Too Low: Causes tooth jumping, inaccurate positioning, excessive wear on tooth tips, and abnormal noise (flapping). Correct Tension: Ensures smooth power transmission, precise synchronization, optimal belt life, and minimal noise. Too High: Increases bearing loads (potentially causing premature bearing failure), reduces bel...

Installation & Setup: Correct tension, proper alignment, and appropriate pulley selection are fundamental. Operational Loads: Operating near or above the belt's rated capacity, frequent shock loads, or severe start/stop cycles. Environmental Conditions: Exposure to excessive heat (85°C for standard neoprene), oils, chemical...

Precise Tension Control: Use a tension meter to set and maintain tension within the specified range. Consider automatic tensioners. Select High-Speed Belts: Use belts designed for high-speed operation, typically with smaller pitches (e.g., 3M, 5M) and low-mass, high-strength cord materials (e.g., aramid). Ensure Perfect Ali...

Insufficient Tension: The most common cause. Low tension allows the belt to ride out of the pulley grooves under load. Excessive Load/Shock Loads: Operating beyond the belt's designed power capacity or sudden impact loads can force teeth to skip. Worn or Damaged Pulleys: Pulleys with worn, chipped, or deformed teeth cannot ...
