Belt tensioner

chain and beltchainmanual

When used in power transmission drives, all V-belts and roller chains will elongate significantly over time if not properly maintained. Incorrect belt or chain tension will lead to increased downtime, lower equipment productivity and inflated maintenance costs. To achieve optimum drive performance, correct drive belt or chain tension must be maintained. The solution? A self-adjusting T-Max Tensioner from Fenner Drives! T-Max automatic tensioners eliminate the need for regular manual retensioning of drives. Avoid the risk of inadvertently over-tensioning drive components and enhance your overall drive operating efficiency. Combined with a PowerMax idler pulley or chain sprocket from Fenner Drives, an automatic T-Max Tensioner can be used to: Extend the life of critical drive components Reduce system downtime Increase drive efficiency Reduce belt and chain whip on long center drives Ensure drive components do not snag obstructions Reduce resonant frequency of chain drives T-Max Light Duty Rotary Tensioners allow for easy installation and adjustment with a single bolt feature and come in a variety of sizes and mounting styles. T-Max Light Duty Rotary Tensioners improve performance and extend life for most fixed-center drives. The built-in spring mechanism absorbs momentary overloads and reduces vibration. The RT1000 and RT1600 series are best suited for single groove V-belt drives using 3L, SPZ, A/13 (4L) or B/17 (5L) belts.
