14-5 POWER TRANSMISSION TO DRIVE MACHINES

14-5-1 BELT DRIVE

Note the following:

• Use a V-belt rather than a flat belt.

• The drive shaft of the engine must be parallel to the drive shaft of the driven machine.

• The drive pulley of the engine must be in line with the driven pulley of the machine.

• Install the engine pulley as close to the engine as possible.

• If possible, span the belt horizontally.

• Disengage the load when starting the engine.

A belt tensioner or similar should be installed if no clutch is used.

14-5-2 FLEXIBLE COUPLING

When using a flexible coupling, run-out and misalignment between the driven shaft and the engine shaft

should be minimized.

The permissible margin of run-out and misalignment is specified by the flexible coupling manufacturer.
