Practical Tips for Synchronous Pulley Installation and Tension Adjustment?-Ningbo Slongwang Synchronous Belt Co,. Ltd.

When it comes to selecting synchronous pulleys, we typically refer to the pulley selection manual. If the synchronous belt required for the transmission machinery has already been chosen, the pulley selection is usually based on the belt model. Below are some practical insights on the installation precautions for synchronous pulleys and the tension adjustment of the synchronous pulley transmission system.
Synchronous Pulley Installation Guidelines
Gentle Installation: When installing the synchronous pulley onto the belt, avoid using excessive force. Do not use sharp objects to forcibly install the belt. While this may achieve quick installation, it often causes invisible damage to the pulley, affecting its subsequent performance.
During the design and installation of the synchronous belt, try to choose a structure where the center distance between the two pulleys is adjustable. If the structure does not allow for this, it is best to install the belt and pulley together onto the respective shafts.
Tension Adjustment: After installing the synchronous pulley, it is necessary to appropriately adjust the tension of the transmission system.
Parallel Alignment: In synchronous pulley transmissions, it is crucial to ensure absolute parallelism between the axes of the two pulleys. Misalignment can lead to belt misalignment, tooth skipping, or premature wear.
Rigid Frame: The frame for any type of synchronous pulley must have sufficient rigidity to maintain the parallelism of the pulley axes during operation.

Tension Adjustment for Synchronous Pulley Transmission Systems

If the synchronous pulley transmission system operates under excessive load for an extended period, it is likely to affect the belt's slackness. Additionally, prolonged use may cause poor belt engagement, impacting transmission accuracy. Therefore, after a period of use, it is necessary to readjust the tension. Generally, the tensioning devices for synchronous pulley transmission systems include periodic tensioning devices, automatic tensioning devices, and tensioning pulleys.
