[Step 2-a]Calculating the Design PowerMXL/XL/L/H/S_M/MTS_M series

Design Power (Pd) =Transmission Power (Pt) Overload Coefficient (Ks)
Calculate the Transmission Power (Pt) in terms of the rated power of the prime motor. (Originally, it is ideal to calculate from the actual load applied to the belt)
Overload Coefficient (Ks) =Ko+Kr+Ki
Ko : Load Correction Coefficient (Table 1)
Kr : Speed Ratio Correction Coefficient (Table 2)
Ki : Idler Correction Coefficient (Table 3)

 Typical machines using a belt are listed above. For other machines using a belt, a load correction coefficient should be fixed by reference to this table.
 In the case of starts and stops over 100 times per day or rapid acceleration and deceleration, check the above values multiplied by 1.3. (MTS_M only)

(1) Select the number of teeth of large and small pulley from P.2827~2835, which can satisfy the predeterminated speed ratio.
(However, note that the number of teeth for small pulley should be larger than the min. number of teeth shown in Table 12.)
