[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 8207, member: 456"] When designing our system I phoned around some of the polyvee belt manufacturers and on one occasion was lucky enough to be put through to their chief design engineer. I told him that the load on the belt would be about one kilowatt, definitely over the top but remember that one does not get as much energy out of any system as one puts in, and that the drive would be subject to some jerkiness. He was able to feed this into his computer and immediately come up with the advice that a three chord (groove) belt would do all that we needed. Like Robert, we supply a six chord belt so we have a probable redundancy of about a factor of three. Also like Robert users do not seem to find the need to adjust the belt once it is set up properly. The only thing that I could do to improve the system is to hard anodise the pulleys but so far they do not seem to wear. Please sir can we have some of your heat here. I was out last night in -7deg C.:confused: [/QUOTE]
