Belt Stretcher - Tension Pulley
The tension pulley is a follower wheel pressed on the belt used to change the wrap angle of the belt pulley or to control the tension of the belt. It is a kind of tension device for belt drive. When the center distance of the belt cannot be adjusted, the tension pulley can be used to tighten the belt.
Working principle
The tension pulley is a tension device for belt drive. When the center distance of the belt cannot be adjusted, the tension pulley can be used to tighten the belt. The tension pulley is a follower wheel pressed on the belt used to change the wrap angle of the belt pulley or to control the tension of the belt. It is a tension device for belt drive.
The belt pulley is driven by friction, so the belt must be tightened during installation. After working for a period of time, the belt will be stretched and loosened, cause skidding, so it must be retightened. If the center distance of the two drive pulleys cannot be adjusted, the tension pulley must be used to ensure normal transmission without skidding. The tension pulley uses springs or oil pressures to produce a force to tighten the belt so that the belt can be pressed on the working pulley at the right pressure.
