Does lug height change the final drive ratio on a snowmobile

A truck running at 2150 rpm with a 10x22.5 tire and then switched over to a 12x22.5 runs 12mp/h faster at the same rpm. It strange how that happens

A track is not a tire .....it will take more RPM's of the motor to cause 1 full revolution of a longer track .....geesh

the longer a conveyor is the more feet per minute it travels at a given rpm..that should help you see you are wrong.:lol:

is the rpm gauge on a sled measuring track revolutions or engine revolutions ....sweet fuck are you a moron

The final speed of a conveyor is usually governed by the diameter of its driven roll.  Unlike a track, belt thickness does affect the linear speed, but its usually pretty insignificant.  Lenth of a conveyor has nothing to do with it.  Increase the roll diameter and you increase the linear speed.

you're wrong..length of the conveyor does make a diff if all else is equal.

Lets say a motor is turning the conveyor at 1-1..the conveyor will always make one revolution for every time the motor makes one revolution...so that said if the conveyor is longer it will travel more distance for the same time allowed...one end of the conveyor is the axis..the other end as measured from the axis will be the circumference.

Capt is so smart ....he figured out that one revolution of a 100 foot long belt is less than one revolution of a 150 foot long belt :lol:

no it stays the same silly..one rev is one rev..but the ft traveled per time allowed will be diff silly!

no one rev is not one rev when the fucking head pulley has not changed diameter ....one rotation of the head pulley will move a 100' belt the same fucking distance as it will move a 1000' belt. We dont measure revolutions of the track ....we measure revolutions of the engine

look a longer conveyor belt will travel faster to get that one rev in from the gearing..what's so hard to understand about that?

no it will not unless the drive pulley is being driven faster

you're wrong ..spend some time with google.

When I was like 20 I used to set conveyors up in canning factories.

oh please fucking explain to me how a longer belt is going to rotate around a drive pulley that is turning a constant speed faster than a shorter belt

 

this ought to be good :lol:

And I work with fucking conveyors of all kinds every day and have for years

Here is a simplified example of of typical drive system for a conveyor.

The diameter at the drive pulley determines how far the belt will move in one rev.  The length of the belt has zero influence.  The thickness of the belt will increase the diameter at the drive pulley but in most cases its not much.
