Long description:
PULLEY MISALIGNMENTS
Pulley misalignments cause excessive belt and sheave wear, reduced bearing life, increased power consumption and high vibration levels. There are multiple types of misalignments that occur when the drive and driven shafts are not parallel and the sheaves are not axially aligned on the drive and driven shafts. Misalignments can be caused by improper belt tension and ineffective alignment procedures.
