Synchronous belts - Calculation of power rating and drive centre distance
This document establishes formulae for the calculation of power rating and centre distance of standard synchronous belts on two pulley drives. It is applicable to trapezoidal belts only. It does not apply to curvilinear synchronous belts. The numerical values of certain parameters used in the calculations depend upon the pitch and the construction of the belt and are specified by the belt manufacturer.

Overview
ISO 5295:2023 is an internationally recognized standard that provides precise formulae for calculating the power rating and drive centre distance of standard synchronous belts used in two pulley drives. Specifically designed for trapezoidal synchronous belts, this standard excludes curvilinear synchronous belts from its scope. By using the numerical values of key parameters-such as pitch and belt construction, provided by the belt manufacturer-ISO 5295:2023 enables engineers and designers to perform accurate performance and dimensional calculations essential for reliable mechanical power transmission.
Key Topics
Power Rating Calculation
The standard defines both exact and approximate formulae to calculate the power rating of a synchronous belt, factoring in variables such as belt width, allowable working tension, belt velocity, angular velocity of the smaller pulley, and the number of teeth in mesh.Centre Distance Calculation
It provides methods to determine the centre distance between two pulleys in a synchronous belt drive, including exact formulae involving auxiliary angle calculations and simplified approximate expressions. The standard highlights the appropriate method based on pulley tooth ratios.Number of Teeth in Mesh
ISO 5295:2023 specifies the calculation for the number of teeth in mesh on the smaller pulley, which influences both power transmission and belt life.Factors Affecting Calculations
Two multiplying factors, k_z (teeth in mesh factor) and k_w (width factor), adjust power rating computations to more accurately reflect the belt’s physical dimensions and tooth engagement.Parameter Definitions and Units
Clear definitions and symbols are provided for all the essential parameters, facilitating standardized communication and calculation procedures.
Applications
Mechanical Power Transmission
The standard is vital for engineers designing synchronous belt drives to ensure optimal power transfer without premature failure or slippage.Belt Drive Design and Maintenance
By using these formulae, manufacturers and maintenance professionals can calculate precise belt tension and pulley centre distances to optimize installations and prolong system lifespan.Selection of Trapezoidal Synchronous Belts
ISO 5295:2023 assists in verifying that the chosen belt meets the required power handling capabilities under specified operating conditions.Automation and Machinery
Applicable in a broad range of industrial machinery and automotive applications where synchronous belt drives are preferred for efficient angular velocity ratios and compact drive layouts.

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
