5.4 UHP Pump & Vacuum
Blower Drive Belts
The primary drive belts that connect the OMSI
Drive PTO to the UHP pump and vacuum blower
are special carbon fiber industrial belts that are
designed for high horsepower applications.
The ribbed drive belts are matched to grooved
pulleys and have very little stretch. Therefore,
they typically don’t need to be adjusted often
and proper belt tension is extremely important
when adjustment is required. The belts are strong
enough to cause severe damage to bearings,
shafts and other components if they are set too
tight. Additionally, if a belt is too loose, it can ride
on top of the grooves in the pulleys and become
too tight.
Make sure you follow the instructions and set the
tension to proper specifications when adjusting
the drive belts. Never overtighten them.
WARNING
OVERTIGHTENED DRIVE BELTS CAN CAUSE SEVERE
DAMAGE TO PULLEYS, SHAFTS AND BEARINGS IF THEY ARE
ADJUSTED TOO TIGHT OR MISALIGNED. ALWAYS MAKE
SURE THE BELTS ARE PROPERLY ALIGNED AND SET TO THE
MANUFACTURES SPECIFICATIONS WHEN THEY REQUIRE
ADJUSTMENT AND NEVER OVERTIGHTEN THE BELTS.
Drive Belt Inspection and Maintenance
Daily:
• The belts must be inspected before each shift
for damage, tension and alignment.
•
Check and grease drive pulley pillow block
bearings and idler pulleys.
Monthly/200 Maintenance:
• Check drive belt tension, pulleys and belt align
-
ment. Adjust or replace as required.
Checking Belt Tension
The proper way to check belt tension is to use a
tension tester. While a simple spring scale type
tester will do the job, the more sophisticated Sonic
Tension Meter is highly recommended.
