BELT TENSION AND ALIGNMENT CONTROL
A simple “Rule of thumb” for checking belt tension is
illustrated at right.
When the belt is grasped as shown, a total deection of
approximately 25mm (1”) should be easily attained.
Excessive deection is an indication that the belt is not
tight enough, and if not corrected, could result in slippage
causing loss of blower speed and belt failure through
wear.
Too small deection indicates that the belt is too tight,
and if not slackened somewhat could cause noise from
excessive vibration, premature bearing failure and shorter
belt life.
Efciency is another reason to properly adjust belt tension.
Excessive belt tension can create such a power demand
as to actually overload a motor that otherwise would be
quite adequate.
It goes without question however, that like all “Rules of
thumb” some judgement is necessary on the part of
person doing the adjusting.
A belt should be just tight enough to avoid slippage.
Before locking the motor is position, check the alignment
of pulleys with a straight edge to conserve belt life as well
as to eliminate the possibility of unnecessary noise.

MOUNTING OF PULLEYS
A simple “Rule of thumb” for checking belt tension is
illustrated at right.
When the belt is grasped as shown, a total deection of
approximately 25mm (1”) should be easily attained.
Excessive deection is an indication that the belt is not
tight enough, and if not corrected, could result in slippage
causing loss of blower speed and belt.
REMOVAL OF PULLEY
Remove tightening screws.
Insert one of the screws in the semi-threaded hole and
tighten until bushing becomes loose on shaft.
Don’t use hammer or puller to remove the pulley. Don’t change pulleys without written
consent of KLS; otherwise we take no responsibility for the consequences
