SERVICE FACTOR
c1 FOR V-BELT SECTION SELECTION
With the c1 factor, allowance is made for the load conditions which are characteristic of the listed driving unit types and driven units as well as of the number of operating hours. If the driving unit or driven unit in question is not listed, we recommend selecting a listed unit which is as close to the applicable load conditions as possible. Under extreme operating conditions with e.g. sharp dust, high temperatures, high starting torque and heavy shock loads, the c1 factor should be increased. Our technical department is always ready to help our Customers with professional advice within this area.
