V-Belt Drive Advantages

V-belt drives provide many maintenance advantages that help
in your daily struggle to reduce equipment repairs and to hold
forced downtime to the lowest possible level.
1. They are ruggedthey will give years of trouble-free
performance when given just reasonable attention...even
under adverse conditions.
2. They are cleanrequire no lubrication.
3. They are efficientperforming with an average of 94-98%
efficiency.
4. They are smooth starting and running.
5. They cover extremely wide horsepower ranges.
6. They permit a wide range of driven speeds, using
standard electric motors.
7. They dampen vibration between driving and driven
machines.
8. They are quiet.
9. They act as a safety fuse in the power drive because
they refuse to transmit a severe overload of power, except
for a very brief time.
10. V-belts and sheaves wear graduallymaking preventive
corrective maintenance simple and easy.

Before we talk about Avoiding Problems and

Solving Problems lets take a brief look at how
V-belts are constructed.
There are basically two types of construction. One has a
fabric wrapper (or jacket) surrounding it; the other usually
rated higher in horsepower is made in a raw edged, cogged
construction.
GripBelt

Section 1
Preventive Maintenance and Installation of
V-Belt Drives
Read and follow all instructions carefully.
Disconnect and lock-out power before installation and maintenance.
Working on or near energized equipment can result in severe injury
or death.
Do not operate equipment without guards in place. Exposed
equipment can result in severe injury or death.

Periodic inspections should be performed. Failure to perform proper

maintenance can result in premature product failure and personal
injury.

You will notice reference key numbers (such as A-1) appear

throughout this section. These refer to a more detailed discussion
with illustrations relating to the subject in Section 2 (Corrective
Maintenance and Troubleshooting).

Section 1
Preventive Maintenance and Installation of
V-Belt Drives
1. Safety First
Before doing any maintenance work on power drives, be sure
the controlling switch is in the off positionand locked if
possible. Follow your plants safety rules.
2. Select Replacement Belts
B-1, B-2, B-3, B-4
After you have made any necessary corrections in your V-belt
drive elements, the next step is the selection of the correct
replacement belts.
When replacing sets of V-belts, here are some very important
reminders:
Never mix new and used belts on a drive.
Never mix belts from more than one manufacturer.
Always replace with the right type of V-belt.
Always observe V-belt matching limits.

3. Remove Belt Guard

A-1
Clean and inspect belt guard
thoroughly. After removing the drive
guard, loosen the drive take-up and
move the sheaves closer together to
facilitate the removal of any old belts,
and to ensure installation of the new
belts without damage.

Section 1
Preventive Maintenance and Installation of
V-Belt Drives
4. Inspect Drive Elements
A-1, A-6
This is a good time to service the
take-up rails by removing any rust,
debris, or dirt. Lubricate the bearings
as necessary so tensioning of the
new belts will go smoothly and easily.
This is also an excellent opportunity to
inspect and replace faulty or damaged
machine elements such as worn
bearings and bent shafts.
These maintenance procedures not
only reduce the likelihood of future
mechanical trouble, but also ensure
maximum service from the new belts.

10

Section 1
Preventive Maintenance and Installation of
V-Belt Drives
5. Inspect Sheaves
A-4, A-9
Sheave condition and alignment are vital to V-belt life and
performance. New V-belts should never be installed without
a careful and thorough inspection of the sheaves involved.
Particular attention should be given to these conditions.
Replace sheaves if worn:
a. Worn groove sidewalls
b. Shiny sheave groove bottom
c. Wobbling sheaves
d. Damaged sheaves
Sheaves should be carefully cleaned of any rust and foreign
material. A wire brush followed up by wiping with a shop cloth
will usually do the job.

Preventive Maintenance and Installation of

6. Check Sheave Alignment
A-3
One of the great advantages of V-belt drives is the fact that perfect
alignment of sheaves is not critical to the operation of the drive.
However, the better the alignment, the better the performance.
Refer to Section 2, A-3, for information on proper alignment
procedures and tolerances.
Note: Sheaves should always be mounted as close to the bearings
as practical to avoid excessive loads on bearings and shafts.

7. Installing New Belts

A-1
Place the new belts on the sheaves,
and be sure that the slack of each belt
is on the same side. You can do this
by pressing the belts with your hand
to bring the slack on one side of the
drive. Loosening the drive take-up in
advance makes this easy.

Do not force the belts on the sheaves

by using a pry bar or by rolling the
sheaves. Move sheaves apart until
the belts are seated in the grooves.
Tighten drive until slack is taken up.
(Tensioning suggestions follow in
Step 8).

12

Section 1
Preventive Maintenance and Installation of
V-Belt Drives
8. Apply Tension
A-7, A-8
All V-belt drives must operate
under proper tension to produce
the wedging action of the belt
against the groove sidewall. A wellestablished rule of thumb is that
the best tension for a V-belt drive
is the LEAST tension at which the
drive will not slip under peak load.
Browning recommends using a
belt tension checker to properly
tension belts.

