Using a Belt Tension Meter: The Ultimate Guide
Non-contact measuring occurs by sonic
To achieve optimal belt tension, industrial professionals rely on a specialized tool known as a belt tension gauge. This device allows for precise measurement of belt tension, ensuring that it falls within the manufacturer’s recommended range.
It is important to note that despite traditional wisdom, the “thumb test” to check the tension on a belt is not an accurate measurement and should never be used. Many businesses still use this method to measure the tension on a belt and frequently have to replace belts due to incorrect tensioning. Only a belt tension gauge can give an accurate belt tension measurement.
Application Scenarios

How to input the data?
1.How to input the unitmass
Tooth & Flat timing belt
**.To input the unit mass is width(mm)xlength(m) in g/mm width x mLength.1. Data capacity is 000.1~999.9g/mmwidth xm Length
**.Able to input with four significantdigit figures of three columns ofintegers and decimal one column
2.Tooth & V belt from the pre-installdata
**.Push "MASS" bottom more than onesecond, belt type shows up on thescreen. With using "UP" or "DOWN"button to select and push "MEASURE'to set.
3.V, V-Ribbed belt and Wire
**.Input the mass per meter of length in"g/m length" for unit mass. Able to input by four significant digits,i.e. three digits of integer and one digitbelow decimal point from 000.1 up to999.9 g/m L. Unit mass correspondsto one piece for V-belt and wire, andone rib for V-ribbed belt.
How to input the data?
1. How to input the beltwidth or the number ofbelts (ribs)
**.Timing or Flat beltTo put the date is for belt width is000.1mm~999.9mm, three digits ofinteger and one digit below decimalpoint in mm.
**.V, V ribbed belt, WireFor V belt and WVire, put one piece.For V ribbed belt, put the number ofribs of V-ribbed belt.
2. How to put the value ofspan lengthS
**.Span length is a distance betweencontacts with pulley, and can becalculated by the f following calculatingformula.Alternatively, measure the distancebetween pulley contacts with a tapemeasure and put.

I do all the maintenance on my vehicles including classic cars and have always tensioned the belts either by the thumb deflection method or "it looks right". I also work on other things that have belts such as air compressors and A/C units and set the belts the same way. I have to say I didn't even know that a device like this was even available. But looking at it and the physics of how it works intrigued me. It is likely more accurate and overkill for what I need but I always like a challenge and to learn new things. The manual is pretty good and explains the theory and setup but I wish it had some real world examples. No matter as I was able to find some by asking my friend Google. I feel like I can now set my belt tensions like a master.

I really had no idea that there was a device such as this. We had so many issues with our lawn mower belts. We would go through them regularly. After ordering this, we checked to see the tension, but actually our belt was off. We corrected and adjusted the belt and haven’t had to change our belt since!

Definitely an upgrade to our existing tension meter, which I think was at least 10 years old. Much easier to use and costs much, much less than what we paid for our existing one. Time will tell how long this meter will last as the one we already have seems a little sturdier. But this isn't meant to be carried around while working in some crowded area where you're likely to drop it. Accuracy is spot on.

I got this for my dad’s shop that I occasionally work in. His last one was not as nice as this but it worked. This one came quick, but in the cheapest box I’ve ever seen. Like I have tent stakes that came in a more hefty case than what this did. For the price , I’d expect it to come with a little thicker case but that doesn’t affect the function of it. It works as advertised and is cheaper than if you were to buy it out of the industry catalog. Overall, it works and im happy !
