When the coupling is incorrectly aligned, use a feeler gauge between the
coupling and the straightedge to measure the amount of skew in the
alignment. Realign the coupling according to the coupling manufacturer’s
specification.
4. V-Belt Drives
Both the power source and the pump
must
be parallel when using V-belt
drives. A straightedge placed along the pulleys’ sides will help determine the
correct alignment of the pulleys (Figure 19).
Be sure the belts are matched in drive systems using two or more belts.
Mismatched belts will cause wear and a shorter belt life.
Figure 19
Always tighten drive belts to the belt manufacturer’s specifications. Belts will
slip if they are too loose, and there will be excessive power loss and potential
bearing failure if they are too tight,
Excessive pump speed may harm both the pump and its power source so
always use pulleys that correspond to the correct speed ratio.
ALL GUARDS AND PROTECTIVE DEVICES MUST BE INSTALLED BEFORE THE PUMP
IS STARTED. CONTACT WITH UNGUARDED BELTS, SHEAVES, OR COUPLINGS
COULD RESULT IN INJURY.
