MVP Variable Speed Sheaves
Mounting:
1
Verify both driving and driven sheaves are in alignment and
the shafts are parallel. The centerline of the driving sheave
must be in line with the centerline of the driven sheave
(
Figure 46
).
2
Verify that all setscrews are torqued to the values shown in
Table 19
before starting drive. Check setscrew torque and
belt tension after 24 hours of service.
Adjusting:
1
Adjust motor base forward to release belt tension. Remove
the belts for easier adjustment.
2
Loosen, but do not remove both of the locking setscrews
(A)
in the outer locking ring by using a hex key or torque
wrench with a hex bit.
3
Adjust sheave to desired pitch diameter by turning the outer
locking ring, using a spanner wrench or drift inserted into
the three holes that are located 120° apart on the ring.
4
Any pitch diameter can be obtained within the sheave
range. One complete turn of the outer locking ring changes
the pitch diameter 0.233".
5
Do not open sheaves more than the following
a
Do not open
(B)
sheaves more than 4 3/4 turns for the
(A)
belts or 6 turns for the
(B)
belts.
b
Do not open
(C)
sheaves more than 9 1/2 turns.
c
Do not open
5V
sheaves more than 6 turns.
d
Do not open
8V
sheaves more than 8 turns.
6
Tighten BOTH locking screws
(A)
in the outer locking ring
before operating the drive. Use a torque wrench and tighten
to the value shown in
Table 19
.
7
Replace belts and adjust the motor base to tension the belts
properly. See
Fan Drive Belt
.
8
Do not loosen any screws other than the two locking screws
(A)
in the outer locking ring when adjusting the sheave
pitch. Do not operate the drive until the locking screws
have been set to the torque specifications.
