How to use this v-belt tension meter :
Set the first o-ring at 10 mm on the millimeter scale, as shown figure 8.1,
■
picture 4, and the other o-ring on position 0 on the Newton scale.
Install the tension meter as shown on picture 3 – figure 8, in the midle,
■
half-way between the v-belt contacts point of the v-belts and the two pulleys.
Push the Newton scale's black rubber down in order to reach a 10 mm
■
bending of the v-belt (pictures 2 and 4).
Check the result of your measurement. Tighten the belt tightener to reach
■
the value given in table below.
The stretching of the V-belts can also be checked with a frequency
meter:
Position the tool on the longest V-belt in its centre and mark this belt.
■
Place the frequency meter between the motor and generator pulleys,
■
10 mm above the belts.
Strike the belt and read the frequency (Hz). Refer to the table below for the
■
rated value.
