Tension Measurement Correct v-belt tension can be achieved using a v- belt tension tester and Table 1 or 2. Use the tables to find the v-belt size (cross-section), the smallest sheave diameter, the belt type for your application.

OM−00652 10 SERIES Place the tension tester squarely on the belt at the O-ring on the deflection force scale. Compare this center of the belt span. Apply force on the plunger, force with the value shown in Table 1 or 2 and ad- perpendicular to the belt span, until the bottom of just the tension accordingly.
