Machine belts need to be tensioned properly in order to work well. If the tension is “off,” the belt will ride either too tight or too loose on the pulley. When this happens, there will be slippage. Heat will build up from friction, and it’s highly likely that a belt will crack or break.
If a machine belt is too tight, that’s adding stress on the bearings. The motor, then, will likely over amp and, ultimately, fail.
Signs of improper Machine Belt Tension
What are some signs of improper machine belt tension? Augljóslega, if you see cracks in the belt, you’ve got problems. If the belt makes a squealing noise when the machine starts up, that could indicate a tension problem. Einnig, be on the lookout for a hardened appearance, pieces broken off, and/or pulleys wearing out long before they normally should… And with regards to the motor, if you notice a worn out front motor bearing or there’s over amperage of the motor while the machine is running, you probably have a tension issue.
Seiffert Industrial recommends that belts be tensioned according to manufacturer’s recommendations. Newer belts generally require higher tension levels because they haven’t been “run in.” Ideally, a belt should be tensioned such that the force required to achieve the desired deflection distance is within the belt’s manufacturer’s recommended force values for the type of belt(s) being used.
Hafðu í huga að spennustillingar á reima geta breytt röðun hjóla og spennustillingar reima geta breytt spennustigum reima. Seiffert Industrial mælir með Talía Pro® leikkerfið tól sem hægt er að nota til að hjálpa til við að fylgjast með ástandi trissujöfnunar þar sem beltin eru stillt fyrir rétta spennustigið. Við mælum líka með Gates Sonic Spenna Meter sem mælir beltisspennu á auðveldan og nákvæman hátt. Með þessum mæli, beltisspennan er mæld með því að rífa beltið á meðan skynjari er haldið nálægt. Beltisspennan er stillt þar til tíðni beltisspennunnar eða mæld spennustig er innan ráðlegginga framleiðanda.
