Belt Testing Machine with Messung’s NX-ERA Xpress PLC Series
The belt center distance measurement is standard practice to measure the center distance of the flat belt and V belt. The belts are tested at a particular load in LBF at this load; the objective of the system is to find out the exact center distance and belt override of the belts.
Some constituents of the testing apparatus are:
- Pulleys – to stretch the belt and insert it
- Load Cell – to measure the load or belt tension
- Transducer – to calculate the belt override
- Servo system – to generate the desired load
- Magnetic Linear Scale – to measure the distance
APPLICATIONS WHERE BELT TESTING MACHINE IS USED :
ENGINE MANUFACTURER INDUSTRY