9. Recheck Sheave Alignment

A-3
Anytime sheaves have moved, recheck sheave alignment.
Refer to Section 2, A-3, for information on proper alignment
procedures and tolerances.
10. Replace Guard
Start drive. (Look and listen) Check tension after 8, 24 and 100
hours and periodically thereafter.
11. Start Drive
A-7
Properly designed V-belt drives should not squeal under peak
load conditions. If necessary, stop the drive, then start it again.
If a squeal is heard, the belts should be tightened to the point
where they do not squeal under peak load. Newly installed belts
require about 24 hours to become fully seated in the groove.
Re-tension after 3 minutes, 8 hours, 24 hours, 100 hours, and
periodically thereafter.

Corrective Maintenance and
Troubleshooting of V-Belt Drives
Read and follow all instructions carefully.
Disconnect and lock-out power before installation and maintenance.
Working on or near energized equipment can result in severe injury
or death.
Do not operate equipment without guards in place. Exposed
equipment can result in severe injury or death.

Periodic inspections should be performed. Failure to perform proper

maintenance can result in premature product failure and personal
injury.

The first section of this HVAC Pocket Reference Guide outlined a

step-by-step procedure for the installation of replacement V-belts
to help you prevent V-belt maintenance problems.
The reason behind these steps is also fundamental in the daily
inspection and maintenance of V-belt drives. Watching and
listening will alert you to warning signs of trouble, since one of
the greatest advantages of V-belt drives is the fact that belts and
sheaves wear gradually. You can spot potential problems in time
to arrange short, scheduled maintenance downtime instead of
experiencing a longer, costly interruption of production when
unexpected trouble occurs.
You can compare V-belts to an electrical fuse their unexpected
failure is usually a signal that something else in the system
is wrong. Even their patterns of gradual wear often indicate
conditions needing corrections or improvements.

Troubleshooting Installation Problems
Read and follow all instructions carefully.
Disconnect and lock-out power before installation and maintenance.
Working on or near energized equipment can result in severe injury
or death.
Do not operate equipment without guards in place. Exposed
equipment can result in severe injury or death.

Periodic inspections should be performed. Failure to perform proper

maintenance can result in premature product failure and personal
injury.

As pointed out in Section 1 of this manual, preventive maintenance

by using proper installation techniques is important for long,
trouble-free V-belt service.
Occasionally, however, you will find it necessary to correct
problems caused by improper installation. This section deals with
these problems and troubleshooting procedures.

18

Section 2A
Troubleshooting Installation Problems
A-1 Prying or forcing

V-belts onto the sheaves

can, and usually does, break
some of the load-carrying
tensile cords (see illustration
on page 10, Section A-1).
When this happens, the belt
may either break or turn
over in the groove, usually
within the first few minutes
of operation. This method of
installation may be evidenced
by a rupture or split in the
wrapped cover of the belt,
caused by the prying tool
or sheave edge.
Broken cords are
easily identifiable
on raw-edge V-belts
because it is usually
the edge cords that
break first.

Misplaced slack can also

cause belt breakage, again
usually on startup. This occurs
on multiple-belt drives when all
of the belt slack is not brought
to the same side of the drive
before tensioning. If some
belts are tight on one side,
and others are tight on the
other side, the heavy shock
load of starting will be borne
by only some of the belts, thus
weakening or breaking the
load-carrying cords.

Ruptured Cover

A-2 Belts rubbing against

the metal guard or other

obstruction will be evidenced
by cut or worn fabric on the
back or upper edge of the
V-belt. Often just replacing
missing bolts in guard brackets
will remedy this situation.

Fabric Worn on
Backside

19

Section 2A
Troubleshooting Installation Problems
A-3 Misaligned sheaves
can cause rapid wear of the V-belt
sidewalls, considerably shortening
service life of both belts and
sheaves. Misalignment can also
cause separation of the tie-band
on banded belts, or apparent
mismatching of individual belts. V-belt
sheave alignment should be within a
tolerance of 1/2 on notched belts
and 2 on wrapped belts.
The three basic types of sheave and
shaft misalignment are shown below.
Suggested methods for checking and
correcting each type are found on
page 19.

Sidewall Wear

Note: All three types may be present

at the same time. Alignment should
be checked and corrected in the order
given.

Horizontal

Vertical

Parallel

Section 2A
Troubleshooting Installation Problems
1. Horizontal Angular (shafts in same horizontal plane but not
parallel)
To Check: Use straightedge or string near sheave centers.
To Correct: Loosen motor mounting bolts and rotate motor
until all four points touch straightedge.

2. Vertical Angular (shafts not in the same plane and not

parallel)
To Check: Place straightedge about 1/4 radius from the
outside diameter of both sheaves as shown. Repeat on
opposite side of shaft 2. Straightedge should touch four
points indicated in each position.
To Correct: Use shims under motor base in front or rear of
motor, depending on type of correction required.

3. Parallel (shafts are parallel; sheaves not in line)

To Check: Use straightedge or string near sheave centers.
To Correct: Loosen sheave so it slides easily on shaft
until all four points touch straightedge. Retighten sheave in
position. Important: Sheave should be mounted as close
to bearing as possible to reduce overhung load on bearing.
Relocate equipment if necessary.

