5.6 BELT TENSION ADJUSTMENT
Special Tools
Belt tension gauge (39199138).
A belt that is too loose will slip, causing overheating,
reduction in belt life, and a loss of compressor
efficiency.
Conversely, a belt that is too tight may cause a
reduction in belt life and may overload bearings. The
proper tensioning method is described as follows:
1. Remove the right guard.
2. At the center of the sheave span, apply a force
(perpendicular to the span) by use of a tension gauge
or other calibrated spring (See Figure 5.6-1). At the
appropriate deflection measurement, the applied force
should be as given in Figure 5.6-1.
3. If the belt tension is incorrect, loosen the nut on the
pivot bolt located on the left side (nearest the separator
tank) on the airend (See Figure 5.6-2). Then loosen the
locknut on the tensioning bolt located on the right side
of the airend (See Figure 5.6-3).
4. Rotate the belt tensioning bolt clockwise until the
proper belt tension is achieved, as measured by a belt
tension gauge. This gauge can be obtained from your
Ingersoll-Rand Distributor or Air Center. Tighten the belt
tensioning locknut.
Do not overtighten belts. It may cause damage to
bearings, shaft or seal retainer assembly.
5. Reinstall right guard.
6. There will normally be a rapid drop in belt tension
during the run-in period. Tension new belts with the
deflection force as indicated. Check tension frequently
during the first 24 hours of unit operation.
