1. The table values are typically larger than necessary to cover the broad rpm range.
2. For drives where hub loads are critical and high speed drives or other drives with special
circumstances, the table values (deflection force, installation tension) should be calculated.
3. Consult the Web site for detailed information on using the frequency-based tension gauges.
4. Continental ContiTech offers three different tension gauges for properly tensioning
SilentSync,® Hawk Pd® or Blackhawk Pd® belts. See your Continental ContiTech Sales
Representative or your PTP industrial distributor for more information on the tension
gauges listed on this page.
