Pulley alignment

Good pulley alignment increases efficiency by reducing premature

wear or failure of pulleys, belts and bearings. Pulleys can be

aligned using the conventional string and straight-edge method

but this often time consuming and prone to error.

For the reflector version, PULLALIGN uses the tested, proven and

well known reflected single beam principle, to significantly help

reduce installation time, manpower and potential errors associ-

ated with pulley alignment and installation. With this principle,

the return beam angle is twice the angle of incidence and the

reflected beam travels twice the distance, hence enhancing

accuracy. Alignment is carried out to great accuracy, resulting in

labour savings and increased production uptime.

Before commencing any work ensure basic safety rules are

adhered to.

Warning

Loose clothing or long hair must never be allowed anywhere

near belt-driven machinery. All equipment must be locked out

and tagged out.

Before beginning any pulley alignment, causes of belt or pulley

failure must be examined and corrected to prevent recurrence.

Causes of failure could include poor drive maintenance (wrong

belt tension, poor pulley alignment), environmental factors

(sunlight, harsh temperature fluctuations), improper installation

(wrong belts/sheaves, belts forced onto grooves), or operating

factors (overload, shockload).

Perform a visual inspection of the belts and of each pulley and its

grooves. Look out and feel for cracks, chips, or excessive groove

wear. Proper contact between the belts and the pulleys must be

ensured.
