  • Driver
    • A shaft connected to a power source, usually a motor, on which a pulley or sprocket is mounted.
  • Driven
    • A shaft connected to the application where the work needs to be performed.
  • Motor Power/Horsepower
    • The rating or capacity of a motor, usually indicated on the motor together with other details.
  • Driver Speed
    • The rotational speed of the motor shaft in revolutions per minute (RPM). This information is typically found on the nameplate attached to the motor.

  • Driven Speed
    • The rotational speed of the driven shaft in revolutions per minute. It can be calculated using the formula: (Driver Pulley Diameter / Driven Pulley Diameter) × Driver RPM. For sprockets, the number of teeth may be used instead of the diameter.

  • Center Distance
    • This is the distance between the centers of the driver shaft and driven shaft.
  • Service Factor
    • A factor to be considered when designing a drive, allowing it to operate without damage. The correct service factor is determined by the extent and frequency of peak loads, the number of operating hours per day and the motor design.
