Create Belt - Trapezoidal Toothed

Belt Name

Enter the belt name.

Axis of Rotation

Axis of Rotation can be one of the following:

Reference Location

Enter the value for reference location.

Geometry

As you specify the following parameters, you might find it useful to reference Belt Profile According to ISO 5296.

Belt pitch

Enter the distance between the centerlines of two belt teeth.

Belt width

Enter the width of the belt.

Nominal height

Enter the nominal height, which is the distance between tooth tip and outer belt surface.

Cordial distance

Enter the distance between the tooth root and the belt cord.

Teeth number

You can either:

Tooth height

Enter the tooth height. The tooth height is the distance between the tooth root and tooth tip.

Tooth thickness

Enter the thickness of the tooth at the root.

Tooth angle

Enter the tooth angle.

Tooth tip radius

Enter the tooth tip radius.

Tooth root radius

Enter the tooth root radius.

Belt stiffness

Stiffness

If you set Section Connections to Geometry & Material, Adams Machinery displays the following options. Learn how Adams Machinery uses the following options to calculate stiffness parameters.

land section area

Enter the cross-section area of the land section.

land section Inertia

Enter the area moment of inertia of the land-section cross section, about the neutral axis (z-z). It is expressed as unit length to the fourth power. It is sometimes referred to as the second moment of area about the z-axis. The z-axis is along the width of the belt.

For a solid rectangular section:

I = Izz = width * height3/12

where the height of the land-section cross section is (Nominal Height - Tooth Height).

Young’s modulus

Enter the value of the belt material.

Damping Ratio

Enter the damping ratio. The damping ratio is in time units.

If you select User entered, the following options available:

K axial

Enter the axial stiffness. The stiffness is in force units / length units.

K transverse

Enter the transverse stiffness. The stiffness is in force units / length units.

K torsional

Enter the torsional stiffness. The stiffness is in force units * length units / angle units.

K coupling

Enter the coupling stiffness. The stiffness is in force units.

C axial

Enter the axial damping. The damping is in force units * time units / length units.

C transverse

Enter the transverse damping. The damping is in force units * time units / length units.

C torsional

Enter the torsional damping. The damping is in force units * length units * time units / angle units.
