Self-tensioning motor mount
Lovejoy presents RunRight self-tensioning motor mounts suitable for all friction belt drives.The mounts transmit power free of maintenance and slippage, while providing ample protection to the belt. It eliminates the need for compensating for belt elongation on a regular basis. Any extra tension on the belt is avoided as torque peaks are absorbed at start-up.
The mounts provide continuous compensation for stretching, hopping, fluttering, and any extra pull at start-up. This is possible due to preloaded suspension with high amount of self-damping. These features make the RunRight tensioning motorbase as the ultimate choice for belt drives used in motors.
For transmission of the necessary torque to the driven system, a key requirement of belt drives, especially V-belt drives featuring one or more belts, is optimum belt tension. In case the tension is not adjusted, a lot of power is lost during torque transmission.
As a result, all drives of this type require a device to ensure the motion position is adjusted or a belt tensioner for compensation of the the regular belt stretch. The belt stretch can be up to 4 to 5% of the actual length in case of V-belts.
