6 MOTOR and V-BELT SETUP

6.1 Alignment of Motor

For this crusher, motor application limited to 6 pole motor only!
Align and adjust the centers of the Drive and Driven Sheaves (5091) on the Motor and the Cone
Crusher. When determining the center-to-center distance of the motor shaft to the Cone Crusher
Countershaft (5011), remember that the V-Belts elongate during operation of the Cone Crusher, and allow
provisions for installation and removal of the V-Belts. Provisions should also be provided to allow for
take-up of the elongated or stretched V-Belts. Keeping the V-Belts at the proper tension can prolong belt life.

6.2.1 Drive Installation

Check Condition of Sheaves---Before a new set of V-Belts is to be installed, check the condition of the
sheaves. Dirty or rusty sheaves impair the drive efficiency and wear the V-Belts, which results in premature
failure.

Worn sheaves can shorten V-Belt life as much as 50%. If the grooves are worn to where the V-Belts
bottom out, slippage may result and burn the V-Belts. If the sidewalls of the sheaves are “DISHED-OUT”,
the bottom shoulder destroys the V-Belts prematurely by wearing off the bottom corners.

Check Sheave Alignment---Sheave alignment should be checked by placing a straight edge or tight cord
across the sheave faces so that it touches all four points of contact. Normally, a misalignment of more than
