VSI Crusher Drive Belt Tensioning

VSI Crusher Drive Belt Tensioning Correct tensioning is the most important factor necessary for long, satisfactory drive belt operation. Too little tension will result in slippage, causing rapid belt and pulley wear, and poor efficiency. Too much tension results in excessive strain on belts, bearings (especially motor bearings), and shafts.   Measure Select the second…
