Tyb 71 lbs Tyb = total of tensions due to resistance of belt to flexure as it rides over carrying and return idlers.Tyc 50 lbs Tyc = tension due to resistance of belt to flexure as it rides over carrying idlers.Tym 194 lbs Tym = tension due to resistance of material to flexure as it rides over carrying idlers.Tyr 21 lbs Tyr = tension due to resistance of belt to flexure as it rides over return idlers.V 300 fpm V = design belt speed.

Wb 9 lbs/ft Wb = weight of belt per unit of length of conveyor.Wm 56 lbs/ft Wm = weight of material per unit of length of conveyor.Sag 2.0% Sag = recommended maximum sag percentage to avoid spillage in troughed section of belt.Ls 0 Ls = Length of conveyor from tail pulley to Drive snub (for return run drive only)Hd 0 Hd = Height of conveyor from top of tail pulley to bottom of drive pulley (for return run drive only)

T2 = estimated slack-side tension required to either keep belt from slipping on pulley surface or maintain trough at allowable sag percentage, whichever is greater.

Kx = factor to calculate frictional resistance of the idlers and the sliding resistance between belt and idler rolls.

Tp = tension required to overcome resistance of belt to flexure around pulleys and resistance of pulleys to rotate on their bearings.

*These ratings are for three-equal-roll idlers and are based on a 30,000 hour minimum BU bearing life at 500 RPM. BU bearing life represents the statistical point in hours wherea minimum of 90% of the bearings will still be functional with no increase in torque or noise.
