Noise Problem
Drives which are operating properly make little noise. But there are
following things to be noted.
Slapping may indicate the belt is striking a guard or some other
obstruction. Usually , it is possible to locate the trouble spot merely by
listening, Then drive stopped, adequate clearance can be provided
A squeal, or chirp, indicates belts are too loose. Stop the drive and
retention the belt.
Noise from failed bearings or a loose mechanism in the related
machinery may sound as though emanating from the drive. These noises
should be investigated and corrected.
Visual Evidence
Buildup of foreign material inside the guard :
This can cause excessive wear on belts and pulleys, or even create a “hot
Spot”. Guards should be inspected regularly to prevent this.
Excessive vibration :
This can result from a number of causes such as loose machine mounts,
imbalance in rotating parts, or an intermittent or improperly operating
power source. if the causes cannot be readily determined and corrected, it
is advisable to contact a belt and pulley supplier for technical assistance.

DO’S
•Check for correct pulley groove using profile gauge and proper positioning
of the belts.
•Shorten the centre distance of the drive until the belts can be put on pulleys
without forcing.
•Check drive alignment periodically and avoid uneven side wear of belts.
•Check pulley grooves for rust, dust and dirt periodically.
•Check belt tension frequently during first 24-48 hours of run-in
operation.(avoid over or under tension for proper power transmission)
•If it is necessary to change any belt in the drive, replace all belts with new
matched set to avoid uneven tension distribution by replacing.
•Proper ventilation for the drive should be provided to prevent high
temperature leading to bottom cracking, deterioration of rubber compound
and adhesion).
•Always keep FENNER spare belts to avoid last minute rush and settling for
inferior brands.
DON’T’S
•Never fit vee belts with levers. This action will damage the belt before it is
used.
•Never put less number of belts in your drive then it required.
•Never keep slack sides haphazardly on top or below.
•Avoid uneven and excessive tension in belt.
•Never use belt dressing. (This will pull the jacket off the belt in a very short
time).and don’t expose to direct sunlight.
•Never use idlers on back of a belt.
•Do not keep belt on floor or keep in a heavily bent or pied condition.
•Do not mix and use different makes in one drive.
•Avoid hot bearings and belt noise.(This is caused through worn grooves,
wrong bearings and belt slippage).
•Do not keep any source of heat close to belt drives