21

Section 2A
Troubleshooting Installation Problems
A-4 Worn or damaged sheaves are an even greater cause of
rapid belt wear, slippage and vibration. Badly worn sheaves can
cause over-tensioning of the drive to prevent slippage, indirectly
causing over-heated bearings and shaft damage. If pieces of the
sheave flange are missing, it will result in badly worn sidewalls of
the belt, and the resulting sheave imbalance can damage bearings
and create a safety hazard. When only some of the grooves are
worn more than others, the effect is that the belts appear to be
mismatched. It also causes differential driving, where only some
of the belts are carrying the entire load of the drive.
In the case of banded belts, worn grooves cause the belts to ride
too low in the grooves, thus causing the tie-band to wear against
the sheave flanges between the grooves. In severe cases, this
can have the same effect as a circular blade, cutting the band
and separating the belts.
Sheave templates are available from your distributor, which can
be used to check grooves accurately for wear. A flashlight held
behind the template when placed in the groove will help you to
observe the amount of wear. Dishing should not exceed 1/32"
Worn Sidewalls

for individual sheave sidewalls. A shiny groove bottom is a sign
that the belt or sheave, or both are badly worn and the belt is
bottoming in the groove. Worn sheaves or shiny sheave groove
bottoms will show up first on the smaller sheave.
The cost of replacing a worn sheave will be more than recovered
in longer V-belt life, reduced maintenance and downtime.

A-5 Sheaves mounted too far from the bearing cause

excessive overhung load on the bearing and overheating. This
can also cause shafting to whip, bend or break. Sheaves should
be mounted as close as possible to the bearing. If this affects
alignment severely, it may be necessary to relocate the equipment
to stay within alignment limits of 1/16" per 12" of shaft center-tocenter distance.

A-6 Bearing condition and normal wear may well be the cause
of overheating, rather than belt tension. They should be inspected
for proper lubrication and wear according to the specifications of
the bearing or equipment manufacturer. Shaft condition should
also be checked and replaced if necessary, as bent shafts can
be detrimental to bearings, belts and sheaves, as well as being
a safety hazard due to the imbalance created. Sheave wobble
may be caused by bent shafts.

A-7 Insufficient belt tension it's the leading cause of V-belt

slippage and premature belt failure. This is often evidenced by
spin burn. The easiest and most practical way for maintenance
personnel to judge proper belt tension is by use of a Browning
belt tension checker.

Spin Burn

23

Section 2A
Troubleshooting Installation Problems
A-8 Excessive tension on V-belts can be even more
detrimental than too little tension, affecting not only the belts,
but also bearings and shafts. Again, the best rule is to apply
only enough tension on the belts to keep them from slipping
during startup or peak loading. Some indicators of excessive
tensioning (but not always) are:
Repeated belt breakage
Excessive vibration

Overheated bearings
Whipping or bent shafts

A-9 Improper sheave and bushing installation can

result in sheave wobble as well as causing sheave hubs to
crack. When installing split-tapered bushings always follow
manufacturers instructions.
It is important to never lubricate the tapered surfaces before
installing. The lubrication will permit recommended torque
wrench values to increase the actual force on the bushing and
hub. This usually results in cracking of the hub at the bolt hole
or keyway.
On flanged bushing types, proper installation should result in a
gap between the bushing flange and the hub face. The absence
of a gap may indicate a problem. When removing split-tapered
bushings, start at the jack-screw hole opposite the split to avoid
cracking the bushing.

Cracked Bushing
24

Section 2B
Troubleshooting Selection Problems
Read and follow all instructions carefully.
Disconnect and lock-out power before installation and maintenance.
Working on or near energized equipment can result in severe injury
or death.
Do not operate equipment without guards in place. Exposed
equipment can result in severe injury or death.

Periodic inspections should be performed. Failure to perform proper

maintenance can result in premature product failure and personal
injury.

The array of V-belt types, cross-sections and lengths on the market

today are all part of technological efforts to provide more efficient,
cost-saving answers to your drive requirements.
This category is intended to point out how you can be sure of
applying the best V-belt type to your applications.

25

Section 2B
Troubleshooting Selection Problems
B-1 Worn V-belts may have gotten that way simply because
they have delivered the service life built into them. Browning,
strives to design V-belts with a balanced construction, so
each element of the belt will last as long as all other elements.
But the wide variety of industrial applications, environmental
conditions and maintenance practices makes this impossible to
achieve. However, the expected life of an industrial V-belt on a
properly designed and maintained drive is three to five years.

B-2 Using the wrong V-belt cross-section or type can create

problems for you...and its not hard to do, since many belts have
similar dimensions. For example, the following V-belts have
approximately the same top width (5/8") and length (85" outside
circumference).
And yet, the horsepower ratings of these belts range from as
little as 2.2 HP per belt to as much as 11.9 HP per belt on a 5"
diameter sheave and a 1750 RPM motor!

