How do I calculate the correct belt length?

Expert answer from the BasonDrive engineering team — backed by 20+ years of industrial belt manufacturing experience.

Answer

Belt length = 2C + 1.57(D+d) + (D-d)²/4C, where C is center distance, D is large pulley diameter, d is small pulley diameter. For timing belts, tooth count is also important. Use the BasonDrive belt selector tool at basondrive.com/tools for automatic calculation.
