The image above represents r.p.m of driver pulley. To calculate the r.p.m of driver pulley, three essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Diameter of Driven Pulley (Db), r.p.m. of Driven Pulley (rb) and Diameter of Driver Pulley (Db).
The formula for calculating r.p.m of driver pulley:
ra = (Db x rb/Da
Where:
ra = r.p.m. of Driver Pulley
Db = Diameter of Driven Pulley
rb = r.p.m. of Driven Pulley
Da = Diameter of Driver Pulley
Let’s solve an example;
Find the r.p.m of driver pulley when the diameter of driven pulley is 21, the r.p.m of driven pulley is 18 and the diameter of driver pulley is 14.
This implies that;
Db = Diameter of Driven Pulley = 21
rb = r.p.m. of Driven Pulley = 18
Da = Diameter of Driver Pulley = 14
ra = (Db x rb/Da
ra = (21 x 18)/14
That is, ra = 378/14
ra = 27
Therefore, the r.p.m of driver pulley is 27 Hz.
