Fitting the "V" belts
Observe the following instructions carefully:
If one or several belts fail, a new set must be mounted.
– Use only measured V-belt sets.
Align shafts and pullies.
– The maximum deviation of the pully alignment must not exceed 1°.
Reduce the motor distance so that the belt can be fitted into the grooves without force.
The use of levers, screwdrivers etc. to force fit is not permitted.
Do not use belt wax or spray.
Setting the V-belt bias
Fig. 18: Setting the belt bias
Place spring balance with load hook A in centre of strand.
Apply required test load f of 50 N according to scale C; pull spring balance at right-
angle to the strand.
If necessary, correct the bias until the setpoint value is reached.
Observe the drive during the first few hours of operation and retension after approx.
0.5 to 4 hours running time under full load.
Check the belt bias again after approx. 24 hours of operation and correct if necessary.
