Crown is provided so that the belt should remain in the centre of pully rim. In the absence of crown the belt will slip sideways. - Deepak

What are wing pulleys?

Wing pulley is a type of conveyor tail pulley that has a flat bar welded to a gusset (like a T cross-section) then welded to a cylindrical drum. There's usually a crown on the T that goes the width of the pulley to maintain belt tracking, but flat wing pulleys are also available in the market.


What is the proper way to align a flat transition or conveyor belt?

to align a flat belt conveyor simply adjust the tail end pulley or the idler pulley, it is provided with adjuster bolt to adjust it in order to align the conveyor.


Are all belt and pulley grooves alike?

There are three basic types of pulleys and belts. Three very common types would be round, v-shaped, and flat. Each type of belt requires a matching pulley type. For example, a flat-type belt would require a compatible flat shaped pulley, where the surface of friction is smooth and flat. Most other belts are some variation of these three types. Any of these types of belts may be ribbed, toothed, or some hybrid of any of the above types.


What is the correct routing of the ribbed V belt that turns the alternator power steering pump and air conditioner pump from the crank pulley on a 406 HDi with is one idler roller and one tensioner?

Starting from the crankshaft pulley and going clockwise looking at the pulleys, the belt goes thus: Ribbed side against the crankshaft pulley, then flat side against the tensioner pulley, ribbed side around the power steering pulley. Then the flat side against the idler pulley running ribbed side around the alternator pulley then down to theair con pulley running ribbed side around that and back to the crankshaft pulley.


A better diagram of serpentine belt for belt routing than auto zone the belt around water pump is flat side against the pully shouldn't the ridged edge be against the pully instead?

Does the water pump pulley have grooves in it? If so, then the ridges should ride in those grooves. If the pulley is flat, the back side of the belt powers it. Here's a place to get diagrams: http://free-auto-repair-advice.blogspot.com/2007/12/serpentine-and-timing-belt-diagrams.html


Does a car have a pulley?

The engine usually has an idler and/or tensioning pulley as well as a few pulleys that use the power of a traveling serpentine belt to drive components such as the alternator, a/c pump, etc. Any of the pulleys that have one or more grooves that assist to guide the belt(s) are, technically, sheaves. Idler or tensioner pulleys that are completely flat because the flat back of the belt rides on them are not sheaves, but are pulleys.


Are CW and CCW water pumps marked externally?

Not that I'm aware of. If you have a v-belt type pulley on the water pump, it runs CW. If you have a flat face pulley on the water pump, it runs CCW.


Does anyone have a picture or diagram how to put on a deck belt on gdrm 48 greatdane mower?

The trick to putting on most v belts is to understand the pulleys. The flat surfaced pulleys will contact the back of the belt. The v pulleys will face the v on the belt. On a chariot jr., you put the belt around the drive pulley on the motor first (v facing the pulley). From the front of the mower facing the seat, the left side of the belt comes up/around to the v blade pulley to your left. Next the belt goes around the idler pulley just to the right. Then the center blade pulley. At this point the belt actually will go around the idler tension pulley (the pulley with the spring attached to it.). But, you have two options here. To put the v belt around the blade v pulley to the far right first. Or, around the idler tension pulley first. Now here's where it gets tough. You have to take a crow bar or other type bar and pull the idler tension pulley around far enough to get the belt over it. That should do it.


How do you route mower deck belt on a simplicity 4212?

goes around the engine pulley next both deck (blade pulleys) then put it around the tightener (blade engagement pulley) with the back Flat side of the belt against the pulley. make sure all the belt gaurds do not contact the belt with the blade engaged or dis-engaged. when you are installing the belt you will have to disconnect the deck lift rod to get the belt the other side of it or it will rub and ruin it. should be just a matter of pulling a cotter pin or push pin.


What happens if a serpentine belt is not squarely aligned in the pulley grooves?

Serpentine-type belts have a flat profile with a number of grooves running lengthwise along the belt. These grooves are the exact reverse of the grooves in the outer edge of the pulley wheels; they increase the contact surface area, as well as prevent the belt from slipping off the wheel as it rotates.


First year harley-davidson belt drive?

The first Harley belt drive was on the original motorcycle built in 1903. But it was a flat leather belt driving a pulley bolted to the rear wheel. The first modern toothed rubber drive belt was on the 1980 Harley's.


How do you loosen a tensioner that seems to be stuck in a 1990 Mazda B2200?

I will assume you are regarding the pulley for the power steering? If so to loosen it use a socket on the top of the pulley it should have a flat head style appearance.Loosen it clockwise and then the big nut on front of the pulley is a 7/8 inch combination wrench loosen it and the pulley should slide down to make the PS belt loose.This pulley is kind of weird but,by loosening the top bolt (metric) the bolt will come up as you take the tension off.Then YOU defenitely have to loosen the nut on the front of the pulley itself which alloys the pulley to move up or down.To adjust back with new belt on run the top bolt which is behind the pulley with the flat head cut in it run it down tight then tighten the nut on front of the pulley this locks the pulley in place so it will not move.Hope this helps.If this question is in reference to the tensioner for the timing belt resubmit your question.