26

Section 2B
Troubleshooting Selection Problems
B-3 Mismatched belts or mixed brands from different

manufacturers should not be matched together, and will not

deliver the expected service life.
Although all manufacturers use similar belt numbering systems,
different brands with the same number will differ slightly in
dimensions and are not capable of being mixed in a set. Also,
construction differences cause them to ride differently in the
grooves, and to stretch differently.
It should be noted that the majority of complaints regarding belt
matching are due to other causes, such as misalignment and
sheave wear. These factors should always be checked if belts
seem to be mismatched.

B-4 Machine-induced vibration or shock loads frequently can

cause V-belts to whip or even jump off the drive, creating a safety
hazard, and of course, damaging the belts.
On multiple-belt drives, this whipping can be reduced or eliminated
by using banded V-belts. A banded V-belt consists of from two to
five individual V-belts joined together with a bonded, reinforced
tie-band (see illustration).
These belts ride slightly higher in the sheave grooves to provide
clearance between the band and the sheave flange. Because of
this, sheave grooves should not be worn or dished-out more than
1/64". Also, because the belts are banded together, alignment of
the sheaves is more
critical.
(The chart on the
next page will be
helpful in selecting
the best belt for an
application.)

C-1 Improper or prolonged storage can reduce service
life considerably. V-belts should be stored in a cool, dry place
with no direct sunlight. On shelves, in boxes or piles, the stack
should be small enough to avoid excess weight and distortion
on the bottom belts. On pegs, the longer belts should be coiled
in loops of suitable size to prevent distortion from the weight of
the belt.
The following guide provided by the RMA should be followed for
optimum conditions:

*One coiling results in three loops; two coilings result in five loops, etc.
**AA and BB are know as double angle or hexagonal V-belts.

The pegs should be crescent shaped in cross-section to avoid

compression set dents in the belts from sharp corners and
the pegs should be sufficiently large in cross-section to avoid
compression setting to sharp bends resulting from the weight of
the hanging belts.
It is recognized that belts are sometimes coiled in smaller loops
than indicated in the above table, for packaging for shipment,
but such packaging should not be for prolonged storage.
30

Section 2C
Troubleshooting Environmental Problems
C-2 Excessive heat. Standard construction V-belts are
compounded for moderate heat resistance and should give
adequate service under normal conditions.

Belt temperature (not ambient or surrounding air temperature) is

the determining factor when heat is a suspected cause of short
belt life.
As a general rule service life of a V-belt is cut in half for every
35F raise in belt temperature above 85F.
Evidence of heat may be the appearance of small cracks on the
underside of the belt.
What to do about excessive heat:
1. Check for slippage (see key number A-7)
2. Ventilate the drive or shield from heat source
3. Check to make sure the proper belt size is installed
4. Check the horsepower capacity of the drive

C-3 Excessive oil

Heat Cracks

or grease. Standard
construction V-belts
are compounded for moderate grease and oil resistance.
However, an excessive amount can cause softening, swelling
and deterioration of the rubber compounds, as well as slippage.
What to do about oil or grease:
1. When there is occasional exposure from spillage or leakage,
the belts and sheave grooves should be cleaned with a
mixture of detergent and waterafter the drive has been
turned off and locked out and the cause of the leakage
corrected.
2. When belts cannot be protected from oil, specially
compounded oil-resistant V-belts should be used.

31

Section 2C
Troubleshooting Environmental Problems
C-4 Never apply so-called belt
dressings to V-belts. These
compounds are usually made from
a petroleum derivative and can
have a destructive effect on rubber
compounds and other components
of the belt. If belts slip, check for
adequate tension and/or worn sheave
grooves (see A-4, A-7).

C-5 Abrasive conditions from

sand, dust or grit can accelerate
wear of both belts and sheaves. This
is especially true when slippage is
present. Belt selection can be an
important factor. Experience has
shown that raw-edge constructions
Abrasive Wear
reduce this wear because they reduce
the sandpaper-effect caused by
slippage. Drive should be well-shielded against excessive
abrasive particles as much as possible.

C-6 Foreign objects, such as wood chips, can create havoc

with V-belt drives. Belt breakage and turnover are the most
common symptoms. Shielding the drive is a necessity. Belt
guards with expanded metalscreening are often used, but
ventilation is sometimes sacrificed,
possibly requiring
additional induced
cooling. Banding
belts are often
effective, since they
eliminate belt turnover.

C-7 Excessive moisture can penetrate the fabric covering of

a V-belt, causing deterioration. In addition, a large amount of
water can reduce friction and cause slippage. Belt drives should
be protected as much as possible when used outside or when
subject to spray from washdown hoses, etc. Belt tension should
be inspected regularly.
32

Section 2D
Troubleshooting Design Problems
Read and follow all instructions carefully.
Disconnect and lock-out power before installation and maintenance.
Working on or near energized equipment can result in severe injury
or death.
Do not operate equipment without guards in place. Exposed
equipment can result in severe injury or death.

Periodic inspections should be performed. Failure to perform proper

maintenance can result in premature product failure and personal
injury.

