Enter the crankshaft pulley diameter (in) and the alternator pulley diameter (in) into the Calculator. The calculator will evaluate the Alternator Pulley Ratio. 

Alternator Pulley Ratio Formula

APR = CPD / APD

Variables:

  • APR is the Alternator Pulley Ratio (in/in)
  • CPD is the crankshaft pulley diameter (in)
  • APD is the alternator pulley diameter (in)

To calculate Alternator Pulley Ratio, divide the crankshaft pulley diameter by the alternator pulley diameter.

How to Calculate Alternator Pulley Ratio?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Alternator Pulley Ratio.

  1. First, determine the crankshaft pulley diameter (in). 
  2. Next, determine the alternator pulley diameter (in). 
  3. Next, gather the formula from above = APR = CPD / APD.
  4. Finally, calculate the Alternator Pulley Ratio.
  5. After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.

Example Problem : 

Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.

crankshaft pulley diameter (in) = 200

alternator pulley diameter (in) = 100
