Hi RolMec
I have been trying to find that paper for a while but without luck. Do you have access to the paper by any chance?
Thanks for your help anyway.

I think what you are trying to say is basically the same thing I posted above, from what I understand. I have used a linear...

I wouldn't say I disagree since I have consulted my senior engineers and few other ppl. But since this is based on a theoretical (ideal) method I wasn't sure how much of this would be relevant in the real world. Just need to make it a little more accurate.

Hi RolMec
Thanks for getting back to me again. I do appreciate the effort you are making. I have asked around, but without much luck though.
I have presented the above technique to our customers and so far they seem to be happy with it. But I wanted to be extra cautious so that we could...

That is true and I am aware of that.
But in this context, it is a belt drive system; whereas capstan is the drum (or pulley) is the housing on top.
I must admit I do not have extensive knowledge in this area.

Hi RolMec
I have been trying to find good sources but been out of luck so far. The sources I found makes use of Fourier series leading to a complicated calculations which varies depending upon the source (so do the results). I have been unable to find a clear representation of the radial loads...

This is one of the paper. I have taken the simplest route and used the formulas given in the beginning. I found the rest of the stuff abit too complicated for now...
Hi all
I have been trying to calculate radial loads on a capstan for a belt drive system. I have not been able to find much on this topic; or the ones I have found seem too complex as these methods uses Fourier series making things too complicated.
I found a research paper for this which has a...
