Source : https://www.astra-honda.com/product/scoopy

The all new Honda Scoopy 2022 is one of the most sought after entry level urban city
motorcycle in Indonesia, especially in the greater Jakarta. This light bike is powered by a 4-stroke
109,5 cc SOHC engine and is driven by a V-belt. This particular Honda Scoopy 2022 is used to
commute to the campus & workshops every day for 4 hours.

1
 The picture above is a V-Belt taken from the older Scoopy version, namely Scoopy Carburetor
KVY V-SUPER variant. This older version of Scoopy is powered by a slightly smaller engine – a
2-stroke 108 cc SOHC engine.

2
 In this project, we are going to re-analyze if this older version V-belt is suitable for the all new
Honda Scoopy 2022. Also, we are going to design an upgraded version of this V-belt. It will
include the material, dimensions, and the type of belt. In addition to that, we are also going to
analyze the safety factors associated with the V-belt design.

2. Objective
a. To analyze the safety factor and number of strands for Scoopy Carburetor KVY V-
SUPER B110 V-Belt when fitted to the All New Honda Scoopy 2022 using a method
explained in Shigley’s textbook.
b. To re-design or upgrade the V-belt before to be fit for the desired design load.

1. Scoopy Carburetor KVY V-SUPER B110 V-Belt Analysis
a. Finding V (peripheral speed) of the belt
Peripheral speed of belt is governed by the following formula :

The calculation is as follows :

From the calculation, we get V = 2535,79 ft/min.

b. Determining Lc (Length Conversion Dimensions).
Length Conversion Dimensions is determined by the following table :
6
 As what is printed on the belt, this V-Belt is a type B belt. Thus, Lc = 1,8.
c. Calculating Lp (Pitch Length).
Pitch Length is calculated using the following formula :

The calculation is shown below :

From the calculation, we get Lp = 32,9024 in.

d. Calculating C (Center to Center Distance).
Center to Center Distance can be calculated using the following formula :

The calculation is as follows :

7
 From the calculation, we get C = 7,862 in.
e. Calculating ϴ (Angle of Contact).
Angle of Contact can be calculated using the following formula :

The Calculation is as follows :

g. Calculating Htab (Tabulated Power of Belt).

8
 Interpolating in Table 17-12 for V = 4944,79 ft/min and taking Sheave pitch
diameter as 4,6 in for conservative approach ( d = 4,843 in measured ). We get Htab
= 1,286 hp.
h. Determining K1 (Angle of Contact Correction Factor).

Angle of Contact Correction Factor can be determined by interpolating the

following table :

9
 By interpolation, solving for K1, we get K1 = 0,979.
i. Determining K2 (Belt-Length Correction Factor).

Solving for K2 for Type B Belt with 31,1024 in of L, we get K2 = 0,85.

j. Calculating Ha (Allowable Power per Belt).

The calculation is as follows :

10
 We get H allowable = 1,78 hp.
k. Determining nd (Design Factor).
Assuming the Scoopy is operated for light duty at 4 hours per day, we can assume
the design factor to be 1.
l. Determining Ks (Service Factor).

Assuming the Scoopy is under normal torque operation and uniform loading, we
can assume the design factor to be 1,2.
m. Calculating Hd (Design Power).
Design Power is governed by the following formula :

The calculation is presented below :

Based on the calculation, we get design power is 3,216 hp.

n. Calculating Nb (Number of Belt).
11
 Until now, we have find that the Honda Scoopy 2022 will need at least 2 strand of
Scoopy Carburetor KVY V-SUPER V-Belt. However, that is not possible since
we have only one slot for V belt in the pulley drive. So, we are going to redesign
the new belt qualified for this Honda Scoopy 2022.
2. Honda Scoopy 2022 V-Belt Re-design.
a. From the previous analysis, we know that Hd = almost 2 times Ha. For that reason,
we will select a belt with a Htab > the previous Hd. That is a belt with an Htab >
3,216 hp.

From table 17-2, we can see belt B type with small Sheave Pitch diameter of 6,2
in & large sheave diameter of 7,4 in, has a Htab of 3,94 hp at 3000 ft/min and
4,28 hp at 4000 ft/min – which are close to our requirement. Next, we are going to
12
 analyze if this belt is eligible to sustain our design load. Also, we will calculate
the number of belt required to sustain this load as well as the safety factor.
b. Finding V (peripheral speed) of the belt
Peripheral speed of belt is governed by the following formula :

The calculation is as follows :

From the calculation, we get V = 3246,32 ft/min.

c. Determining Lc (Length Conversion Dimensions).
Length Conversion Dimensions is determined by the following table :

We choose for B belt type. Thus, Lc = 1,8.

d. Calculating Lp (Pitch Length).
Pitch Length is calculated using the following formula :

13
 The calculation is shown below :

From the calculation, we get Lp = 32,9024 in.

e. Calculating C (Center to Center Distance).
Center to Center Distance can be calculated using the following formula :

The calculation is as follows :

From the calculation, we get C = 5,738 in.

f. Calculating ϴ (Angle of Contact).
Angle of Contact can be calculated using the following formula :

14
 The Calculation is as follows :

g. Calculating exp(0,5123*ϴ).

h. Calculating Htab (Tabulated Power of Belt).

15
 Interpolating in Table 17-12 for V = 3246 ft/min and taking Sheave Pitch Diameter
as 6,2 in, we get Htab = 4,042 hp.
i. Determining K1 (Angle of Contact Correction Factor).

Angle of Contact Correction Factor can be determined by interpolating the

following table :

By interpolation, solving for K1, we get K1 = 0,971.

j. Determining K2 (Belt-Length Correction Factor).

