This video demonstrates how to properly align the sheave/pulley with the flywheel and set the proper V-belt tension. Even though a compressor is used for demonstration purposes, the same steps apply to pump mountings utilizing a V-belt drive.

Excellent video. I was trying to explain this to a friend via text message and he was baffled.. Sharing it with him..

I have a double belt on a fan connected to a motor. One belt is loose while the other is tight. I have tried to adjust the motor alignment but this hasn't helped. Could one belt be stretched ?

Hi great content, I have a question. Can a pulley system enable a diesel engine to achieve a greater RPM than its rating. For instance, I have a Detroit diesel model 6V-53N/T that is rated at 300 BHP @ 2800 RPM. That is being used to power a positive displacement blower (roots 616 dvj) . I am looking to maximize the output of the blower. The blowers maximum output speed is 3000 RPM @ 135 BHP. Can a pulley system assist in that extra 200 RPM needed to meet the 3000 RPM. ?

Yes you can harness more speed from the engine, for that you will have to use a slightly bigger pulley on the engine and a slightly smaller pulley on the blower, these pulleys must be identical and of the same make and manufacturer! The blower will rotate at a higher speed but will receive less power!

@@hassanfaheem7356 thank you so much for that information/ confirmation . Our current unit is V belt driven , I’m assuming that is termed “direct drive” . I’ve noticed a few blowers ran off a transfer case - can you help me understand the difference or pros and cons to either set up ?
