(8) Timing belt tension
Fig.5-13 ： Belt tension
The timing belt can satisfactorily convey the drive and keep a durable force only when it has an adequate tension.
The belt tension should not be too tight or too loose. Instead, it should be adjusted to a degree that elasticity is
felt when the belt is pressed with the thumb. If the belt tension is too weak, the belt loosening side will vibrate. On
the other hand, if the belt tension is too strong, a sharp sound will be heard and the belt tension side will vibrate.
The detailed adjustment (tension) is shown in
.
Check and adjust with the belt pressing force f and the slack amount d between span s.
