Synchronous belt linear modules , also known as synchronous belt type linear modules, are linear modules driven by synchronous belts. The quality of the synchronous belt greatly affects the performance of the entire linear module.
Synchronous belts, also known as timing belts, are annular belts with steel wire rope or fiberglass as the reinforcing layer and polyurethane or neoprene rubber as the outer layer. The inner circumference of the synchronous belt is toothed so that it meshes with toothed pulleys, providing balanced, accurate, and high-speed transmission.
However, as the linear module operates for extended periods, the timing belt will be continuously stretched and become loose, which will affect the positioning accuracy of the linear module. Generally, the longer the timing belt, the faster it will loosen due to transmission; it is also related to the load. If the transmission is under excessive load for a long time, the timing belt will loosen even faster. In this case, it is necessary to adjust the timing belt to restore its original tension.
Method for adjusting the tension of the synchronous belt in a linear module:
1. Manually push the slider to the end of the linear module (when there is no load, you need to hold the linear module down by hand to prevent the slider from shifting during adjustment);
2. Adjust by turning the hex wrench clockwise;
3. The adjustment range is approximately 1-2mm, and other adjustments depend on the specific circumstances.
This concludes the introduction to adjusting the belt tension in a synchronous linear module! For more questions about linear modules, please visit the Shenhuaya Linear Module website: http://www.shysz8.com/
