| Popis: | Belt transmissions were one of the first ways to transfer rotational motion and torque between shafts, and are still remaining in the spotlight for a variety of applications. The paper presents some aspects regarding the efficiency of a flat belt transmission contaminated with starch powder. An original test rig was conceived and built in order to evaluate the loading capacity and efficiency of a flat belt transmission. Using this test rig the values of shafts speeds and the reaction forces generated by the transmitted torque were measured. Several tests were conducted, with and without starch powder as contaminant. The contamination level was evaluated by aid of a particle sensor. Two levels of contamination were applied and the results were compared to those obtained without contaminants. The experimental results reveal that loading capacity of the transmission increases with the concentration of the starch powder. |
