Definition of Terms
Te = effective belt tension at drive.
ang = angle of belt wrap around drive pulley(s).
Cw = "wrap factor", to determine slack side tension to prevent belt slippage on drive pulley.
T2 = estimated slack-side tension required to either keep belt from slipping on pulley surface or maintain
trough at allowable sag percentage, whichever is greater.
T1 = Te + T2
T1 + T2 = Sum of belt forces on drive pulley. NOTE: This is not a vector sum.
T_L = type of lagging specified for drive pulley(s).
Tatype = type of take-up specified to apply "slack-side tension".
Beltype = type of belt carsass specified.
w = belt width
str = tensile strength of specified belt.
pstr = percentage of available belt tensile strength used.
btr = thickness range of specified belt
Ai = belt tension required to overcome frictional resistance and rotate idlers.
Cs = skirtboard friction factor.
H = vertical distance that material is lifted or lowered.
Kt = ambient temperature correction factor.
Kx = factor to calculate frictional resistance of the idlers and the sliding resistance between belt and idler
rolls.
Ky = factor to calculate resistance of belt and resistance of load to flexure as they move over idlers.
L = length of conveyor.
Q = tons per hour conveyed.
Return to Specifier
Si = troughing idler spacing.
Tac = total of the tensions from conveyor accessories.
Tam = tension required to accelerate the material continuously as it is fed onto belt.
Tb = tension required to lift or lower the belt.
Tbc = tension required to overcome belt cleaner drag.
Te = effective belt tension at drive.
Tm = tension required to lift or lower conveyed material.
Tp = tension required to overcome resistance of belt to flexure around pulleys and resistance of pulleys to
rotate on their bearings.
Tpl = tension required to overcome belt plow drag.
Tsb = tension required to overcome skirtboard drag.
Ttr = tension required to overcome special loading condition(s.)
Tx = tension required to overcome carrying and return idler friction.
Tyb = total of tensions due to resistance of belt to flexure as it rides over carrying and return idlers.
Tyc = tension due to resistance of belt to flexure as it rides over carrying idlers.
Tym = tension due to resistance of material to flexure as it rides over carrying idlers.
Tyr = tension due to resistance of belt to flexure as it rides over return idlers.
V = design belt speed.
Wb = weight of belt per unit of length of conveyor.
Return to Specifier
Wm = weight of material per unit of length of conveyor.
Sag = recommended maximum sag percentage to avoid spillage in troughed section of belt.

*These ratings are for three-equal-roll idlers and are based on a 30,000 hour minimum
BU bearing life at 500 RPM. BU bearing life represents the statistical point in hours where
a minimum of 90% of the bearings will still be functional with no increase in torque or noise.
