9.7.2 Testing the toothed belt tension with a force/displacement measuring device
Please direct any queries on the force/displacement measuring device to Parker, ID no. 037-000202. Measurement
process:
► For vertical alignment of the drive, first dismantle the payload.
► The IP54 cover must be opened so that the toothed belt is accessible, in accordance with section 7.4.1.
► Move the carriage without loads in both directions, so that the toothed belt can settle.
► Adjust
Measurement A
(see page 32) from the middle
drive shaft
to the
carriage
with 500 mm or 250 mm
for short drives
► For a correct belt tension the belt must be able to be pushed through 6 to 7 mm for an uncovered belt
length of 500 mm or 3 to 3.5 mm for 250 mm.
With a force/displacement measuring device (Dynamometer FDN200 with test pins, ID No. 16187FIL) the following force
should be read:

If the value measured is lower than the value stated in the table above, the toothed belt must be replaced.
9.7.3 Tensioning of the belt
► Remove the
carriage cover
in order to reach the parts underneath
► Loosen the
nut
from
spiral tension pin
and
lock screw.
► Check the belt tensioning while screwing the
Tension pin
as per section 9.7.1 on page 33.
► If the belt tensioning is adjusted the
nut
of the
Tension pin
can be tightened and the
lock screws
equally
fixed by 10% of the shown value.
