1.A 1725-rpm 5-horsepower high-torque electric motor is to be used to drive a woodworking table saw in a storm-window manufacturing plant. The saw is to operate 16 hours per day, 5 days per week, at full-rated motor horsepower. A V-belt drive is to be used between the motor and the saw input pulley. Ideally, the center distance between the motor drive sheave and the driven saw sheave should be about 30 inches, and the driven 5 32- 1 8 sheave should rotate at approximately 1100 rpm. Saw operation will probably produce moderate shock loading. Propose a V-belt drive arrangement that will provide a mean life of about 1 year between belt replacements.
