INSTALLATION GUIDE
Synchronous Belt Tensioning Tables
1. The table defection forces and strand tensions are typically at maximum values to cover the broad range of loads, RPM and pulley combinations for all possible drives.
2. For drives where hub loads are critical, high speed drives or other drives with special circumstances, the belt defection force and strand installation tension should be
calculated by using formulas found in existing engineering manuals or use the MaximizerPro™ Drive Selection Analysis Program.
3. Consult the TensionRite® Belt Frequency Meter manual for detailed information on using the frequency based tension gauge.
4. Veyance Technologies, Inc. offers three different levels of tension gauges to aid you in properly tensioning your power transmission belts. See your Veyance Technologies
sales representative or your local Goodyear Engineered Products Authorized Distributor for more information on tensioning gauges.
