Pulley module


The Pulley module allows you to select the standard V-grooved pulleys and analyze the performance. It allows you to calculate the base dimensions and perform strength calculations for various types of standard v-belts.

Use the Design Parameters tab to input the parameters, which define the design requirements of pulleys. This area also has options you intent to use to set the base parameters of pulley such as groove profile, section, number of pulleys, number of belts, pulley dimensions and the assembly dimensions.

Use the Calculated Results tab to view the results, which provide information about the behavior of the v-belt and its pulleys. You can also view the result of strength calculation and load carrying capacity of the v-belt.

Use the Calculated Dimensions tab to view the results, which define the geometry of the v-belt and its pulleys. These parameters are used in the construction of the pulleys' set in QY CAD.

To design pulleys, input the parameters through the options on the Design Parameters tab. Switch to the Calculated Results and click on the Calculate button to view the results.

When you are completed with the parameters and results (viewing), click on the Create button to generate the 3D Model of QY CAD pulleys' set.

Note:

The units of measurement for inputs are based on the units setting in the QY CAD session. For example, if the QY CAD session is started with inches units then all the working units of Engineering Reference are in inches only.

One can save the current Inputs and Results by clicking Reports.
