Drive belt tension

[@johnbarron4265]

Good demo of v-belt tensioning. Though it looks like the measuring range of that instrument is too large to get an accurate tensioning for your specific belt. A tensiometer with a smaller range on both the force and deflection scales may give you a more accurate tensioning.

Very good explanation 👊

nice knowledges sharing...i subscribed!

Hello Sir, I am following you from Algeria. Greetings to you. I have a question. I have a motor with a power of 15kw and 3000t/m. I want to reduce the rotation to 1500t/m. What are the diameters of the pulley for the motor and the other for the opposite one

[@sixjoys81]

what if you don't have manuals or any investigating materials, how do i find the belt deflection force.

[@zefferysoo]

hi. can i press the tester from the internal side of the belt? (due to space issue). thanks

[@saitmillwright804]

I would think so. Let me know how it goes.

[@zefferysoo]

@@saitmillwright804 already did that. test run at max speed (700 rpm) and it didnt sound like theres a problem

[@saitmillwright804]

@@zefferysoo That's good to hear. Thanks for letting me know.

great

Lol I was thinking the same thing. Then I realized it's the Canadian accent.

[@MrTimrivero]

Where did you get the tension gauge? Is there a specific kind recommended for millwright mechanics?

[@saitmillwright804]

Any industrial supplier should have a belt tension gauge especially if they sell belts. Good year, Gates, Eagle... all make a belt tension gauge. I have even found them on amazon for very reasonable prices.

[@DrewNutts]

Awesome video! Thank you!

[@saitmillwright804]

Thanks

[@RobertLanghorn]

Do the Gates Krikit belt tension gauges work just as well?

[@saitmillwright804]

I believe it would.

Sir I nded this chart

[@jase5005]

most fitters (millwrights for you northern blokes) just poke it with their fingers and go "yeah she's good enough"

[@FueledByRyan0]

She ain't too tight, she ain't too loose. Run it. 🤣

[@MrLucifuge1973]

I need to know how to get that god damn pulley/flywheel off ffs. lolol

[@MrLucifuge1973]

Just to follow up. There is a small key or hex plug/bolt about an inch deep in the slot where a longer key would normally be installed. I don't know it mine just shifted over but it was impossible to remove. I ended breaking the wheel and having to grind off the remaining hub.
