Appendix 4.0 Tensioning Tables
* Multiply table values by the number of Torque Team ribs to achieve recommended tensioning value.
1. The table delection forces and strand tensions are typically at
maximum values to cover the broad range of loads, RPM and pulley
combinations for all possible drives.
2. For drives where hub loads are critical, high speed drives or other drives
with special circumstances, the belt delection force and strand installation
tension should be calculated by using formulas found in existing Engineering
Manuals or use the MaximizerPro
™
Drive Selection Analysis Program.
3. Consult the TensionRite
®
Belt Frequency Meter manual for detailed
information on using the frequency based tension gauge.
4. Three dierent levels of Continental ContiTech tension gauges are oered
to aid you in properly tensioning your power transmission belts. See
your sales representative or your local authorized Power Transmission
distributor for more information on these tensioning gauges.
