The Automatic Motor Base features a built-in spring or series of springs to control belt tension, as opposed to a standard base that does not adjust with changing workloads. The motor rides on cross members attached to tubes, creating a carriage that automatically moves toward or away from the driven member as the load increases or decreases. As the workload increases, the belt tension increases. The spring then compresses and the carriage moves toward the driven pulley. The result: tension is always maintained at a value just sufficient to keep the system operating at peak energy efficiency - with neither slippage nor excessive tension.
The Automatic Motor Base is also used successfully to increase reliability and uptime in 'critical' premium applications such as precision cooling systems in the data-center and pharmaceutical industries, as well as standard HVAC installations. The Automatic is used as a cost-effective way to significantly reduce in-field maintenance expenses and increase facility uptime. Because this base automatically maintains proper belt tension, less routine maintenance is required for tensioning and replacing belts and bearings, resulting in lower maintenance costs.
In conclusion, the Automatic Motor Base is an suitable solution for both challenging applications and premium applications where reliability is critical. The spring-controlled belt tensioning system eases the burden on the belts and motor bearings and increases energy efficiency by maintaining optimal belt tension for peak performance.
