Checking the tension force of the V-belt

1.Remove the V-belt cover.

2.Measure the distance between the roller centers.

3.Determine the belt sag force F for each belt at 16 mm sag if sag "b" is equal to 1 m distance between roller centers. Do this by measuring the distance between roller centers at a right angle to the V-belt.

			Force required for 1m distance between
			roller centres and 16mm sag

4.Compare determined value with the value in the above table. If the value lies below the lowest tolerance limit, the V-belt must be re-tensioned. If the value lies above the highest tolerance limit, the V-belt must be relaxed.

a:Distance between roller centers.

b:Sag

F: Force (direction)

Re-tensioning and relaxing the V-belt

Enlarging or decreasing the centre distance “A” tensions or relaxes the V-belt.

1.Loosen the tensioning screw.

2.Shift the drive motor as required onto the sliding rails.
