TENSIONING PROCEDURE<br />

POWERING GLOBAL INDUSTRY<br />

When installing a PLATINUM belt, the correct belt tension will reduce the possibility of:<br />

i) TOOTH JUMP OR RATCHETING<br />

The proper tension is needed to prevent tooth jump under the most severe load conditions that the<br />

drive will encounter.<br />

ii) EXTREMELY HIGH BELT TENSION<br />

Extremely high tension will result in elevated noise levels and reduced belt and bearing life.<br />

METHOD 1: STANDARD PLATINUM BELT INSTALLATION AND TENSIONING PROCEDURE<br />

The required static tension can be determined using the following procedure:<br />

A. Calculate the installation tension (Tst)<br />

Where: P = Motor Power (From Basic Drive Data)<br />

V = <strong>Belt</strong> Speed (ft/min) From Formula [6]<br />

K m = Motor Class Factor (from Table 6)<br />

m = Mass Factor (From Table 7)<br />

V = d p x n f 5.614 x 1750 2572 ft/min<br />

EXAMPLE: 16500 x 10 x 1.5 + 7.93 x 10 -6 x 0.121 x (2572) 2 96.2 + 6.3 = 103 lbs<br />

Note: T st must be compared with the minimums listed in Table 10.<br />
