AB - A fundamental theory concerning the theoretical power-torque envelopes over the speed ratio range of a general variable ratio belt drive is presented, to the best of the author's knowledge, for the first time. This theory applies to both V and flat belt drives, and is independent of the detailed designs.The analysis is based on two limiting factors, namely the maximum tension and the tendency of the belt to slip bodily on one or both pulleys assuming that the centre distance and the belt length are constant. These above factors determine the power and torque envelopes.The most suitable envelopes for the design purpose of the variable ratio belt drive are those of compact size, maximum belt tension and relatively high transmitted power.
