Serpentine belt (foreground) and dual vee belt (background) on a bus engine Belt tensioner providing pressure against the back of a serpentine belt in an automobile engine. A serpentine belt (or drive belt [1]) is a single, continuous belt used to drive multiple peripheral devices in an automotive engine, such as an alternator, power steering pump, water pump, air conditioning compressor, air ...
Four wool spinning machines driven by belts from an overhead lineshaft (Leipzig, Germany, circa 1925) The belt drives of the Mueller Mill, model and reality, in motionA line shaft is a power-driven rotating shaft for power transmission that was used extensively from the Industrial Revolution until the early 20th century.
The open belt drive has parallel shafts rotating in the same direction, whereas the cross-belt drive also bears parallel shafts but rotate in opposite direction. The former is far more common, and the latter not appropriate for timing and standard V-belts unless there is a twist between each pulley so that the pulleys only contact the same belt ...
When designing the timing belt, a wider belt increases its strength however a narrower belt reduces weight and friction. [14] The usual failure modes of timing belts are either stripped teeth (which leaves a smooth section of belt where the drive cog will slip) or delamination and unraveling of the fiber cores.
The capstan equation [1] or belt friction equation, also known as Euler–Eytelwein formula [2] (after Leonhard Euler and Johann Albert Eytelwein), [3] relates the hold-force to the load-force if a flexible line is wound around a cylinder (a bollard, a winch or a capstan).
The European Union reached a blockbuster free trade agreement Friday with Brazil, Argentina and the three other South American nations in the Mercosur trade alliance, capping a quarter-century of ...
The floor-length dress and thin black belt that sat gently below the bust hugged her baby bump. Lawrence paired the look with large, droplet-shaped earrings. Her glam was kept simple. Lawrence ...
The 120 mm Gun Tank T110, known during early development as the TS-31, was a canceled heavy tank project which began in 1954. It was an attempt to replace the T43 heavy tank . The T110 tank was a proposal created by Detroit Arsenal , and was introduced in a Detroit conference held in 1954.
