Considering the effect of centrifugal tension in a flat belt drive with T1 = tight side tension and Tc = centrifugal tension and m = mass per unit length of the belt, the velocity of the belt for maximum power transmission is given by:
1
\(V\; = \;\sqrt {\dfrac{{{T_1}}}{{3m}}} \)
2
\(V\; = \;\sqrt {\dfrac{{{T_c}}}{{3m}}} \)
3
\(V\; = \;\sqrt {\dfrac{{\left( {{T_1} - \;{T_c}} \right)}}{{3m}}} \)
4
\(V\; = \;\sqrt {\dfrac{{\left( {{T_1} + \;{T_c}} \right)}}{{3m}}} \)
