We adjust the tension by tightening or loosening the motor bolts.
We measure fan belt tension in terms of pounds of resistance, or deflection. If your fan belt alignment is off at any of the four points, adjust and re-check the alignment until all of the edges are aligned. Drop the straight edge back up along the belt to ensure that it’s within tolerance as it crosses the fan sheave.Next, line up the straight edge along the motor sheave.Angle the straight edge from the fan sheave down along the belt until it comes into contact with the motor sheave to check that it’s all in line.Line up the straight edge on the fan sheave to check the alignment.There are four simple steps to checking fan belt alignment. Here are some details on each step of the alignment and tensioning process. When installing the v-belt drive, we first check the fan belt alignment using a straight edge, then check the belt tension using a belt tension gauge. Checking and Adjusting Fan Belt Alignment and Tension Proper installation is based on the specifications in the installation and operation manual (IOM).
Getting this right will help extend the life of the fan belt.
The constant motion and friction make it very important to ensure proper fan belt alignment and tension upon installation and during routine maintenance. Many industrial fans operate using a v-belt drive. Industrial Fan V-Belt Installation, Alignment, and Tensioning
