Question:

Why should the belt adjust the tension?

Why should the belt adjust the tension?

Answer:

The driving belt is the power that rotates the motor or the engine of the prime mover, and is transmitted by belt to the mechanical equipment through the pulley, so it is also called the power belt.
Belt tight will make the belt wear seriously, too loose, easy to slip phenomenon, so that the belt serious wear and tear, or even burned. In general, two rounds of distance about 1 meters, with the finger press the middle of the belt, should be vertical down 10-20 mm. The belt should be checked for the tension of the belt and adjusted at any time.
The belt transmits power by friction, so the belt needs to adjust the tension to get the right friction. Tension can be adjusted between belt and pulley friction force by adjusting the transmission belt, transmission belt tension is adjusted by the tensioner (no tensioner can directly adjust the track)
