Design of Belt-Tensioner Systems for Dynamic StabilitySource: Journal of Vibration and Acoustics:;1985:;volume( 107 ):;issue: 003::page 282DOI: 10.1115/1.3269258Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Belt drive systems are an effective means for power transmission which offer the advantages of light weight, low cost, quietness, and efficiency. Recently in automotive applications there has been a trend to power several accessories with a single drive belt in order to reduce overall vehicle size and weight. Since these belts are typically longer than conventional belts, a tensioner component is added to maintain acceptable belt tension levels. In this paper we describe several potential instability mechanisms for belt-tensioner systems, and present a design methodology to ensure good dynamic performance of such systems. A mathematical model of the belt-tensioner system, and numerical solution methods, are utilized to develop a computer-aided design procedure. Numerical results, and confirming experimental data, are presented for a particular automotive belt-tensioner system.
