How To Adjust Pulley On Servo Motor With Belt Slot In Table?

[Haley]

I'm not sure how to align the pulley on my servo motor with the belt slot in my table,

Anyone know?

Some motors have the mounting bracket slotted where the table bolts go through. You should be able to get about 1/2" of adjustment there ... hopefully in the right direction. Some motor housings are like extruded aluminum, slots that have a recess for nuts inside the extrusion. If your motor is like this, then you can loosen up the mounting bracket attachments on the motor and slide them over a little.

The last resort is to drill new holes in the table.

Never mind was easy to loosen bolt with Alan wrench and slide pulley over.

Unfortunately the belt still rubs on the table so I'm filing the edge of the slot down

Like you did ... Option I missed is moving the pulley itself.

So when the belt is straight down from the head pulley and not attached to the motor, does it hang in the middle of the slot, or against one side?

If it hangs against the side, widening the slot like you are doing is the easiest thing to do. Then the motor pulley/ motor should be moved to align with the head pulley.
