Spring Loaded Tensiometer

The Spring Loaded Tensiometer uses a tensioning method based upon the fact that the force needed to deflect a given span length by a given amount is related to the tension of the belt. Due to the fact that V-belts operate on the friction principle, multiplied by the mechanical advantage of the wedging principle, proper tensioning of v-belts is the single most important factor which is necessary for long, satisfactory operation.
