Motoblocks, as is known, are of two types: working on chain or belt transmission. In the latter, the belt is a spare part, which is used to transfer the torque of the attached equipment to the engine. Also, the V-belt transmission simultaneously functions as a transmission and clutch. The belt itself is tensioned by means of a pulley tensioner.
It should be noted that the belt is easier to maintain than the chain, because it does not need to be lubricated, and the replacement of the worn out part does not leave much trouble. Let's find out what are the characteristics of drive belts for motoblocks.
Rules for operating the drive belts for the motor block
Modern belt for motoblock , in contrast to its predecessor, is made not of rubber, but of neoprene or polyurethane. These materials are more durable and last longer. But, one way or another, the belts still wear and tear. Let's consider the basic rules of using belts for motoblocks.
Firstly, the right choice of belt is very important. The product must be whole, do not have protruding threads, do not stretch. The new belt can not be bent or stretched, otherwise it will become unusable before the start of operation. It is also necessary to check the condition of the pulley (the wheel through which the rotation is transmitted from one shaft to the other): it should not have any defects that could cause damage to the belt during its movement. The dimensions of the belts for the motor blocks depend primarily on the type of the motor block (Cascade, Zubr, Neva, Salyut, etc.). The mismatch of their sizes and types often leads to rapid belt wear.
Secondly, you need to know how the belt is being replaced, because you will often have to do it yourself. In order to replace
