Alignment of pulleys and belt drives, training, field technical service

Alignment of pulleys of a belt transmission can significantly reduce the energy consumption required for the operation of the mechanism and significantly increases its economic efficiency. If the pulley alignment made with the violations, bearing units affected by increased load, leading to overheating of the bearing units and rapid failure. In addition to also, fade and wear out quickly themselves belts.

Alignment of pulleys that work setting the geometry of the belt in which the belt drives belts must be located in a perpendicular plane relative to the axis of rotation pulley, eliminating the possibility of misalignment of the belts. Remember that if the mechanism with a belt or chain transmission broken geometrical dimensions pulley relative to the shaft, the dynamic balancing and alignment will not effective. BALTECH recommends that these distortions were not more 0.5 degrees.

There are three types of distortions pulleys: vertical angle - in which one of the pulleys is offset at an angle of vertical plane; horizontal angle - in which one of the pulleys offset angle in the horizontal plane and parallel - in which both pulley are located in two parallel planes. Proper pulley alignment excludes all three types of distortions belt transmission, thereby greatly increases efficiency (coefficient of performance), increases service life belts, significantly improved noise characteristics. Modern technology use two methods for laser pulley alignment and determine their position. The first way is that three points is set laser plane relative to the one end of the pulley and the estimated position of the second pulley relative to this plane. The main emitter must not be attached to the pulleys, as only in this case the error of the laser line is not matter. In all other schemes used in other manufacturers laser pulley alignment, we observed large absolute values error. This development is patented by the company BALTECH.

The second method laser alignment pulleys is that in streams of pulleys (or edges) are a special device capable of emitting a laser beam and the position rays is determined by the desired direction of movement of the pulleys.

Modern industrial the company uses both methods pulley alignment.
