- Suitable for all terrain robotic toys and applications.
Description:
A Track belt is a loop of flexible material used to mechanically link two or more rotating shafts, most often parallel. Belts may be used as a source of motion, to transmit power efficiently, or to track relative movement. Belts are looped over pulleys. In a two pulley system, the belt can either drive the pulleys in the same direction, or the belt may be crossed, so that the direction of the shafts is opposite.
Application:
- Making a robo tank.
- Rover robot.
- DIY projects requiring track belted propulsion.
How to use:
- Measure the required track belt.
- Cut it with the help of cutter or scissor.
- Join the two ends with the help of permanent tire fixtures.
Caution:
- Belt slips because it extends while in motion
- The extension in the belt is a function of friction between belt and ground, load on the bot, the tension in the belt(how tight it is), difference in tension at the slack side and tight side.
- Every belt can handle only a limited tension depending on its stiffness
- No matter how tight you make it, how rough the pulleys are, it would slip off due to its limited stiffness.
- Either reduces the load on the bot which in turn would reduce the tension in the belt or use a stiffer belt.
- See if you can get belt of greater thickness and width hence you would find a stiffer belt.
