How to Calculate and Solve for Diameter of a Driven Pulley | Pulley Size Calculations
Last Updated on July 22, 2021
The image above represents the diameter of a driven pulley.
To compute for diameter of a driven pulley, three essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Diameter of Driver Pulley (Da), r.p.m. of Driver Pulley (ra) and r.p.m. of Driven Pulley (rb).
The formula for calculating the diameter of a driven pulley:
Db = (Da x ra)/rb
Where:
Db = Diameter of Driven Pulley
Da = Diameter of Driver Pulley
ra = r.p.m. of Driver Pulley
rb = r.p.m. of Driven Pulley
Let’s solve an example;
Find the diameter of driven pulley when the diameter of driver is 3, the r.p.m of driver pulley is 8 and r.p.m of driven pulley is 22.
This implies that;
Da = Diameter of Driver Pulley = 3
ra = r.p.m. of Driver Pulley = 8
rb = r.p.m. of Driven Pulley = 22
Db = (Da x ra)/rb
Db = (3 x 8)/22
Db = 24/22
Db = 1.09
Therefore, the diameter of driven pulley is 3 m.
