A DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF APPLICATION OF BELT AND PULLEY TRANSMISSION CALCULATION ON MACHINERY ELEMENTS

Abstract

This research design and expand a tool in the form of software engineering applications
that can perform the calculation of belt and pulley transmission easily and quickly. This
research tries to design a GUI (Graphical User Interface) application based on belt and
pulley transmission calculation using delphi compiler, according to flowchart flow from
machine element planning by taking into account correction factor, use of relevant tables
and diagrams, which hopefully will improve interactivity and the effectiveness of
understanding in the planning of machine elements not only for students majoring in
Mechanical Engineering but also for the lecturers who teach machine element lesson.
The results obtained in this research are software engineering aids on the belt and pulley
transmission calculations that have the advantage of: the process calculation time
efficiency, more interactive, easily understood by the practitioner of the machine as well
as the accuracy of the results and ease in documentation of the calculation results.
