GENERAL TENSIONING OF V-BELT DRIVES
A few simple rules about tensioning will satisfy most of your requirements.
1. The best tension for the V-belt drive is
the lowest tension at which the belt will
not slip under the highest load condition.
2. Check the tension on a new belt
frequently during the first day of
operation.

3. Thereafter, check the belt tension
periodically.
4. Too much tension shortens belt and
bearing life.
5. Keep belts and sheaves free from any
foreign material that may cause slippage.
6. If a V-belt slips, tighten it.
