THE BELT TENSION FORMULA Consider a flexible belt wrapped around a portion of a drum with the angle of wrap (also called, the angle of lap) being c, as shown in Fig. 5.1. Let the tensions in the belt on the two sides be 7) and Tp, respectively. Assume that the drum is stationary, and the magnitudes of 7; and 73 are such that the condition of impending slippage between the belt and the drum prevails. Also assume that the direction of impending slippage of the belt with respect to drum is counterclockwise, i... towards Jeft. This means that 7; would be greater than T; because the frictional force on the belt due to drum ‘would act in the clockwise direction to resist the slipping tendency.
