How to do a good job of checking the tightness of the diesel generator fan belt?

April 20, 2022
The diesel generator belt can be checked for tension by pressing the belt strip with the thumb, and the pressure is about 10KG. If the pressing amount of the belt is about 15mm, it can be judged that the belt tension is appropriate. If the pressing amount is too large, the belt tension will be insufficient, and the belt will slip easily. If the belt has almost no depression, the tightness of the nut or bolt should be adjusted at this time to make the belt at a suitable tension. If it is found that the belt is seriously aging, it must be replaced in time.
 
The correct adjustment of the fan belt of the diesel generator will have a certain impact on the normal operation of the generator set. So how to check the tightness of the fan belt of the diesel generator?
 
The method of checking the condition of the diesel generator belt is also very simple. First, we need to check the tension of the belt. You can press the belt with your thumb, and the pressure is about 10KG. If the pressing amount of the belt is about 15mm, you can judge the belt tension. The tension is right. If the pressing amount is too large, the tension of the belt is insufficient, and the belt is too loose. In this case, the belt is prone to slippage. If the belt has almost no depression, it is easy to cause damage to the generator and the water pump. At this time, the tightness of the nut or bolt should be adjusted to make the belt at a suitable tension. If it is found that the belt is seriously aging, it must be replaced in time.
