Full line of AWI Wide Belt Tension Testers
Guaranteed accurate readings.
AWI-II, 0-66 lbs (0-30 Kg.)
Functions in the same manner as the basic AWI-I, except it services belts to 3" in width, and has a force range of 0-66 lbs (0-30 Kg.), and belt tension range of 0-1056 lbs (0-480 Kg.).

Recommended for use on 3V-3VX belts of 6 strands; 5V-5VX belts of 2 & 3 strands; A & E belts with 2 & 3 strands; and is fully applicable for C belts with 2 strands.

SPECIAL NOTE: The AWI-II can also service multiple single stranded belt drives as well as banded belts.

Typical Belt-and-Sheave Application


Operation: is the same as the AWI-I, except for step 4. Because force applied at the tubular handle is distributed equally across two spring-tension units, the pounds-force reading of each o-ring must be added together (i.e., add together the o-ring readings on both plunger rods). Then, to calculate belt tension, multiply by 16.

NOTE: Many belt manufacturers will specify the recommended plunger reading (in lbs. or kg.) for a specific application. In such cases, always follow the belt manufacturer's recommendation.
