This leads to an increased service life, less downtime, less maintenance and cost. The XP2 offers a new construction, new materials and a better overall performance than the XP series. Everything from the wrap fabric to the cord material has been upgraded to meet the markets’ demands. • The static...

Selection guide for SKF XP2 Belts Selection procedure and formulae Example: Driver: Electrical motor 45 kW, 1 450 r/min, direct online start. Driven: Fan, 550 r/min Service: 8–10 h/day Approximate center distance is 900 mm 4 Required speed ratio (lr) Divide speed of faster shaft by speed of slower shaft to get the required pulley speed ratio. 1 Service factor (C2) Service factors describe the severity of drive conditions. Refer to tables 2 and 3 on page 5. Example: Medium duty class, heavy start C2 = 1.2 5 Belt Length determination (Ld) Note: For speed increasing drives use correction factors...
