6. Stepped or cone pulley drive.
7. Fast and loose pulley drive.
Open Belt Drive
 Parallel and rotating in the same direction. In this case, the driver A pulls the belt
from one side (i.e. lower side RQ) and delivers it to the other side (i.e. upper side
LM).
 Thus the tension in the lower side belt will be more than that in the upper side belt.
Crossed or twist belt drive
• In this case, the driver pulls the belt from one side (i.e. RQ) and delivers it to the
other side (i.e. LM).
• Thus, the tension in the belt RQ will be more than that in the belt LM. The belt RQ
(because of more tension) is known as tight side , whereas the belt LM (because of
less tension) is known as slack side, as shown in Fig.
• A little consideration will show that at a point where the belt crosses, it rubs against
each other and there will be excessive wear and tear. In order to avoid this, the
shafts should be placed at a maximum distance of 20 b, where b is the width of belt
and the speed of the belt should be less than 15 m/s.
Quarter turn belt drive
• The quarter turn belt drive (also known as right angle belt drive) as shown in Fig.
(a), is used with shafts arranged at right angles and rotating in one definite direction.
• In order to prevent the belt from leaving the pulley, the width of the face of the
pulley should be greater or equal to 1.4 b, where b is width of belt.
Belt drive with idler pulleys
• A belt drive with an idler pulley (also known as jockey pulley drive) as shown in
Fig., is used with shafts arranged parallel and when an open belt drive can notbe
used due to small angle of contact on the smaller pulley.
• This type of drive is provided to obtain high velocity ratio and when the required
belt tension can not be obtained by other means.
Compound belt drive
• A compound belt drive as shown in Fig. is used when power is. transmitted
from one shaft to another through a number of pulleys.
Stepped or cone pulley drive
• A stepped or cone pulley drive, as shown in Fig. is used for changing the speed of the driven shaft
while the main or driving shaft runs at constant speed.
• This is accomplished by shifting the belt from one part of the steps to the other.
Fast and loose pulley drive
• A fast and loose pulley drive, as shown in
Fig. is used when the driven or machine
shaft is to be started or stopped whenever
desired without interfering with the driving
shaft.
• A pulley which is keyed to the machine shaft
is called fast pulley and runs at the same
speed as that of machine shaft.
• A loose pulley runs freely over the machine
shaft and is incapable of transmitting any
power.
