Pretensioning force (N)
Table value x width of belt used (mm)
Shaft load (N)
Value taken from table x actual width of belt used (mm) / number of axles (shafts)
Maximum transport weight (kg)
Table value x width of belt used (mm) x 0.05
For Belt models not listed, check the k1% value on the corresponding data sheet and use the general formula at the bottom of the page to determine the required parameters.
Belt thickness (in mm): 1.0
Belt thickness (in mm): 1.2
Belt thickness (in mm) : 1.6
Belt thickness (in mm) : 1.8
Belt thickness (in mm) : 2.0
Belt thickness (in mm) : 3.0
Belt thickness (in mm) : 4.0
General calculation formulae for Belt design
Pre-tension force (N)
k1% (N/mm) x belt width (mm) x pretension (%) x 2
Axle load (N)
k1% (N/mm) x belt width (mm) x pre-tension (%) x 2 / number of axles
Max. transport weight (kg)
k1% (N/mm) x belt width (mm) x pre-tension (%) x 0.1
