ALIGNMENT VALUES
The standard limit for V-belt drive alignment is 0.5
degrees, and 0.25 degrees for synchronous drives.
Most major belt and pulley manufacturers specify
these values. Pulley alignment can be set closer
than this if the alignment procedure is carefully
followed. The following table converts degrees of
misalignment to mils/inch and mm/100 (of pulley
diameter) of misalignment between the projected
planes of the pulley faces.
