V-Belt Tension

Ideal V-Belt tension is the lowest tension at which the belt will not slip under
peak load conditions. Check V-Belt tension frequently during the first 24-48
hours of run-in operation.
§ Over-tensioning shortens belt and bearing life.
§ Keep belts clean of foreign material that may cause slippage.
§ Make V-Belt inspection a periodic procedure.
§ Never dress belts, as this can cause premature failure.
