ZLW Series Belt Tensioning

1. Using a ‘Belt Tensioning Meter’ to measure belt tension, turn the 4 Jack Screws counter-clockwise to increase

belt tension. Turn the Jack Screws evenly in a crisscross pattern. To reduce belt tension turn the Jack Screws

clockwise.

i. Belt mass property = 0.059 kg/m

ii. Proper Belt Tension should be 200N

2. Once the proper belt tension is achieved, install 4 Locking Set Screws

3. Verify Belt Tension. If adjustment is needed, loosen the Locking Set Screws and repeat the above steps.

4. Install plastic End Caps
