Best Answer

As with any other rotational system in a belt drive during rotation, the belt is subjected to centrifugal force. Due to the centrifugal force the belt is thrown outward from the grooves of the pulley and causes additional tensioning of the belt. The effect of centrifugal tension is that it reduces the pretension of the belt and hence increases belt slip.

What is the effect of centrifugal tension in belt drive?

Because of centrifugal force tension on both side will be increased but at the same time normal reaction force in between belt and pulley surface will goes down so frictional tension will be decrease and ultimately power transmission efficiency will decrease.


What is initial tension in belt drives?

Initial tension force Fi is needed to counteract the centrifugal force Fc on the belt and thus keep the belt on the pulley. Fi essentially allows the belt to go around the pulley.


Why centripetal force is not balanced by centrifugal force?

Tension in a rope or friction on car whells provides the inwards force such that the object continues to travel in as curve.


Are centrifugal force and Reactive Centrifugal force the same thing?

Reactive centrifugal force is not the same thing as centrifugal force. Reactive centrifugal force is the reaction force. It is the reaction force reacting to a centripetal force.


The type of force that keeps objects moving in a circle or arc?

The type of force that keeps an object such as the Earth moving in a circle is a combination of gravity and centrifugal force. Gravity wants to pull the object inward, but centrifugal force wants to push the object outward. This combination keeps objects going in a circular path. You could also say that, for objects such as a rock attached to a rope that is swung in circles, the forces are the tension of the rope opposing centrifugal force. This is essentially the same thing, except with different forces at work.
