Belt Tension Chart

SMCS - 1357

Table 1
Specification for the 7N-9693 Tension Chart
Item Qty Part Specification Description
The new belt tension chart has been standardized. The belt tension chart eliminates
confusion about the correct belt tension to use. Studies were completed with different
belt suppliers and the information that was gathered from the studies was developed
into a new belt tension for each belt size.
The chart does not apply to belts that use a spring loaded tensioner.
For more accurate results, a Clavis frequency gauge should be used in order to measure
the natural frequency of the belt. By the use of a formula, the natural frequency is
converted into the belt tension force. If the Clavis frequency gauge cannot be used, then
- - -
use the appropriate Kent-Moore belt tension gauge to measure the belt tension force.
When matched sets of belts are used, check the tension of all the belts in order to verify
that the lowest belt is in the acceptable tolerance range. Variations in tension between
the belts can vary by as much as 65 lbs.
In order to determine the tension of a "banded" belt, refer to the chart above. Multiply
the tension value of the belt by the number of belts that are banded together.Two 1/2
inch belts would require a used belt tension equal to twice the value of the used belt
tension for one 1/2 inch belt (2 X 80 = 160 lb).
