I am looking for design information regarding belt pulleys that have a bulge, crown or dome built into the working face in order to design an effective belt/pulley system for an electroplating application.
Here is what I found via Google University so far...interesting! The third one looks quite good but CONTRADICTS the second one regarding using 2 crowned pulleys...why? Any ideas?
Three hyperlinks below: Please read these before re-posting them.
How crowned pulleys keep a flat belt tracking
Flat belt tracking on pulleys.
Belt Tracking
Of particular interest is that I read on another website that having one crowned and one flat pulley is fine, but having 2 crowned pulleys on one belt invites trouble.
Any comments or information your deep pools of experience could offer would be greatly appreciated.
BTW, I spent a few minutes searching this forum and found nothing...but that's not to say there is nothing here!
Thanks in advance from Niagara Falls, NY!!
