Belt driven Fans - Motor and Fan Speed

Speed of Fan versus Speed of Motor with Belt Drives

Belt driven fans are common in heating, ventilation and cooling systems.

belt fan motor velocity

The speed of a belt driven fan versus the speed of the motor can be calculated as

df nf = dm nm         (1)

where

df = pulley diameter fan (inch, mm)

nf = speed of fan (rpm - rounds per minute)

dm = pulley diameter motor (inch, mm)

nm = speed of fan (rpm - rounds per minute)
