Belt

How does a belt tensioner work?

1. The function of the excavator belt tensioner
The excavator belt tensioner is an important part of the excavator transmission system. Its main function is to control the tension of the belt. When the excavator engine is started, the belt will transmit power to various excavation components. At this time, a belt tensioner is needed to ensure appropriate belt tension and prevent the belt from being loose or over-tightened, which will affect the excavation efficiency and even cause damage to the excavation components.
2. The working principle of the excavator belt tensioner
The excavator belt tensioner uses gravity tensioning or hydraulic tensioning to control the tension of the belt. The principle is that when the excavator is running, the belt tensioner always exerts a certain tension on the belt, and this tension will change with the operating conditions of the excavator, thereby ensuring that the tension of the belt is always within an appropriate range and ensuring that the excavator normal operation of the machine transmission system.
3. Maintenance of excavator belt tensioner
The excavator belt tensioner is a very important component in the excavator transmission system. Correct use and maintenance can effectively extend its service life. The following are some maintenance suggestions for the excavator belt tensioner:
1. Regularly check the tightness of the excavator belt tensioner and adjust it in time.
2. Clean and lubricate the excavator belt tensioner regularly to ensure that it can effectively reduce friction and wear during operation.
3. Pay attention to using parts with reliable quality and avoid using inferior parts and accessories.
4. Replace the excavator belt tensioner regularly according to the frequency of use and working conditions.
In short, the excavator belt tensioner plays a very important role in the excavator transmission system. Correct use and maintenance can improve the efficiency and extend the service life of the excavator transmission system and ensure the normal operation of the excavator.
