Because V-belts operate on the friction principle, multiplied by the mechanical advantage of the wedging principle, proper tensioning of v-belts is the single most important factor necessary for long, satisfactory operation.
Too little tension will result in slippage, causing rapid belt and sheave wear, and loss of productivity. Too much tension can result in excessive stress on belts, bearings, and shafts and reduced efficiency.
In addition to proper belt tensioning, care should be exercised regarding sheave groove wear and alignment, as these factors also play an important part in achieving long, trouble-free service of your belt drives.
