I'm looking for someone who can help me calculate the torque there will be transferred to my couplings between the rollers and to my belt connecting the 2 set of rollers.
I have drawings of it all including inventor pro 2011 drawings/file of it all putted together without the belt and couplings.
The size of my rollers are 315 mm in diameter and the max torque the car will have is 1000 NM, so how much is my couplings and belt supposed to manage ?

Hope someone can help me, i have a few more questions that i will post afterwards :)

Thanks a lot.

Regards Martin B. Jensen / Denmark

Just let me know what info you will need.

The first thing will be to know what you are actually looking for. The best that someone can tell you based on you original question, i.e.:

is to tell you that what will be transferred through your belt is power. So your couplings and belt must be able to handle 1000 hp. They usually also have some upper limits for rpm and torque. But those limits differ from pulley & belt types and from one manufacturers to another.
 
I'm looking to find the torque numbers my belt and couplings are supposed to manage.
The hp doesn't matter and the rpms are covered only the torque i need to know if possible?
