Pulley Diameter

The Pulley Diameter calculator computes the diameter of a pulley based on the speed at which a linear length of belt travels around the pulley  and the rotation rate (R).Belt

INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following:

• (bS) Linear belt speed.
• (rpm) Rotation Rate of the pulley

Pulley Diameter (D): The calculator computes the pulley diameter in feet.  However, this can be automatically converted to compatible units via the pull-down menu.

The Math

The formula for the speed of the belt  is: 

             D = 2• BS/RPM 

where:

• BS is the Belt Speed
• D is the diameter of the pulley
• RPM is the rotation rate (rpms) of the pulley
