PIX has developed several Customer Care Tools, catering to its customers at large, while using its products.

PIX Length Measure:
It is used to know the correct length of the belt. Sometimes the length printed on the belt is not visible due to wear and tear. It comes in two constructions
1. Conventional   2. Conventional and Poly V-Belts
They can measure length up to 120"

PIX Tension Tester:
To attain optimum power transmission from a drive, it is a must that the drive is tensioned correctly. PIX Tension Tester which comes in both the modes Analog and Digital can be used to tension the drive correctly.

PIX Pulley Gauges:
PIX Pulley Gauges can be used to check the groove in a pulley for its correctness.
This kit comprises of gauges for various sections of pulleys.

PIX Product Kits:
Comprises of cut samples belts or hoses. Tool which is widely used in domestic and international market to showcase the products. A handy kit can be carried while traveling.

PIX Belt Stand:
PIX Belt Stand is used mainly in showcasing PIX Automotive Belts. It is a metallic powder coated structure with 5 channels, each channel can hold up to 12 belts.

PIX User Guides:
There are three types of User Guides
1. Industrial Belts  2. Automotive Belts  3. Hoses

These are small pocket size booklets, helping the users at large on installation & maintenance of its products. It also guides the customer about Do's and Don'ts of the products.

PIX Length Finder
PIX Length Finder or length measure is used to check the length of a belt, if it is not clearly visible due to wear and tear. There are two types of length measure, they are

i) Conventional Length Measure &
ii) Poly-V length finder

The maximum belt length which can be measured with above two is up to 120 inches.

Belt length measurement procedure
1. Place the belt on the upper fixed half of the pulley.

2. Slide down the lower half of the pulley with a belt along the scale, till the belt gets sufficiently stretched.

3. Marker at lower position of the bottom half will show the length in mm / inches. Note down the reading and compare it with the size mentioned on the belt.

PIX V-Belt Tension Tester (Analog)
Proper belt tension is essential for optimum power transmission and also for the life of the belt. To ensure optimum V-belt drive operation, it is recommended to check the tension in the belts by measuring the deflection force value (N) with the help of a tension measuring device.

Belt tension in most of the drives can be checked with adequate reliability by means of PIX V-Belts Tension Tester.

Tension Measurement Procedure
1. Measure the span-length of the belt in mm. (refer sketch on the next page)

2. Tie a string or a thread on the two pulleys along with the length of the belt and mark the centre of span on the belt.

3. Calculate 1.5% of the span (say x) for belt length less than 1000 mm & 1.0% of the span for belt length more than 1000 mm. Adjust lower ring on the tension tester on the mm scale to coincide, "x" mm with the lower side of the ring. Adjust lower side of the upper ring at 0.00 N.

4. Place tension tester at the centre of the span of the belt. Apply force with the help of tension tester perpendicular to the span till the lower surface of the lower ring touches the string.

5. Read the deflection force value (N) on the Newton scale by taking reading at the lower side of the upper ring.

6. Compare the deflection force value (N) with the values given in the table 'A'. The deflection force value (N) should lie between the minimum and maximum values given in the table 'A'.

7. Deflection force less than the minimum recommended value in the range indicates an under-tensioned drive & deflection force higher than the maximum recommended value indicates an over-tensioned drive.

Important:
1) For new belts the deflection force value (N) should be kept at maximum.
2) Maximum deflection force value (N) is recommended for pulsating & shock loads.
3) It is recommended to re-check the belt tension after approximately 24 hours of running and adjust the tension, if necessary.


 

PIX Digital Tension Meter
PIX Digital Tension Meter is used for the measurement of belt-tension in a drive. This digital version helps in correct tensioning of the drive resulting into optimum power transmission. It helps in reading the exact value of tension on the belts, thus helping the user’s to correct the tension, if it is not proper. This equipment works on frequency measurement phenomenon.

Advantages:
• Non-contact measurement with repeated accuracy
• Large range of measurement from 10Hz to 600Hz
• High level of accuracy
• Evaluation of the quality of measurement results
• Suppression of background noises
• Universal measuring head for convenient measurement
• Detachable measuring sensor for narrow spaces


 

PIX Pulley Gauges
PIX Pulley Gauges are especially designed to check the profiles of the groove of various conventional and dual section pulleys

Groove Checking Procedure
1. Identify pulley gauge to be used according to the section and its diameter.

2. Measure the groove by inserting the gauge. Identify if any clearance lies between the side walls of the groove &
the gauge.

3. Measure the clearance using Feeler Gauge.
