    This document provides a method for calculating the RPM of a belt-driven blower without using a tachometer. It involves recording the rated motor RPM from the motor nameplate, measuring the effective diameters of the motor and blower pulleys, and using those values in a calculation to determine the blower RPM by multiplying the motor RPM by the motor pulley diameter and dividing by the blower pulley diameter. Examples are given showing calculations for different pulley sizes that result in RPMs of 1006 and 1150.

    How to Calculate Belt Driven Blower RPM without a
    photo-tachometer
    1. Record rated motor RPM from motor name plate.
    2. Measure the motor sheave (pulley) where the outside of the belt rides, this is
    effective diameter.
    3. Measure the blower sheave (pulley) where the outside of the belt rides, this is the
    effective diameter.
    4. Multiply the motor name plate RPM by the motor sheave effective diameter and
    divide by the blower sheave's diameter. This equals Blower RPM.
    EXAMPLE #1
    3450 3.5" 12" = 1006 RPM
    EXAMPLE #2
    1725 4" 6" = 1150 RPM