When normal corrective measures, as presented in the previous

sections, do not seem to produce the desired results, an inherent
design problem may be the culprit. The solutions to these are best
left up to the Browning Application Engineering Department or
a Certified Drive Specialist. However, the discussion presented
in this section will help identify symptoms caused by design
problems.

33

Section 2D
Troubleshooting Design Problems
D-1 Underbelting a drive, (using fewer belts than
recommended by good design practice) results in excessive
tension in each belt on the drive.
This is commonly evidenced by excessive stretching which
requires frequent take-ups to prevent slippage. Another warning
sign can be repeated belt breakage.
In many cases, underbelting can be corrected simply by using
raw edge, cogged V-belts which have a higher horsepower
rating. When these are used, drives should be identified to
assure that future replacements are made with this type of belt.
(Drive labels are available for this purpose.)

D-2 Drive overbelting, while usually

resulting in longer V-belt life, can be
just as serious as underbelting. The
symptoms most commonly found
are overheated bearings and bent
shafts. This is especially true if belt
tensioning devices are used without
regard to design factors.
These devices, called tensioncheckers, are quite helpful in
determinimg proper belt tension, but
tension values taken from published
tables do not apply to all drives. Therefore, when these devices
are used the deflection force values should be calculated,
rather than taken from such tables. Contact Browning
Application Engineering, 800-626-2093, for proper tensioning
values.
Tensioning devices measure the individual belt tensions; so,
when too many belts are on the drive, the total tension can be
excessive when table values are used. On the other hand,
when too few belts are on the drive, tension values from these
tables may be inadequate.
Most design handbooks contain the formulas and procedures
for making these simple calculations.
Another not-so-common symptom is belt vibration, resulting
from tension harmonics. Since induced vibration can be
caused by several factors, this should be referred to Browning
Application Engineering.
34

Section 2D
Troubleshooting Design Problems
D-3 When sheaves are too small for the belt cross-section, the
belt flexes beyond its normal limits. This is usually evidenced by
cracks on the underside of the belt. Table A indicates the minimum
recommended sheave diameter for flexing each belt cross-section.
In most cases, use of a raw-edge cogged belt will improve service
life greatly, due to its greater flexibility.

Another problem caused by sheaves that are too small is

overheating of motor bearings, or even bent shafts. NEMA
publishes minimum recommended sheave diameters for use with
electric motors to avoid excessive bearing loads. Table B shows
these minimums for the most common motor types.

D-4 Insufficient wrap on the small sheave can require

excessive belt tension to prevent slippage. This condition may
require redesign, either using more belts, increasing the center
distance or using a backside idler with longer belts. This is again
a matter for Browning Application Engineering.

Troubleshooting Design Problems
D-5 Backside idlers can create problems because they cause
V-belts to bend opposite to the way they were designed. Care
must be taken to see that a backside idler is large enough in
diameter to reduce harmful stresses, which often cause cracks
on the underside of the belt. Table A (under D-3) also shows
these minimum recommended diameters.

37

Section 2E
Design and Installation Suggestions
Browning Gripbelt "V" Drives are primarily intended for the
transmission of power with relatively high speed driving units.Their
acceptance by industry covers a broad field of applications including
installations on a wide variety of different types of equipment,
including speed increasing drives, V-flat drives, quarter-turn drives,
multiple shaft drives and conveyors. Many such applications are
regularly being designed and installed using stock parts.
Regardless of whether drives consist of stock or special items there
are certain primary conditions to consider with respect to the design
of satisfactory drives. Those most commonly encountered are:
1.

Drives should always be installed with provision for center

distance adjustment.This is essential, because an adjustment
is necessary after the belt has set and seated properly in the
groove of the sheave. If centers must be fixed, idlers should
be used.

2.

If possible, centers should not exceed 3 times the sum of

the sheave diameters nor be less than the diameter of the
large sheave.

3.

If possible, the arc of contact of the belt on the smaller sheave

should not be less than 120.

4.

Belt speeds with cast iron sheaves cannot exceed 6500 feet
per minute. Another type of drive is usually more desirable
for speeds under 1000 feet per minute.

5.

Special or dynamic balance may need consideration for belts

speeds exceeding 5000 feet per minute.

6.

Full consideration and allowance for overload capacity in

drives increases belt life and improves operation. Study the
Overload Service Factors in this section carefully.

7.

Severe temperature can have a major effect on belt life.

There should be a full and free circulation of air around the
drive. All drives operating in explosive atmospheres should
be well grounded and use static conducting belts.

Watch these points particularly when installing drives:

38

Section 2E
Design and Installation Suggestions
1.

Be sure that shafts are parallel and sheaves are in proper

alignment. Check after eight hours of operation.

2.

Do not drive sheaves on or off shafts. Be sure shaft and

keyway are smooth and that bore and key are of correct
size. Remove burrs by dressing lightly with finishing file. Wipe
shaft, key and bore clean with oil. Tighten screws carefully.
Recheck and re-tighten after eight hours of operation.

3.

Belts should never be forced over sheaves. More belts are

broken from this cause than from actual failure in service.
See Table No. 1 and 1A on page 38 and 39.

4.

