How to measure the length of the required belt:
- Wrap the rope around the two pulleys
- Make a mark
- Place the marked rope on a flat surface and use a tape measure to measure the distance between the two marks, which is the inner circumference of the belt
- To accurately measure the length of the v-belt, use a belt measuring tool or a soft ruler, not a steel ruler.
- The width and thickness of the belt should also be measured to confirm the type of belt.
Installation:
- First, loosen the tensioning device, then press the v-belt into the pulley groove by hand, and finally tighten it again.
Notice:
- Pay attention to the wear of the belt groove of the v-belt pulley.
- Check whether the centerline of the two pulley shafts is parallel, whether the corresponding pulley slots are aligned, and whether there is any skewing phenomenon.
- When one v-belt is badly worn and cannot be used, replace all the v-belts at the same time, with the same type and equal length, so that each belt has the same tension.
Maintenance:
- Regularly check the v-belt tension, after adjustment still can not meet the specified requirements, must be replaced with a new v-belt.
- In use, the operating temperature of the v-belt should not exceed 140°F, do not apply belt grease casually.
- Various types of v-belt, should not be coated with rosin or sticky substances, but also to prevent v-belt from oil, butter and gasoline, otherwise, it will corrode the v-belt, and shorten the service life.
- V-belt should be stored at a relatively low temperature, with no direct sunlight and no oil and corrosive fumes place.
