Technical Discussion / Re: Selecting a synchronous belt

Jim-
Thanks for responding to my questions. The sprockets are all made from 3" 8mm blower drive pieces, machined to about 1.250" wide, to take 30mm belts. The application is strange. I'm building a two-stage drive for a huge 14-71 blower at 19% of crank speed, utilizing a jackshaft. I don't know specific loads. The second belt needs to drive a billet 14-71 (normal helix, Teflon'd) making about 12-14 PSI (into a 91 c.l. engine) at a maximum speed of about 1,700 RPM. The first belt will be very lightly loaded- about one quarter of the load on the second belt, but up to 9,000 RPM of the 32 tooth crank sprocket.
Thanks, Jack Gifford
