PREMIUM GOLD RUBBER BELTS

REXONS EASY INSTALL

Rexons range of Vbelts come with our trademark MATCH50, emphasising our Vbelt
Factorys strict compliance to International Standards ISO9001 and ISO4184, regarding
manufactured belts to belt manufacturing tolerances and belt matching tolerances.
Rexon MATCH50 belts are built right from the start to run in multiple belt drives with their
lengths running within acceptable tolerances as specified in the ISO4184. (Please note that
age and storage conditions of the belt may alter the length of the belt).
Rexon has come up with an easy install system provided to ensure problems related to
tensioning, matching and belt life is appropriate for you drive design. Just install, then no
problems at all!
EASY INSTALL:
1. Carefully check the conditions of the pulley grooves, if they show excessive wear out, the
pulleys must be replaced, otherwise they might decrease the belts life span. The belt
tends to settle at the bottom of the pulleys groove and if the walls of these grooves are
worn out, they will cause erosion of the lower corners of the belt, causing failure in the
transmission system. Pulleys should not be bent, oxidized or porous. (A change of
pulleys is recommended every five changes of the belt). Rexon has a Pulley Groove
Indicator which should be used to determine worn pulleys.

2. As long as the lateral walls of the pulleys have the same dimensions, their alignment can
be verified by using a ruler as standard. It should touch the four points of the pulley and
assure the ideal alignment.

3. Verify the belts profile with the pulley grooves, according to instructions. Dual Duty
pulleys should always use A and SPA profile belts and so on. Use REXONs vbelt size
indicator to verify this.

4. When belts are used in a set, do not substitute only one at a time. Always substitute the
whole set because worn out belts used along with new belts might cause an overload on
the new ones. Never mix belts of different manufacturers: in each set, all belts must be of
the same brand.
5. When installing the belts on the pulleys, never force them against the pulley. Do not use
any tool or lever, as it might tear the envelope and/or the tensile cords, permanently
damaging the belt.
6. In general, the tension of the belt should be the smallest possible as long as it ensures
that the belt will work without skidding, considering the peak loads. During the first 48
hours of operation the tension should be monitored frequently. After this period,
whenever there is skidding, the belt should be retensioned. Undertensioning causes the
belt to skid and generates excessive heat which can damage the belts structural
components. Overtensioning can decrease the belts life span as well as that of the
whole system. (please refer to attached information sheet on the Rexon TensionRex
table)
7. Check the general condition of the bearings and the lubrication of the transmission
system. If necessary, replace the bearings before installing a new belt.
8. Leave adequate room for the belt to operate. Small or extremely confined spaces might
cause a system overheating and the decrease of the belts life span. If necessary,
provide forced ventilation for the system.
