           Adjust belt tension in ‘v’ belt drive

           Objectives : At the end of this exercise you shall be able to
           •   check belt tension using a spring balance
           •  adjust belt tension by tensioning bolts.

           Measure the longest span length of the belt between the pulleys, using a steel tape.

           Find the middle of the longest span of the belt between the pulleys.
           Push this mid-point inwards, then pull it out and note the total deflection. (Fig 1)
                This indicates the existing tension of the belt.
           Loosen the lock-nuts. (Fig 2)
