Emerson Industrial Automation, a business of Emerson (NYSE: EMR), announced today the release of its new online Browning® V-belt efficiency calculator, which allows users to calculate projected energy savings and achieve gains of up to three percent. By entering a few key usage data points – including geographic location and motor horsepower, as well as days and hours per week – users can instantly calculate the estimated savings potential of upgrading from a wrapped to a notched V-belt.
By maintaining an appropriate belt-drive tension, and assuming certain standard design and maintenance criteria, wrapped V-belts can achieve up to 95 percent efficiency, while notched V-belts can achieve about 98 percent efficiency.
Power Transmission Solutions – a division of Emerson Industrial Automation – created the Browning V-belt efficiency calculator. The first-of-its-kind online resource incorporates several operating parameters that help quantify payback and improve energy efficiency in business-critical applications across numerous industries.
“Emerson Industrial Automation has developed a valuable tool ideal for facility managers, maintenance technicians and business owners to capture potential energy savings and improve return on investment. We are committed to creating innovative solutions that help our customers reduce energy consumption and costs, while embracing energy responsibility,” said Don Sullivan, senior product manager, Browning Brand V-belt drives.
