V-Guide Template

Choosing the appropriate V-guide template size is crucial for optimal performance. The size can vary based on the belt's dimensions. To determine the right size, measure the width where it attaches to the belt and the thickness. Importantly, there should be a 1/16" clearance on both sides and the bottom of the guide. If flexibility is needed for negotiating smaller pulleys, notched guides are a practical choice.

Precise placement of V-guide templates on the belt is essential. Communicate the centerline of the guide and provide details about its position on the belt, such as centerline, a specific distance from the centerline, and other relevant information. Avoid using worn belt edges as reference points, as this can lead to inaccurate guide placement, especially when multiple guides are involved.
