SKF has added a new product to its power transmission range. The SKF belt frequency meter is an accurate and reliable tool for measuring belt tension. It is a two component system consisting of a handheld meter attached to an optical sensor via an electronic cable. The sensor uses an infrared beam to detect the vibration of a belt strand and sends a signal to the meter. An LED that produces an orange light beam helps to aim the invisible infrared ray. For operator input, simply pluck the belt and point the sensor directly above the resulting vibration.
Comparing this input to the vibration of a quartz crystal, the meter computes the natural frequency of the belt. The result is shown in the display window. The internal programming of the meter is also able to report the belt tension in units of force provided the operator has entered the belt mass and span length using the manually operated key pad. The instrument is suitable for V-belts, banded belts and timing belts.
