MS714 · Belt Drive Experiment

Belt drive experiment — vibrations, resonance and slip in V-belt transmissions

Experiments

Influence of belt tension on the vibration behaviour of the drive
Influence of speed and load on the vibration spectrum
Effects of pulleys running untrue, off-track running and eccentric pulleys
Power split across a multiple-belt drive with individually adjustable tensioners
Influence of slip on the vibration running spectrum
Comparison between fault-free and damaged V-belts
Application of transverse loads to other MS700-series experiments — e.g. MS711 and MS712
Works together with the MS700 base unit and the MS705 brake & load unit

Description

A well-designed belt drive is silent, efficient and long-lived — provided the belt does not slip or vibrate. The MS714 dual V-belt drive lets students deliberately provoke both. Individually adjustable tensioning rollers, an eccentrically-bored pulley and a deliberately damaged V-belt cover the main fault classes; the experiment can also serve as a transverse-load source for other MS700-series experiments.
