- Overtightened Belts
Excessively tight belts can lead to frequent belt damage and overheating of the rear bearing, potentially causing bearing failure. This is also a primary cause of vibrations. If the rotor vibrates, resonance phenomena may occur.
- Overloose Belts
Loose belts reduce friction, causing slippage and rotational losses. This results in insufficient power transmission, preventing the fan from operating effectively.
- Correct Installation Method: Press the middle section of one belt with your finger; the deflection depth should range between one and two belt thicknesses.
- Deflection Formula:
δ=0.016L\delta = 0.016Lδ=0.016LWhere LLL represents the center distance of the pulleys (in millimeters). Points A, B, C, and D of the belt should align with and remain parallel to the connecting lines.
- Belt Selection and Uniformity
- Always select V-belts of the same specification and batch. If there is any variation in length, ensure only belts of equal length are used.
- Avoid installing belts with varying tightness, as this can overload certain belts, leading to accelerated wear and damage.
- Mixing old and new belts is strictly prohibited.
Regardless of the type of V-belt used, confirm the pulley model and the number of grooves before installation to ensure proper fit and performance.
