Design Guide |
Control the size of the driven pulley based on a diameter specified or transmission ratio. Select the Diameter option to retain the pulley size when you change the size of the driver pulley. If you select the Transmission Ratio option the pulley size cannot be entered by user but it is determined by size of driver pulley and transmission ratio. If you change the size of the driver pulley, the size of this driven pulley changes as well. For standard pulleys the generator finds the closest standard diameter. For custom pulleys, the diameter is calculated precisely. |
|
Custom size |
Specifies a custom pulley size. By default the pulley size is standard and is driven by a data table stored within the Design Data folder. The data template is a fast and easy way to set up the pulley size by changing the diameter of the pulley. If the custom size option is on, you are responsible for all pulleys' properties. |
|
Power Ratio |
Power ratio magnitude is from 0.0 to 1.0 which corresponds with the amount of power that is distributed by given pulley. The flat pulley is always an idler so power ratio is always 0%. |
|
Friction coefficient |
Specifies friction coefficient for the specific material of the pulley. Note: See the Calculation of Strength Proportions chapter in Engineer's Handbook. |

You can change belt direction counterclockwise what causes change of motion direction. |
