14-5 POWER TRANSMISSION TO DRIVE MACHINES

14-5-1 BELT DRIVE

Note the following:

●

Use a V-belt rather than a fl at belt.

●

The drive shaft of the engine must be parallel to the drive shaft of the driven machine.

●

The drive pulley of the engine must be in line with the driven pulley of the machine.

●

Install the engine pulley as close to the engine as possible.

●

If possible, span the belt horizontally.

●

Disengage the load when starting the engine.

※

A belt tensioner or similar should be installed if no clutch is used.

14-5-2 FLEXIBLE COUPLING

When using a fl exible coupling, run-out and misalignment between the driven shaft and the engine shaft should
be minimized.

The permissible margin of run-out and misalignment is specifi ed by the fl exible coupling manufacturer.
