When do you remove the lock on a tensioner pulley?
Remove the lock only after the tensioner, pulley, or slipper, and timing belt or timing chain are installed and aligned. The next time you work with a drive belt, timing belt, or timing chain, you’ll likely have to loosen a tensioner pulley to remove it.
What’s the best way to loosen a NaI pulley?
To loosen an NAI tensioner, loosen the locking nut or bolt, then back off the tensioner screw. Push the pulley toward the other pulleys or accessories, loosening the belt. Spring tensioner pulleys, as the name implies, use a spring to hold tension on the belt.
How does a conveyor belt tensioner work?
A tensioner extends or retracts the conveyor pulley to adjust the tension on the conveyor belt. Mount to the sides of the conveyor and attach to the bearings that hold the pulley. Stainless steel tensioners are corrosion resistant. Note: Two tensioners and two bearings (sold separately) are required.
What are the different types of tensioner pulleys?
Tensioner pulleys generally fall into two categories: accessory-integrated (AI) and non-accessory-integrated (NAI). Think of AI tensioners as adjustable accessories, such as an alternator, and NAI tensioners as adjustable idler pulleys. There are three types of tensioner pulleys and several ways to loosen them.
