Standard and checking
Over half the tightening length S = 185 mm the toothed belt 1 must
bend under the test load FV = 50 N so that the loaded belt just touches
the other belt.

Reduced durability
–
Noisy running
Consequences of a too low toothed belt tension
–
No faultless mesh between belt teeth and disc toothing
