Use the FRC Belt Calculator to determine the performance of your belt system based on various parameters. The calculator helps you estimate belt performance by considering both basic and advanced factors.

Belt Performance Calculation Formula

The formula used to calculate belt performance varies depending on the parameters. Here are the formulas used in the basic and advanced calculators:

Basic Calculator: Belt Performance = Belt Volume * Belt Speed * (Belt Efficiency

 / 100)
Advanced Calculator: Belt Performance = Belt Thickness * Belt Friction * Belt Load

Variables:

  • Belt Performance refers to the efficiency or output of the belt system.
  • Belt Volume is the total volume of the belt material used.
  • Belt Speed is the speed at which the belt operates.
  • Belt Efficiency is the percentage of effective performance.
  • Belt Thickness, Friction, and Load are additional parameters in the advanced calculator affecting the belt’s performance.

To calculate the belt performance, use the appropriate formula based on whether you’re considering basic or advanced factors.
