  N  Belt pre-tension 
M
0
  Nm  Motor static torque 
c  –––  Pre-tensioning factor: this factor is an empirical value provided 
by the belt manufacturer. It can be assumed to be as follows: 
for toothed belts: c = 1.5 to 2.2 
for flat belts c = 2.2 to 3.0 
d
R
  m  Effective diameter of the belt pulley 
F
R, perm
  N  Permissible radial force 
When using other configurations, the actual forces, generated from the torque being 
transferred, must be taken into account.
