1.
The values given in the “BELT DEFLECTION FORCE” table are calculated for nominal
conditions and are provided for reference only. The required tension may vary due to
application, manufacturing variances, component wear, etc. Drive belts must be kept tight
enough to prevent slipping. If belts slip or squeak, they need to be tightened.
2.
Belt cross-section can be found printed on the outside surface of the belt.
If belts are too tight, overload will be put on motor and motor bearings.
