A Study on Film Belts Skew : Influence of the Pulley Diameter on the Belt Skew
Details
The miniaturization is required in some printers and copy machines, and miniaturizing the pulley used in paper handlingmechanism takes a important part in the miniaturization of whole machine. In this research, FEM analyses and experimentsare carried out for examining the influence of the pulley diameter on the belt skew. Two pulleys with different diameter, 15and 33.6mm, are used, and the misalignment in the driving pulley is considered in the analysis and experiment. The resultsshow that a pulley with small diameter is effective to reduce the belt skew, and the increment of shaft load increases the beltskew.
