Single click the "Belt Speed " button on the main screen to access this calculation.

•To obtain an accurate belt speed use the Drive Pulley Diameter (including lagging thickness).

•The Motor Speed should be the actual rpm at design load. Most of the time the FLT (full load torque) speed should be used.

•This calculator provides a full range of actual AGMA gear ratios. Actual ratios different than the supplied values can be input as well.

•External Ratio is provided to include external sprocket or gear ratios.

•Coupling Slip is provided to account for drive slip (i.e., fluid coupling, slipping hydro-viscous clutch or magnetic coupling).

•Belt Speed is output in either feet per minute or meters per second.

•The Update Belt Speed button transfers the calculated belt speed to the Speed text input box on the main screen.
