Belt and pulley simulator in 3D: open belt, crossed belt and stepped pulleys, like the head of a drill press. Choose the motor and the pulley diameters and see the speed ratio, i = d₂/d₁ = n₁/n₂, the output speed, the standard belt length, the wrap angle and the belt speed. In “Design” mode you give the speed you want and the simulator chooses the pulleys and the V-belt for you.
