Linear Drive Application Form

Fill out the linear drive application form if you need assistance from a BRECOflex engineer. They will be able to determine the best type of timing belt and pulley for your particular linear drive. The more information you can provide on the form, the better. If you would rather work out the calculations on your own, you can use the Online Calculation Program and choose the linear drive option.

Application Loading Parameters - Sizing the Load

If sizing to the motor, skip this section and go to "Sizing to the Motor" below)
Carriage mass:
If linear travel is not horizontal, give the angle from horizontal:
Coefficient of friction of the supporting rails:
Sum of any additional forces which the drive must push:
Mass of counterweight, if any:
Belt length
Is there backbending?
- Yes
- No
List loading (including units) based on one fo the following: Torque, Acceleration, or move profile:

Loading based on torque:
Peak starting torque:
Peak braking torque:
Maximum Speed:
Loading based on accelerations
Peak starting acceleration:
Peak braking acceleration:
Maximum Speed:
Loading based on move profile:
Drive time:
Acceleration time:
Braking time:
Traverse distance:
Desired minimum safety factor based on confidence in accuracy of the above values:
Sizing to the Motor

Motor peak output may exceed above application values and break the belt in a jam situation For systems designed to stall without breaking the belt confirm motor selection in the power transmission calculator using the following loading parameters.

Loading Parameters at the drive pulley (units are required):
Peak power and RPM:
Peak torque and RPM:
Peak peripheral force and RPM:
Reduction ratio:
Is there backbending?
- Yes
- No
Desired minimum safety factor based on confidence in accuracy of the above values:
Note: 5-6 teeth in mesh at clamps are recommended at each end of the belt.

We will use your information to calculate the belt and pulleys required. An applications engineer will contact you within one business day. Please call us at 732-460-9500 if you require immediate assistance. Thank you .
