Belt Slipping Between Motor And Speed Reducer.

Recommended Posts

I installed a speed reducer and adjusted the tension on the belts, but I'm finding that the belt between the motor and the speed reducer slips quite a bit. The speed reducer has a baked on epoxy paint. I was thinking about sanding the paint off of the pulley where the belt touches, but thought I would ask if anyone has any slick tricks to try before I do that.

If I go any tighter on the belt tension, I'm afraid I'll burn out the bearings.

Go to any auto parts store and ask for belt dressing. I prefer the stick variety over the spray. It's a lot less messy and lasts a long time.
