Abstract

Synchronous belt drives combine the advantages of simple belt drives (flat, trapezoidal or ridged) due to their low weight, low maintenance, large linear speed ranges and high transmission ratios with the advantages of chains: absence sliding, synchronized transmission of speed, low tensioning, etc. Thanks to the toothing of the belt which enters the corresponding one of the synchronous pulleys, there is direct transmission of the power without sliding as between two gears. This article develops an experimental study which makes it possible to see the influence of the angular speed, the engine torque and the setting tension on the impact noise of the belt teeth on the pulley teeth during meshing and vibrations of the free strands of the belt. We have measured the noise generated by three transmissions by synchronous belts of type AT10, BAT10 and SFAT10.
