✦ Synopsis


This paper describes the applicability of the ultrasonic technique to the measurement of the contact force between pulley sheave and metal pushing V-belt. By means of an ultrasonic sensor attached to the back of the "xed sheave, the contact force under actual operating conditions is measured serially from the inlet to the outlet of the pulley without any modi"cation to the pulley surface or the belt. Some examples of typical measurement results are presented, which show the validity of this method.
