Machine Design
The ratio of belt tensions (p1/p2) considering centrifugal force in flat belt is given by Where m = mass of belt per meter (kg/m) v = belt velocity (m/s) f = coefficient of friction a = angle of wrap (radians)
A slot is cut partly is middle of nut and then slot reduced by tightening a screw
Through slots are made at top and a cotter pin is passed through these and a hole in the bolt, and cotter pin spitted and bent in reverse direction at other end
One smaller nut is tightened over main nut and main nut tightened against smaller one by loosening, creating friction jamming
A hard fibre or nylon cotter is recessed in the nut and becomes threaded as the nut is screwed on the bolt causing a tight grip
