"Belt Length Calculator for 4ps" calculates the length of a belt used with 2-4 pulleys. You can also use tensioner pulleys and specify the height of the belt. The result appears immediately when changed parameters of pulleys. This feature helps you to study the layout in parameters of pulleys.
* Features
(1) supports 2-4 pulleys
(2) supports tensioner pulleys
(3) calculates the result immediately when you change the pulleys parameters. So, you can try various parameters easily and interactively
(4) You can set the position of the pulleys by numeric keyboard or dragging pulleys
(5) displays colliding pulleys in red color
(6) You can calculate the length of V-belt, V-ribbed belt, cogged belt, round belt and flat belt by specifying the belt parameters
(7) supports open-belt and cross-belt drive for 2-pulleys
* Supported pulleys layouts
2 pulleys(open-belt)
2 pulleys(cross-belt)
3 pulleys
2 pulleys + 1 tensioner
4 pulleys
3 pulleys + 1 tensioner
2 pulleys + 2 tensioners
* Note
Calculated belt length is an approximate value. Physical factors, like tension, deflection, twist of cross-belt, surface errors, and etc..., are not considered. The belt length is standardized by the length of the pulled state, so the calculated length is somewhat different from the specification length. Please refer the specification of the belt.
