Mechanical
Belt Tension Calculator
Find the tight-side tension required in a belt drive to transmit a given power at a known belt speed. Use it when designing V-belt or flat-belt systems to size belts, pulleys, and shafts correctly.

Mechanical
Bearing Load Calculator
Computes the equivalent dynamic load on a bearing by combining radial and axial forces with an application load factor. Use this when selecting bearings or verifying load ratings in rotating machinery.