In mounting belts, be sure that the slack in each and every

belt is on the same side of the drive. This should be the slack
side of the drive.

5.

Belt tension should be reasonable. When in operation the

tight side of belts should be in a straight line from sheave
to sheave and with a slight bow on the slack side. Check
belt tension after eight hours of operation. All drives should
be inspected periodically to be sure belts are under proper
tension and not slipping.

For more detailed tensioning instructions and an inexpensive

tension checker, see page 54.
6.

Do not install new sets of belts in drives where the sheaves

have worn grooves. Such sheaves should be replaced with
new sheaves to insure a proper fit of the belts in the grooves,
thus elimination possibility of premature belt failure.

7.

Keep belts clean. Do not use belt dressing.

8.

When making replacement of belts on a drive, be sure to

replace the entire set with a new set of matched belts. Failure
to do this will probably result in premature breakage of new
(and probably shorter) belts mixed with old ones.

9.

Keep extra belts stored in a cool, dark, dry place.

Caution Install guards according to local and national

codes.

Gripbelt Drive Engineering Data

Section 2F
Gripbelt Drive Engineering Data
Overload Service Factors
Load and operating characteristics of both the driving and driven
units must be considered thoroughly in the selection of Browning
Gripbelt Drives. It is essential that all drives be designed for
maximum load conditions to be encountered.
Most drives will at some time be overloaded, perhaps only
momentarily. It is good practice to have predetermined drive
capacity to handle this overload.This predetermined drive capacity
helps protect against breakdowns due to premature belt failure.
The use of an extra belt will pay for itself many times over by
increasing the life of all the belts more than the proportionate
cost of the extra belt.
For good design and satisfactory drive life all drives must be selected
with careful consideration to two fundamental conditions:
1. The motor must have greater capacity than the driven unit.
2. The drive must have greater capacity than the motor.
A careful consideration of Overload Service Factors for various
types of driven units, drivers, type of starting, frequency of
maintenance and other drive conditions is extremely important
for satisfactory performance and life.
The following tables on page 45 are suggested Overload Service
Factors for various typical driven units.

CAUTION

Drives requiring high Overload Service Factors, such as crushing machinery, certain
reciprocating compressors, etc. subjected to heavy shock load without suitable fly
wheels, may need heavy duty web type sheaves rather than standard arm type. For
any such application, consult Application Engineering.

A minimum Service Factor of 2.0 is suggested for equipment subject to chocking.

Service factor should be increased by 0.2 on drive units with a increaser drive speed of 2200
RPM or lower when using a 1750 RPM motor. This is a speed-up ratio of 1.25 or less. For
speed increaser drives or speed-up drives greater than 2200 RPM, the recommendation is
to use a 2.0 service factor.

Section 2F
Gripbelt Drive Engineering Data
Datum System
In December, 1987, RMA/MPTA adopted Standard IP20-1988.
This standard supersedes IP20-1977 and affected the A, B, C,
and D belts and sheaves. Those products in this catalog are
in accordance with IP20-1988 which incorporates the Datum
Diameter System.
The Datum System specifies the Datum Diameter as the effective
diameter for determining the pitch length of the belt for center
distance calculation. In this catalog, Datum Diameter (D.D.) is
now listed for the A, B, C, and D sheaves and is equal to the old
Pitch Diameter (P.D.) shown in previous catalogs.

Belt Velocity
Belt velocity is not needed for calculation of drives, as the
horsepower ratings shown are based on the R.P.M. of the sheave.
If belt velocity is desired for any reason, use the formula:
Belt Velocity in Feet per Minute (FPM) =
D.D. or P.D. of Sheave .2618 Speed of Sheave (RPM)
Cast Iron Sheaves must not be used beyond 6500 FPM belt speed.
Since the majority of stock sheaves are made of cast iron, we list
no ratings above 6500 FPM.
Some types of belts lose ratings before they reach 6500 FPM
and other types continue to increase beyond 6500 FPM. The
Basic Rating Tables and the Drive Selection Tables reflect these
variations.
Special Balance
Functionally, speeds up to 6500 FPM are acceptable; however,
on applications where vibration requirements are critical, special
balancing (usually dynamic) for speeds above 5000 FPM may
be considered. Factors to be considered for special balance
requirements are: rigidity of drive mounting, whether noise
created by a level of vibration would be prohibitive, etc. Many
drives are in service running at speeds up to 6500 FPM without
special balancing.

