Mechanical Drives Training: Adjusting V-Belt Tension on a Motor Drive

In this video, Amatrol’s Industry Sales Manager, Mark Goodman, demonstrates on Amatrol’s 970-ME1 how to adjust belt tension using an adjustable mounting base after learners have worked through the eLearning lessons, “how to determine belt tension for an application” and “methods of adjusting belt tension.”

Amatrol’s Mechanical Drives 1 Learning System (970-ME1) covers mechanical drive installation, mechanical drive operation, motor drive alignment, and applications of various motor drive systems. Learners will practice hands-on skills like leveling an electric motor, calculating mechanical efficiency, installing a flexible jaw coupling, installing and removing a chain with a master link using a chain puller, and installing and aligning a sleeve coupling and shaft.
