Simple Band Brake
A Band brake consist of a flexible band of
leather, one or more ropes, which embraces a
part or circumference of drum, is called
Simple band brake.
Here, on end of band one to fulcrum while
another is joint at ‘b’ distance from fulcrum
point.

Clockwise rotation T1 > T2
Simple band brake
F = Applied Force (N)
P = Brake Power kW
M = Torque (Nm)
F i = Actuating Force (N)
μ = Coefficient of Friction.
θt = Total band lap angle (rad)
w = Band width
a = Pivot- Actuating force radius (m)
b = Distance from tensioning belt to fulcrum point
n = Rotational Speed (RPM)
T1 = Maximum band tension(N)
T1 = Minimum band tension(N)
Tc = Band tension associated with centrifugal force
(N)
pmax = maximum pressure for friction surface(N/m2)
Simple band brake
The formula below relating the band tensions
(T1, T2 ) the lap angle θ and the coefficient of
friction μ is derived on the page on Belt
drives.
The tension due to the belt rotational inertia
for Tc = 0, because the band is not moving for
the brake application. The relevant formula is
therefore
T1 /T2 = e μθ
Simple band brake
And braking force on drum=
T=(T1 – T2 )r.
Now consider equilibrium of lever.
Here ,as drum rotates clockwise T2 is slack
side and T1 is tight side.
While for anticlockwise rotation it is vice
versa.
Simple band brake
Now take moment wrt. point O
p l = T1 b (clockwise rotation)
p l = T2 b (anticlockwise rotation)
where
l = length of lever &
b = perpendicular distance from fulcrum O to
tight side
Differential Band Brake
In differential band brake, as shown in figure
the ends of band are at A and B
Differential Band Brake
The braking torque on drum obtained in the
similar way as in case of Simple Band Brake.
Now, consider equilibrium of Lever.
Here, drum rotates in clockwise direction, the
end of band attached to A in slack tension T2
and end of B in tight tension T1.
on other hand, for anticlockwise rotation, the
end of band attached to A in tight tension T1
and end of B in slack tension T2.
Differential Band Brake
Now, taking moment @ O,
p l + T1 b = T2 a
p l = T2 a - T1 b
(for clockwise rotation)
and
p l + T2 b = T1 a
p l = T1 a – T2 b
(for anticlockwise rotation)
EAMPLE
A band brake acts on the 3/4th of circumference
of a drum of 450mm dia.
The band brake provides a braking torque of
225N-m. one end of the is attached to a fulcrum pin
of the lever and other end of pin 100mm from
fulcrum. if force applied at 500mm from
fulcrum, and coefficient of friction is 0.25, Find
the operating force the drum rotates in
(a) clockwise direction
(b) anticlockwise direction
EXAMPLE
Given data:
d= 450 mm ; r= 225 mm
Tb = 225 N-m
b= 100 mm; b=0.1 m
l= 500mm; l=0.5 m
μ=0.25
To find:
operating force ; let take it P
EXAMPLE
(a)for anticlockwise direction
the angel of wrap,
θ = 3/4th of circumference
= 3/4 * 360° = 270°
= 270*∏/180 = 4.713 rad
and ,
2.303 log(T1 / T2 )= μθ = 0.25*4.713 =1.178
EXAMPLE
log (T1 / T2 )=0.5123;
(T1 / T2 )= 3.253 ------(i)
Now T= (T1 -T2 )r
225 = (T1 -T2 ) 0.225
(T1 -T2 )=1000 N ----- (ii)
Solving (i),(ii) we get
T1 =1444 N ; T2 = 444N
EXAMPLE
Now taking moment @ fulcrum point O
p*l = T2 b
p(0.5) = 444 (0.1) ; p=44.4/0.5
p =88.8 N
(b) for clockwise rotation
when drum rotates clockwise direction
take moment wrt O
p*l = T1 b
p(0.5) = 1444 (0.1) ; p=144.4/0.5;
p =288.88 N