48

Section 2F
Gripbelt Drive Engineering Data

Center Distance and Belt Length

Interpolation
For every inch of belt length difference there is approximately
1/2 inch center distance change. All belt numbers reflect a
relation if it is pitch length, outside length or inside length. An
A26 belt is 2" longer than an A24 belt; a B105 belt is 15" longer
than a B90 belt; a 3V335 belt is 8.5" longer than a 3V250 belt,
etc.
Interpolation example:
If an A128 belt gives 50.0" C.D. and an A96 gives 34.0 C.D. , then
an A112 belt gives 42.0 C.D.
If a 5V1200 belt gives 83.1" C.D. and a 5V1600 gives 63.1 C.D.,
then a 5V1800 belt gives 73.1 C.D.
Center distance and belt lengths determined by interpolation are
usually close enough as all drives should provide for take-up as
indicated on pages 38 and 39. If closer calculation is necessary
for any reason use the following formula:

(D d)2

L = 2C + 1.57 (D + d) +

4C
where:

L = Pitch Length of Belt

C = Center Distance

D = Datum or Pitch Diameter of Large Sheave

d = Datum or Pitch Diameter of Small Sheave

49

Section 2F
Gripbelt Drive Engineering Data
Driven Speed Variations
All V-Belt Drives will vary slightly from the speeds shown in the
Drive Selection Tables. These variations are due to different motor
speeds depending on load, changing frequencies (on A.C. Motors)
or voltage (on D.C. Motors), varying tensions and resulting slip,
and allowable manufacturing tolerances in belts and sheaves.
Also, actual sheave pitch diameters and actual belt pitch lines
have been changed slightly over the years by all manufactures
but catalog data has not been changed to reflect this.
In the few instances where very close speed tolerances are
required, contact Application Engineering for assistance or use
the Browning EDGE Selection Program.

Speed-Up, Quarter-Turn, and V-Flat Drives

These drives occur infrequently and should be referred to Browning
for special design considerations.

Tensioning B-Belt Drives
General rules of tensioning.

1. Ideal tension is the lowest tension at which the belt will not
slip under peak load conditions.
2. Check tension frequently during the first 24 - 48 hours of
operation.
3. Over tensioning shortens belt and bearing life.
4. Keep belts free from foreign material which may cause slip.
5. Make V-drive inspection on a periodic basis. Tension when
slipping. Never apply belt dressing as this will damage the
belt and cause early failure.

Gripbelt Drive Engineering Data
Tension Measurement Procedure
1. Measure the belt span (see illustration below).
2. Position bottom of the large o-ring on the span scale at the
measured belt span.
3. Set the small o-ring on the deflection force scale to zero.
4. Place the tension checker squarely on one belt at the center of
the belt span. Apply a force on the plunger and perpendicular
to the belt span until the bottom of the large o-ring is even with
the top of the next belt or with the bottom of a straight edge
laid across the sheaves.
5. Remove the tension checker and read the force applied from
the bottom of the small o-ring on the deflection force scale.
6. Compare the force you have applied with the values given
in Table No. 2 on page 56. The force should be between the
minimum and maximum shown. The maximum value is shown
for "New Belt" and new belts should be tensioned at this
value to allow for expected tension loss. Used belts should be
maintained at the minimum value as indicated in Table No.2
on page 56.
Note: The ratio of deflection to belt span is 1:64.

BELT SPAN

The above method of tensioning belt drives is to be used when a drive has been
selected in accordance with the suggestions listed in the drive selection tables of
the HVAC catalog. For drives with service factor greater than 1.5, consult Application
Engineering. For exact tension calculations use the Emerson Industrial Automations
EDGE Selection Program.

V-Belt Drive
Advantages
V-belt drives provide many maintenance
advantages that help in your daily struggle to
reduce equipment repairs and to hold forced
downtime to the lowest possible level.
1. They are ruggedthey will give years of trouble-free
performance when given just reasonable attention...
even under adverse conditions.
2. They are cleanrequire no lubrication.
3. They are efficientperforming with an average of
94-98% efficiency.
4. They are smooth starting and running.
5. They cover extremely wide horsepower ranges.
6. They permit a wide range of driven speeds, using
standard electric motors.
7. They dampen vibration between driving and driven
machines.
8. They are quiet.
9. They act as a safety fuse in the power drive because
they refuse to transmit a severe overload of power,
except for a very brief time.
10. V-belts and sheaves wear graduallymaking
preventive corrective maintenance simple and easy.

Air Handling Bearing Solutions

Air Handling AH Option
The Browning Air Handling mounted ball bearing has the same features
as the standard Browning mounted ball bearing except for the following
air handling features.

AH Housing Fit
Air Handling AH ball bearings are
manufactured with a controlled housing
fit that allows the bearing to properly selfalign when mounted on lightweight frames
commonly found on air handling equipment.

Noise Test
All Air Handling AH bearings must pass a
two stage noise testing verification for quiet
operation to meet the noise level standards

Air Handling Bearing Solutions

Zone Hardening Inner Race
Browning incorporates a unique heat treat
process that hardens the inner race only
where it is needed...under the ball path.
The zone hardened inner race results in
improved lock reliability as a result of less
distortion at setscrew location and improved
thread conformity resulting in improved
clamping and resistance to setscrew
back-out.

Semi-Solid Cast Iron Base

The rugged base design provides an
excellent mounting foundation. This is
integral to prevent sheet metal buckling

Anti-Rotation Rivet
An anti-rotation rivet prevents outer ring
creep, or rotation, within the housing.

Misalignment
The bearing assembly is designed for
1 1/2 of static misalignment between the
bearing O.D. and housing bore.

