Help with calculation for dynamometer build?

AI Thread Summary
Calculating the torque transferred to couplings and belts in a dynamometer build requires understanding the power and torque specifications of the system. The rollers have a diameter of 315 mm, with a maximum torque of 1000 NM and a power output of 1000 HP at 5000 RPM. The couplings and belt must be rated to handle the maximum power, which is 1000 HP, while the specific torque handling capacity needs clarification. Additional details, such as system drawings and specific coupling and belt types, will aid in providing accurate calculations. Clear communication of requirements and system specifications is essential for effective assistance.

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 alot.

Lots of online calculators for belts & pulleys; This one seems relevant to your case given the little information you gave.
 
Just can't find anyone that helps me out. Just let me know what info you will need.
http://www.bearingboys.co.uk/product.cgi?action=view&id=21381 This is the type of pulley.
Distance from center to center is 450 mm.
The max speed is 5000 rpm.
max about 1000 HP and 1000 NM.

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?
 
Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'
Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...
I need some assistance with calculating hp requirements for moving a load. - The 4000lb load is resting on ball bearing rails so friction is effectively zero and will be covered by my added power contingencies. Load: 4000lbs Distance to travel: 10 meters. Time to Travel: 7.5 seconds Need to accelerate the load from a stop to a nominal speed then decelerate coming to a stop. My power delivery method will be a gearmotor driving a gear rack. - I suspect the pinion gear to be about 3-4in in...
