Belt Adjustment For The Workhorse Servo Motor - Sailrite Fabricator Manual

Belt Adjustment for the
Workhorse Servo Motor
Before installing the drive belt, loosen the hex
head set screw (A) with a 5/32" Allen wrench
to allow the Workhorse Servo Motor to freely
27). This will prevent the belt from
pivot (Figure
stretching or breaking while being installed.
With the machine tilted back, slip the drive
belt over the balance wheel track and guide
it onto the motor pulley then carefully lower
the machine into the cutout while judging belt
tension (Figure 28). If the tension needs to be
adjusted, follow the directions below:
Pivot the motor back to tighten the belt and
forward to loosen it. Proper adjustment of the belt
results in 3/8" of slack when pressed by finger at
its center. Retighten set screw (A). The Linkage
Bar may also need to be readjusted
Once installed, the belt should not touch the
table and should be centered on the track of
both the balance wheel and motor pulley. Adjust
the positioning of the motor left and right by
loosening and sliding the bolts within the slots of
the motor bracket.
Once the motor is in the correct position and
all bolts are tightened, remove the belt so the
pulley bracket can be installed.

Pulley Cover" in the Workhorse instructions.
