One has to tension belts and chains according to what torque is needed on an engine. The tension varies upon each engine. If one needs this done one should look into a mechanic.

How do you correctly tension belts?

To correctly tension belts, first identify the tensioning system on your equipment (e.g. spring-loaded tensioner, adjustable pulley). Then, follow the manufacturer's guidelines for the recommended tension setting. Use a tension gauge tool to measure and adjust the tension accurately to ensure proper operation and longevity of the belts.

Why does my belt sander keep breaking belts?

Your belt sander may be breaking belts due to several reasons, such as improper tension, misalignment of the belt, or using the wrong type of belt for the sander. It is important to ensure that the belt is properly installed and aligned, and that the tension is adjusted correctly to prevent breakage.

Which is more effective gears or belts?

You seem to be comparing apples and oranges here. They have different applications and for the most part are not interchangeable. However, comparing chains to belts, chains have typically lower energy loss, and require less tension than belts. However belts are often lighter, and can be designed to 'absorb' impact loads (like a hard hitting clutch locking, creating a sudden peak in force that would normally be transferred through the entire drive train, but instead can be 'absorbed' by the stretch of the belt and released over a longer time as a lower force). Belts also have lower lifespans.


What are the differences between belts and chains in terms of their performance and durability in mechanical systems?

Belts and chains are both used in mechanical systems to transfer power, but they have differences in performance and durability. Belts are quieter and smoother in operation, but they can slip under heavy loads. Chains are more durable and can handle higher loads, but they are noisier and require more maintenance. Overall, chains are more reliable for heavy-duty applications, while belts are better for lighter loads and smoother operation.


How is the camshaft driven by thr crankshaft?

Depends on the type of engine. Some use chains and others use belts. Chains can be noisy and belts can brake. The Suzuki Ignis uses a special Suzuki 'silent chain'.
