SKF PHL FM 10/400 - Belt Frequency Meter, 10 to 400 Hz

Easy and quick to use

• Simply key-in the span length and mass data. Data can also be saved and recalled for repeated use, if necessary.
• Aim sensor at center of selected belt span and pluck or tap the belt.
• The display will show the measured frequency which can be toggled to either newton or pound force values.
• Readjust the belt tension, if necessary, and take another measurement.

The most accurate belt tension measurement method

Correct belt tension is crucial for the whole drive system, its service life and the service life of associated components such as bearings and seals. Therefore, it is important to get accurate and reliable results when measuring belt tension.

The SKF Belt Frequency Meter is one of the most accurate tools available for measuring belt tension. Readings are quick, reliable and, most importantly, repeatable. The tool is extremely easy to use and minimizes the risk of errors.

Wide range of applications

The SKF Belt Frequency Meter consists of a hand-held meter and an optical sensor, to provide contact-free belt tension measurements for most of the following belt types, even in a nosiy environment:

• V-belts (wrapped, cogged raw edge, ribbed)
• Banded V-belts
• Timing belts

The SKF Belt Frequency Meter is capable of measuring belt vibration frequencies from 10 to 400 Hz. Based upon the measured belt frequency, the SKF Belt Frequency Meter calculates belt tensions up to 9 900 N (2 200 lbs.).
