I have a 8-1/2 inch drive pulley turning at 340 rpm. I want to have it drive a pulley and want that pulley, the driven pulley, to turn at 200 rpm. What is the formula to figure out what size pulley I need. Please help:smile: :smile:

The product of speed and diameter will be the same on both driven pulleys.
