Adjusting Small Belt Tension

Gabi Ra'anan
20-Feb-01

Small belts of new loading system (on X and Y motors) were over tensioned, applying extra force to motor shaft which eventually failed and
broke down. Belt tension should be adjusted using a special tool.

Note: This adjustment is a must when installing new loading systems. It's also highly Recommended to check on existing installations.

Adjustment:

Press jig against pulleys (see picture below), pin should be pressed against belt. You have to see that the pin is flush with surface;
If pin pops out - the belt is too tight, If it stays in - belt is too loose.
