Conveyor belt speed calculator
Belt speed from motor rpm, gearbox ratio and drive pulley diameter.
Calculating…
How it's calculated
Pulley rpm = motor rpm ÷ ratio
v = π × D × pulley rpm ÷ 60 000 (m/s)
Use the drive pulley diameter over the lagging. To reach a target speed with a VFD, see the VFD frequency to speed calculator.
