SECTION 8
DRIVE V-BELTS
DRIVE V-BELTS –
Power supplied by the electric motor is transmitted to the compressor via shaft-
mounted sheaves and V-belts. The electric motor is mounted on a fixed support, where as the
compressor is mounted on a [two-point] pivoted support which automatically sets v-belt tension.
Servicing the V-Belts:
Figure 8-1 – V-BELT ASSEMBLY
1. Disconnect, lockout and tagout power supply to the compressor package.
2. Lift/pivot compressor to loosen and remove belts.
3. Inspect belts for signs of wear and tear. Replace if necessary.
4. After installing belts, check that the motor weight tightens the belts. Also check that the belt
breakage limit switch has been re-set and that there is a gap (about 3/8”) between the
triggering bracket and the limit switch roller. See Figure 1-3, page10 for the location of the
limit switch.
