I work at an amusement park and we have a water ride with 5 different conveyors all different lenghts and this video helped me out a lot. Thank you. This trade is new to me. Definitely different from roofing and solar. But tips of the trade videos like this make me look good for the boss man... Its like i know what im doing sometimes haha

I feel you bro. I was an engineer at a park for 5 years. Only just recently left

Nice job!

Another thing to look at is if your belt is not centered and it is already too tight then loosening the other side will do the same thing.

If we need to move belt right side by 1/2 inch, then 1/2 inch movement required on take-up roller on opposite side ?

[@royalmachinesolutions]

Good afternoon! I'm not sure I've understood your question completely but if you're moving the belt to the right, then an adjustment is required on the left hand side. There is a bit of trial and error involved, it's not necessarily a 1:1 adjustment.

@@royalmachinesolutions adjustment means tensioning the belt or loosening ?

[@royalmachinesolutions]

@@Srk7028 You can move the bracket out to add tension (which pushes the belt away from that side), or you can loosen the tension (which should pull the belt towards the side you've loosened).

Don't you need automatic guiding? I can only imagine that the belt will fall out of track quite fast again...

[@royalmachinesolutions]

Good afternoon Alain,
The rollers are crowned for "automatic guiding" so once it's initially tracked it should stay in place for quite a while. Aside from some major wear from the mechanical components, it's going to be pretty stable.
