Sample Exercise Extracted from Belt Drives 1
4 BELT TENSIONIN OBJECTIVES In this job, you will adjust the tension of a two-sheave belt drive. You will use a belt tension tester to measure the tension of the belt. EQUIPMENT REQUIRED C Universal Base Assembly, model 46603 C Motor Package, model 46609 C Couplings - Shafts Panel, model 46610 C Pillow Block Bearings Panel, model 46611 C Belt Drives, model 46612 C Test/Measurement Package, model 46630 C Tool Box Component Package, model 46631 SAFETY PROCEDURES Before proceeding with this job, complete the following check list. You are wearing safety glasses. You are wearing safety shoes. You are not wearing anything that might get caught such as a tie, jewelry, or loose clothes. If your hair is long, tie it out of the way. The working area is clean and free of oil. The floor is not wet. Your sleeves are rolled up. PROCEDURE Lockout/Tagout Procedure 1. Set the disconnecting switch to OFF. BELT DRIVES 1 3
BELT TENSIONIN 2. Write your name on a tag, and install it in the lockout device. 3. Lock the disconnecting switch with the lockout device. 4. Lock the lockout device with your padlock. 5. Ask the instructor and each teammate to install their own padlocks in the lockout device. Note: The universal base should be set up from Job Sheet 3. Repeat Job Sheet 3 if necessary. Belt Span Measurement 6. Using a straightedge, measure the belt span as shown in Figure 4-2. Belt span: Figure 4-2. Measurement of belt span. Belt Tension Tester Setup 7. Position the large O-ring of the belt tension tester at the measured belt span. 8. Position the small O-ring at zero on the deflection force scale. 4 BELT DRIVES 1
BELT TENSIONIN Belt Tensioning 9. Tension the belt slightly by turning the tension adjustment screw in the clockwise direction on the motor mounting base. Move away the base if more tension is needed. Realign the sheaves as described in Job Sheet 3 if you do so. Note: It is preferable to increase the tension of the belt gradually until the recommended tension is obtained, instead of removing tension after over tensioning. Positioning the Tension Tester 10. Place the tension tester squarely on the belt at mid-span as shown in Figure 4-3. Lay a straightedge across the sheaves. Figure 4-3. Belt deflection force measurement. 11. Apply a force on the plunger perpendicular to the straightedge until the bottom of the large O-ring is even with the bottom of the straightedge. Reading and Adjusting Tension 12. Remove the tension tester and read the force applied from the bottom of the small O-ring on the deflection force scale. 13. Compare the force applied to the recommended values shown in Table 4-1. Add tension as required. BELT DRIVES 1 5
