Preliminary Steps
Pre-alignment:
1. Lock-out/ tag-out equipment as per the Safety
Department regulations at your facility.
2. Check the condition of the V grooves
to ensure that they are not worn.
3. Check run out on pulleys to assure that they are square to the shafts.
Tool Set up:
1. Mounting tips (“V-belt guides”) come in 4 sizes.
Select the proper tip size for the pulleys.
Insert 2 tips into each Belt Hog unit. The tips
are used to center the Belt Hog; the tips
must contact both walls of the sheaves, but
will not “fill the groove”.
2. Designate movable and stationary units.
The driver is usually the movable unit.
3. Mount the units on the pulleys with the
“On/Off” buttons facing the same direction.
Note: The laser line projected from the stationary unit
to the movable unit is the reference line.
Step 1
Vertical Alignment (twist):
1. Looking at the movable unit mounted on the motor
(or movable pulley), determine the angular misalignment.
2. Move the motor (or movable pulley) by adding or
removing shims under both front feet or both back
feet until the laser line projected on the movable
unit is parallel to the center line of the target label.
Step 2
Horizontal Angular Alignment:
1. Looking at the stationary unit mounted on the stationary pulley, move the back
feet of the motor (or movable pulley) left or right until the laser line projected
on the stationary unit matches the laser line projected on the movable unit.
The laser line projected on the stationary
unit should be the same number of lines left
or right of the target center line and on the
SAME
color panel as the laser line
projected on the movable unit.
Upon aligning, please note:
Looking from
a side view perspective of the stationary and
movable units, the laser lines will appear to
be on opposite sides; however, looking at
each unit individually will reveal that the laser
line is in the same position on both laser
units (same number of lines left or right of
the center line and on the
SAME
color panel).
Step 3
Horizontal Offset Misalignment:
1. Looking at the movable unit, move the motor
(or movable pulley) in or out on the shaft until
the laser line is at the center line of the target
label. If aligned properly, the laser lines on
both the movable and stationary unit will be
at the center of their respective target label.
