Mechanical properties of the motors
3.4 Radial and axial forces
Note
The radial forces at the shaft end must be precisely dimensioned according to the guidelines
specified by the belt manufacturer. The belt tension must be adjusted using the appropriate
measuring equipment.
Calculating the total radial force F
If the belt manufacturer has not provided accurate radial force data, then this can be
appropriately determined using the following formula:

Pre-tensioning factor: The pre-tensioning factor is an experience value
provided by the belt manufacturer. It can be assumed as follows:
For V belts: c = 1.5 to 2.5
for special plastic belts (flat belts), depending on the load type
and belt type c = 2.0 to 2.5
