    PERATION Operating the Belt Tension Pro is simple and straight forward. " “ ENERAL INFORMATION ON BELT TENSION Measuring the belt span tension To calculate the belt span tension or trum force, the measured values of the belt tension, the belt mass and the belt length are input. The calculated trum force is compared with the nominal value that is defined during the design of the drive.
  • Page 11: Measuring The Belt Tension

    EASURING THE BELT TENSION The belt tension can only be measured when the drive is switched off and stopped. Caution Before making measurements, ensure that the machine is switched off (master switch) and secured against unintentional restarting. The installed and tensioned drive belt is set into natural oscillation with a short impulse or by striking it lightly.
