Chapter 8, Problem 15RQ

Which of the following statements about drive belt slippage is not true?

  1. Excessive heat normally comes from slippage.

  • As a V-belt slips, it begins to ride deeper in the pulley groove.
  • Slippage can be caused by improper belt tension or oily conditions.
  • When there is slippage, heat travels through the drive pulley and down the shaft to the support bearing of the component it is driving.
  • Blurred answer
    Students have asked these similar questions
    From the following identify a true statement regarding the adjustment of drive belt tension. a. Less than 8 mm should be the correct a deflection for each belt which is under tension b. More than 6 mm should be the correct a deflection for each belt which is under tension c. More than 8 mm should be the correct a deflection for each belt which is under tension. d. More than 6 mm and less than 8 mm should be the correct a deflection for each belt which is under tension.
    how does a belt drive's velocity ratio affect performance when some slip occurs between the belt and the two pulleys?
    Is the car clutch failed due to static load or cyclic load?
