- ใFast And Accurate Hitting Measurementsใ: Our belt tension gauges are clearly marked with easy to read markings to help you quickly, easily, and accurately measure belt tension to aid in your vehicle adjustments and extend the life of your belts.
- ใEasy To Useใ: Place the small O on top of the 10 lb mark and rest the U shaped bracket at a 90ยฐ angle against the bottom of the belt, position the large O- to the reference point and record the reading. Then push up on the rubber bumper until the small O touches the bottom of the tool body, then reposition the large O to the reference point, and the difference in the reading is the belt deflection.
- ใU Bracketใ: This universal belt tension gauge has a universal U bracket designed to hold the belt firmly in place while you adjust the tension, helping to reduce friction when tensioning the belt properly to extend the life of the belt.
- ใUniversal Belt Tensionerใ: This belt tension in gauge can be used on any vehicle, ATV or motorcycle with an auxiliary transfer belt and a 10 lb. weight, etc. Ideal for motorcycle belt replacement, adjustment or repair.
- ใWe Care About Youใ: Satisfying every customer is our service tenet, if you have more questions about our belt tension tool or encounter difficulties in the shopping process, please feel to us and we will respond to you within 24 hours on business days.
- OTC's Belt Tension Gauge is designed to allow you to accurately check that belt tension on drive belts is within the manufacturer specified tension range for the application for maximum component longevity
- Correct belt tension is critical for ensuring the longest belt life while delivering the correct tension to properly power accessory components without creating excessive loads on bearings
- Easy to read, full-color dual scale reads 30-180 foot pounds and 130-800 newton meters - no conversion necessary for newton meter specifications often used by British and European manufacturers
- Premium materials, precision castings, and careful assembly ensure exceptional accuracy and performance over the lifetime of the tool
- Designed for use on a wide range of automotive, motorcycle, and industrial belts
- Item Package Dimension: 5.0399999948592L x 1.3799999985924W x 1.0599999989188H inches
- Item Package Weight - 0.03968320716 Pounds
- Item Package Quantity - 1
- Product Type - ELECTROMECHANICAL GAUGE
- The visible good qualities๏ผThe belt tension gauge, made by mixing zinc alloy, iron and plastic, is very sturdy and stable. It feels very substantial when held in hand.
- Usable scenarios๏ผThis belt tension tool can be used for cars, motorcycles, trucks, etc., but it is not suitable for extremely narrow areas. Before purchasing, make sure there is sufficient space around the belt you need to measure.
- Measurement range: We use dual-scale reading and can measure the tension force within the range of 130 - 800 Newtons (30 - 180 pounds). The belt with a width of 25mm and a thickness of 10mm or less is within the measurement scope.
- Single-handed operation๏ผYou don't need any external tools. Just use one hand to push hard, so that the belt is fixed between the hook and the pulley. By using the dual-scale reading, you can quickly assess the tension of the belt.
- Reading instructions: If your product belongs to Bosch vehicles, you can directly determine the condition of the belt by referring to the reading table. For other brands, you can still read the values directly, but you need to judge the tightness of the belt based on its specific usage situation.
- Indicates tension on all V-belt drives (3L, 4L, 5L, A, B, C, AX, BX, CX, 3V, 5V, 8V)
- Compact, spring loaded design
- Easy to operate; instructions included
- Adjustable for 10" to 170" belt span and up to 35 pounds of tension
- proper tensioning is necessary to avoid premature belt wear
