Table 7: Data of pulley types
Changing the working diameter of a variable pulley:
1. Decrease the belt tension.
2. Open the over the disk circumference distributed screws (position see Figure 128)
3. Twist the outer ring (the outer rings for pulleys with 2 slots) to the desired diameter, ob-
serve the limits as per Figure 125 and Figure 126.
4. Fix the Allen screws.
5. Tighten the belts (refer to chapter 9.2.4 (Re-tensioning of belts)).

After a change of the transmission ratio, must be controlled in each case, the current con-
sumption of the motor. If the consumption is too high, the effective diameter has to be ad-
justed again. The nominal current shown on the nameplate must not be exceeded.