16
 Solving for K2 for Type C Belt with 31,1024 of L, we get K2 = 0,85.
k. Calculating Ha (Allowable Power per Belt).

The calculation is as follows :

We get H allowable = 3,336 hp.

l. Determining nd (Design Factor).
Assuming the Scoopy is operated for light duty at 4 hours per day, we can assume
the design factor to be 1.
m. Determining Ks (Service Factor).

17
 Assuming the Scoopy is under normal torque operation and uniform loading, we
can assume the design factor to be 1,2.
n. Calculating Hd (Design Power).
Design Power is governed by the following formula :

The calculation is presented below :

Based on the calculation, we get design power is 3,216 hp.

o. Calculating Nb (Number of Belt).

18
 Until now, we have find Nb = 0,96, rounded to 1. This means that the Honda
Scoopy 2022 will need only 1 strand of V-Belt. This suits our requirements.
p. Determining Kb.
Kb can be determined by the following formula :

For B type V-belt, Kb = 576.

q. Determining Kc.
Kc can be determined from the following table :

For B type V-belt, Kc = 0.965.

r. Calculating Fc (Centrifugal Tension).
Centrifugal Tension can be calculated by the following formula :

19
 The calculation is shown below :

s. Calculating ΔF.
Delta F can be calculated by the formula below :

The calculation is shown below :

t. Calculating F1 (Largest Tension).

Largest Tension can be calculated by the following formula :

20
 The calculation is shown below :

The largest tension is 52,23 lbf.

u. Calculating F2 (Least Tension).
Least Tension can be calculated by the following formula :

The calculation is as follows :

F2 = 19,534 lbf.
v. Calculating Fi (Initial Tension).
Initial Tension is calculated by using the formula below :

21
 The calculation is as follows :

w. Calculating nfs (Factor of Safety).

Factor of Safety is calculated by using the following formula :

The calculation is as follows :

Wet get a factor of safety 1,037, which is larger than 1. Thus, this V-belt can
sustain the designed load.
x. Calculating T1
T1 can be calculated by using the following formula :

22
 The calculation is as follows :

y. Calculating T2
T2 can be calculated by using the following formula :

The calculation is as follows :

z. Determining Force Peaks (b) and K

Force Peaks is determined by using Table 17-17 shown below :

23
 For B belt, b = 10.926, K = 1193.
aa. Calculating Number of Passes (Np)
Number of Passes can be calculated using the following formula :

The calculation is as follows :

From the calculation, we get Np = 7,611,334,032 or approximately 7.6*10^9. We

can see that the Np is out of the validity range given by table 17-17 below :

So, instead, we are going to calculate the lifetime (t) in hours in the next step.
bb. Calculating lifetime in hours (t)
Lifetime can be calculated by using the following formula :

24
 The calculation is as follows :

We get our lifetime in hours approximately 14 x 10^3 hours.

3. From our V-belt analysis, we can see that B110 Scoopy Carburetor KVY V-SUPER V-
Belt will only be able to sustain our design load with a minimum of 2 strands configuration.
Unfortunately, this does not meet our requirement for only 1 slot belt. That being said, we
re-design the V-belt for All New Honda Scoopy 2022 by choosing a larger sheave (6,2 &
7,4 in ), Kevlar-aramid reinforced-rubber made, B-type V belt. By using this configuration,
we find this newly designed V-belt will be able to sustain the load with a safety factor of
approximately 1,037 and a lifetime of approximately 14 x 10^3 hours.

This is in line with the theoretical catalog for B type V-belt tabulated in Table 17-17, in
which any B-type V-belt should have a minimum sheave diameter of 5 inch for a lifetime
between 10^8 to 10^9 force peaks. In our initial analysis, the B110 Scoopy Carburetor
KVY V-SUPER V-Belt only has a round 4.8 inch smaller sheave diameter, which is lower
than 5 in minimum. As we can observe in the calculation, this V-Belt needs a minimum of
2 strands to sustain the load in order to reach 10^8-10^9 force peaks or more of lifetime.

In contrast with that, our newly redesign V-belt for All New Honda Scoopy 2022 fulfills
the theoretical minimum 5 in sheave diameter specified by the table 17-17. As we can
observe, not only this V-belt can sustain the design load with a single strand, but also has
a lifetime exceeding the 10^9 bar – later we find the equivalent lifetime in hours exceeds
fourteen thousand hours.

25
6. Conclusion

Based on our analysis, a single strand of B110 Scoopy Carburetor KVY V-SUPER V-Belt taken
from the older version carbu Scoopy will not be able to sustain the design load for the All New
Honda Scoopy 2022. It will take a minimum of 2 strands of this V-belt to sustain the design load.

Building on that basis, we redesigned a new V-belt for the All New Honda Scoopy 2022. This
new belt has been analyzed in the section before and is fit for this designed load with a safety
factor of 1,037 and a lifetime of approximately 14 x 10^3 hours. The specification of this new V-
belt is as follows :
Description Symbol Unit Data
Smaller pulley/sheave diameter d in 6,2
Larger pulley/sheave diameter D in 7,4
Kevlar Aramid-Reinforced
Materials Rubber
Thickness b mm/in 8/0,315
Included Angle α deg 40
Belt Type B-type
Inner Circumference L mm/in 31,1024
Angle of Contact ϴ deg 177,8
Pitch Length in 32,9
Searching the existing belt in the stock market for the V-belt with above specification, we
recommend the following belt : BX31 by Browning @Gripnotch Belts. BX31 Belt has a slightly
shorter pitch length at about 32,8 inches.
