INSTALLATION GUIDE
Torque Team ® V-Belt
INSPECT SHEAVES
The following sections outline installation procedures that
will ensure maximum life and performance for your Torque
Team® V-belts.
Check sheaves for cleanliness, damage, and wear whether
you are replacing an existing belt, performing routine
maintenance, or installing a new drive.
Use a stiff brush to remove rust and dirt. Use a soft cloth to wipe
off oil and grease. Select the proper sheave groove gauge and
template for the sheave diameter. Insert the gauge in the groove
and look for voids that indicate dishing or other uneven and
abnormal wear.
1 2 INSTALL HARDWARE
Always remember to select the correct sheave. Then, after you
make the correct selection, be sure to install the sheaves correctly.
Before performing any installation, follow correct lockout
procedures to prevent any accidents.
IMPORTANT: Disconnect power supply to machine before doing
ANY work.
QD® Bushing
If the sheaves are made with a QD® hub, follow these installation
and removal instructions.
HOW TO INSTALL A SHEAVE WITH A QD ® HUB
Insert the bushing in the hub and line up bolt holes.
Insert the pull-up bolts and turn until fnger tight.
Hold the loosely assembled unit so the bushing fange points
toward the shaft bearings. Reverse mounting the QD® bushing can
be advantageous for some applications.
Slip the unit onto the shaft and align the hub in the desired position.
Tighten the setscrew in the fange only enough to hold the assembly
in position.
Tighten each pull-up bolt alternately and evenly.
Recheck alignment and completely tighten the setscrew on
the shaft.
