What is the rule of thumb for V-belt tension?

Dec 06, 2024

1.Minimum tension without slippage at full load ‌:The best tension for belt drive should be the lowest tension without slippage at full load. This means that under maximum load, the v-belt should be kept in a non-skid condition .

2‌.regular check:the tension should be checked frequently on the first day of use, and then periodically tested. Regular inspections ensure that the v-belt remains properly tensioned after long periods of operation .

3.Avoid overtightening: Overtightening of the v-belt will shorten the life of the belt and shaft. Therefore, when adjusting the tension force, avoid adjusting the belt too tight ‌.

4.prevent slippage:ensure that there is no debris between the v-belt and the pulley that may cause slippage to prevent the v-belt from slipping during the transmission ‌.

5‌. Adjustment method:If skid occurs, you can properly tighten the belt. The adjustment should be carried out gradually, avoid a one-time adjustment of too tight ‌.

The details are as follows:

1‌. Measuring static tension:First measure the static tension, called static tension, in order to adjust the transmission tension ‌.

‌2. Using a tension tester:Using a tension tester, measure the tension of the belt according to specific steps. The steps include measuring the span, setting the deflection point, pressing in the middle of the belt span, reading the pressure and comparing it with the recommended standard range, adjusting if necessary ‌.

 

By following these rules of thumb and specific operating steps, you can ensure that the V-belt tension is appropriate, thereby extending the service life of the belt and mechanical equipment, and ensuring the stability and efficiency of the transmission.
