Capstan Belt Friction Calculator
This mechanical engineering calculator is used to calculate the the applied tension on the line.
Applied Line Tension (Capstan Equation) Formula:
The capstan equation (or) belt friction equation is also known as Eytelweins formula. It relates the hold-force to the load-force if a flexible line is wound around a cylinder.
Tload = Thold × eμ × ɸ
Where,
Tload - applied line tension in N
Thold - resulting force at other side in N
μ - coefficient of friction between rope & capstan material
ɸ - total rope angle in radians
