When not in use, a conveyor belt should be stored in a clean, dry environment to prevent moisture and contamination that could lead to deterioration. It should be rolled up carefully to avoid creasing or damaging the belt's structure, and stored on a flat, stable surface or on a suitable rack to maintain its shape. Additionally, it should be protected from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, which can cause the materials to degrade.
As with any other rotational system in a belt drive during rotation, the belt is subjected to centrifugal force. Due to the centrifugal force the belt is thrown outward from the grooves of the pulley and causes additional tensioning of the belt. The effect of centrifugal tension is that it reduces the pretension of the belt and hence increases belt slip.
You're probably getting a little water on the belt. Check to see if there is a dust cover, mud guard or whatever it's called for your vehicle. Someone may have removed it over the years and now when you splash water it causes the belt to slip.
The belt of a Sears Kenmore Sewing Machine may break. You can replace the old belt with a new one.
The speed of the belt needs to be known (Feet Per Minute). You would take the weight of your sample in pounds * FPM of the Belt * 60min / 2000lbs = TPH. For example if your belt is moving 350 fpm and your belt cut weighed 10.5 lbs; 10.5lbs * 350 fpm * 60 / 2000 = 110.25 TPH
would the fan belt on a v8 motor cause squeaking
Belt is loose and slipping
fan belt needs tightened
cause they can
The belt is slipping.
Besides having the p/s fluid cause the belt to slip, the p/s fluid will eventually ruin the belt.
A belt that has jumped a tooth will cause the engine to be out of time. This will adversely effect performance and mileage. A broken belt will cause engine damage as this is an interference engine. Replace the belt every 80,000 miles at a minimum.
I do not believe they do. An overtightened timing belt will just be noisy. Kind of like a squeeky belt.
Improper belt tracking
Yes, having a belt too loose will cause a sepentine belt to squeal, check tension by lifting the belt upwards with your finger and continue tightening until you can only move the belt about a half inch either way. Too tight and the belt will have a much shorter life span.
A worn belt will cause a squealing noise. The squealing noise is caused when the belt slips. Tightening the belt will temporarily fix the problem.
