Friction Coefficient The friction coefficient between the drive pulley and the belt varies according to the surface conditions of the pulley and the material of which the pulley is made. The values given in Table 19 are generally used. TABLE 19. Friction Coefficient “u” Type of ‘Surface Condition Friction prve"Puiley Sf Drive Pulley coetfisient Dirty & Wet On parece!

Bett Speed ‘The speed of the belt is limited not only by the trans port capacity of the conveyor, but also by the belt ‘width and the characteristics of the materials carried. It is most economical to use a narrow belt at high speeds, but generally itis easier to operate wide belts at high speeds than marrow belts.
