Estimate optimal belt tension based on pulley diameter, material, load, and belt type. Prevent slippage and extend belt life.
| Material | Working Tension (N/mm width) | Elongation |
|---|---|---|
| PVC | 8–15 | 1–2% |
| PU/TPU | 5–10 | 0.5–1.5% |
| Rubber | 10–20 | 1.5–3% |
| Silicone | 3–6 | 2–4% |
| Polyamide | 12–25 | 0.3–0.8% |
