Values for the efficiency η
Chn
per complete wrap:
Chain = 0.90 - 0.96 (depending on the chain size)
Toothed belt = 0.96 - 0.98 (depending on the material)
Flat belt = 0.93 - 0.98 (depending on the material)
V-belt = 0.88 - 0.95
Rubber strap = 0.80 - 0.85
Non-metallic strap = 0.80 - 0.85
Wire rope = 0.90 - 0.95
Note!
When the power is transmitted from the drive to the transport rollers, the efficiency
η
Chn
of the chain is reduced with every chain wrap.
• The efficiency η
Chn
exponentiates with the number of chain wraps N
Chn
.
• Position the drive centrally if necessary to distribute the power transmission to two
paths. That way, the number of chain wraps per path is also reduced.
• Realistic values must be assumed for the efficiency η
