The toothed belt pretensioning is determined by measuring the fundamental
oscillation (natural frequency) of the toothed belt with a fixed and freely
oscillating strand length (L). As the freely oscillating strand length (L) cannot be
measured directly, the distance (L1) between the motor pulley housing (a) and
the Y-axis (b) is used as a reference. This distance can be adjusted by offsetting
the Y-axis. The oscillation measurement is then carried out at this point.
1. Set the distance (L1) between the motor pulley housing (a) and the Y-axis
(b) to 90 mm, see the drawing above.
Caution
The pretension of the toothed belt is not an indicator of wear!
The values specified here are relate to a new toothed belt.
The toothed belt is set to the specified value in the factory, and is thus maintenance-free for its entire service life.
The pretension of the toothed belt reduces due to storage time and operation. This is not an indication of wear; it is a
normal process that must not be changed by retensioning the toothed belt.
The toothed belt pretension must therefore only be set after renewing the toothed belt.
Note
The belt must be able to oscillate freely. The acoustic frequency meter must
not touch the oscillating toothed belt.
To assess the toothed belt pre-tension, several measurements should be
taken to balance out any measurement tolerances.
2. Hold the acoustic frequency meter towards the centre of the distance (L1)
between the motor pulley housing (a) and the Y-axis (b) as described in the
accompanying operating instructions.
3. Make the toothed belt oscillate by striking it with a thin, heavy object, such
as an Allen key or pin punch.
4. If the measured natural frequency is within the allowable range of
182 Hz
to 192 Hz
, the threaded pins in the pulley housings can be tightened with a
tightening torque of 2.4 Nm ±10 %.
Example representation
Adjusting the toothed belt pre-tension
If the measured natural frequency is outside the specified range, the toothed belt pre-tension must be adjusted as
follows:
Turning the socket head screws clockwise increases the toothed belt
pre-tension, and turning the socket head screws anticlockwise decreases the
toothed belt pre-tension.
5. Adjust the toothed belt pre-tension by turning the socket head screws
evenly in the pulley housings.
