Belt Conveyor Head Pulley Design Guide
Determine Belt Tension and Torque. Belt Tension: Calculate using the maximum load conditions, including starting and stopping scenarios. T = P / v ; Torque on the Pulley: Determine based on power and speed. T = P / 2Πn; 5. Design the Shaft. Shaft Diameter: Use the following formula to ensure it can handle the torque and bending stresses. 6.
