If the transmission belt is over-tensioned, it will act like a tight string and may break at any time. The harm to the transmission system cannot be underestimated. First, an over-tightened drive belt will significantly increase the load on the bearings. Under high-speed operation, this extra load is like a boulder pressing on top, causing accelerated wear of the bearings and shortening their service life. Over a long period of time, bearing wear will gradually accumulate, which may eventually cause serious failures and affect the stable operation of the entire transmission system. Then an over-tight transmission belt will also cause direct damage to the synchronous pulley. Under continuous tension, the edges of the synchronous pulley are prone to wear and even cracks. These cracks are like scars on the system, which not only affect the appearance, but may also break suddenly at some point, causing the transmission system to become paralyzed. In addition, an over-tight transmission belt will increase the consumption of driving power, causing the equipment to consume more energy during operation and reducing the overall efficiency.
As opposed to being too tight, a drive belt that is too loose will also bring a lot of trouble to the system. A drive belt that is too loose can easily slip during transmission. This slippage will not only lead to a significant decrease in transmission efficiency, but may also prevent the equipment from working properly and affect production progress. What's more serious is that the slipping transmission belt may produce huge impact force at high speed, causing damage to other parts of the transmission system. If the transmission belt is too loose, it will also reduce the transmission effect. In the absence of sufficient tension, the transmission belt cannot closely fit the driving wheel and the driven wheel, resulting in reduced transmission efficiency and increased energy consumption. This inefficient transmission method not only wastes energy, but may also accelerate the wear and aging of transmission components due to long-term operation.
On the other hand, a drive belt that is too loose can also cause noise and vibration problems. During the transmission process, the loose transmission belt will make a harsh whistling sound, accompanied by violent vibrations. This kind of noise and vibration not only affects the comfort of the working environment, but may also cause potential damage to other parts of the equipment. Over time, noise and vibration will gradually erode the overall performance of the equipment and shorten its service life.
Therefore, whether it is too tight or too loose, it will cause serious damage to the system. Therefore, in practical applications, great attention must be paid to the control of transmission belt tension. By regularly checking and adjusting the tension of the transmission belt to ensure that it is in optimal condition, the service life of the transmission system can be effectively extended and the operating efficiency and stability of the equipment can be improved. At the same time, we should also strengthen the daily maintenance and upkeep of the transmission system to discover and solve potential problems in a timely manner.