BOA Concentric
BOA is a concentr ic locking collar
clamp design that results in near-perfect
concentricity of the shaft to the bearing
bore and maintains near perfect ball path
roundness, while reducing fretting corrosion.
This design eliminates the shaft damage of
setscrew locking, and minimizes bearing
induced vibration for smoother quieter
operation. The collar has a TORX head cap
screw that outlasts stripping 12 times longer
than hex head cap screws.
Concentric is often specified in air handling,
HVAC, fan and blower applications where
noise and vibration reduction is essential.

Mounting Installation
NOTICE
These bearings are designed for maximum permissible static
misalignment of 1 1/2 degrees. Installation, handling or operation
of the bearing in excess of the maximum of 1 1/2 degrees can cause
reduction in bearing performance and may lead to equipment failure.
Do not strike or hammer on any component of the bearing and/or
shaft. Impact can result in damage to the bearing that may cause
reduction in bearing performance and may lead to equipment failure.

Step 1: Inspect Shaft and Bore

Shaft should be within tolerance range shown in the table, clean and free
of nicks and burrs. Mount bearings on unused section of shafting or
repair/replace shafting as required. Inspect both the shaft and bearing
bore for debris or contaminants. Wipe clean as necessary.

Step 2: Check Support Surfaces

Make sure the base of the housing and the support surfaces are clean
and free from burrs. If the housing elevation is adjusted with shims these
must cover the entire contact area between the housing and the support
surface.

Step 3: Install Unit
To aid installation, keep weight off bearing during mounting. Slide unit
onto shaft by pushing on the inner ring. If it is difficult to mount bearing
on shaft, use a piece of emery cloth to reduce any high spots on the
shaft.

Step 4: Fasten Unit in Place

Install housing mounting bolts and check bearing alignment. Align the
bearing units as closely as possible. Tighten mounting bolts to
recommended fastener torques. Check the shaft for freedom of rotation
by rotating shaft with hand in both directions.

Step 5: Tighten Locking Mechanism

a. Setscrew Locking Inserts
Setscrews in multiple bearing applications should be aligned as shown.

Tighten bearing units to the shaft as follows:

i. Torque the first setscrew A to one half of the recommended torque
in Table 2.

ii. Torque the second setscrew B to the full recommended torque. Go

back to the first setscrew A and tighten to the full recommended
torque.

What is the difference between static and dynamic

misalignment?
Static misalignment = shaft misalignment at a constant angle
with respect to the bearing
Dynamic misalignment = shaft that is continuously
misaligning with respect to the bearing

Bearing Lubrication FAQs

What is grease?
Mixture of a soap/thickener, an oil and additives
The thickeners function is to retain oil in the bearing cavity
The oil provides lubricity to the rolling elements and
raceways of the bearing
Additives such as rust preventatives can enhance grease
characteristics
Why grease instead of oil in the bearing?
Grease is preferred due to reduced maintenance and/or
lower cost
Grease is easier to store, handle and transport
Most mounted bearings are designed for relubrication with
grease
Oil is the preferred lubricant in high-speed or hightemperature applications
Can I mix greases?
Compatibility may be an issue when mixing thickener and oil
types
Incompatibility can be avoided by using the grease or grease
type recommended by the manufacturer
Can I over grease a bearing?
Excessive grease in the bearing may be an issue for high
speed applications
Initial start-up after relubrication should be slow to allow
grease to purge
When greasing, add grease slowly
Many mounted bearing seals are designed to allow grease to
purge
Some seals can be damaged or blown out by excessive
relubrication
How often should I regrease, and how much grease should
I add?
The engineering charts in the engineering sections of the
catalogs serve as general schedules since applications vary
greatly. Your experience may be important in determining a
lubrication schedule.

Lubrication Engineering Tables

All Browning Ball Bearings are delivered with a high quality lithium complex
grease with an EP additive. The bearing is ready for use with no initial
lubrication required. The grease consists of a lithium complex thickener,
mineral oil, and NLGI grade 2 consistency.
Compatibility of grease is critical; therefore consult with Application
Engineering and your grease supplier to insure greases are compatible
For best performance it is recommended to relubricate with lithium complex
thickened grease with a comparable NLGI consistency and base oil
properties.
Relubricatable Browning bearings are supplied with grease fittings or zerks
for ease of lubrication with hand or automatic grease guns. Always wipe
the fitting and grease nozzle clean.

CAUTION: If possible, it is recommended to lubricate the bearing while

rotating, until grease purge is seen from the seals. If this is not an option
due to safety reasons, follow the alternate lubrication procedure below.

Re-Lubrication Procedure: Stop rotating equipment. Add one half of

the recommended amount shown in Table 1. Start the bearing and run for
a few minutes. Stop the bearing and add the second half of the
recommended amount. A temperature rise after lubrication, sometimes
30F (17C), is normal Bearing should operate at temperatures less than
200F (94C) and should not exceed 250 (121C) for intermittent operation
For lubrication guidelines, see Table 2.

Note: Table 2 is general recommendations. Experience and testing may

be required for specific applications.

Note: Grease charges in Table 1 are based on the use of lithium complex

thickened grease with a NLGI grade 2 consistency.
