BELT ACCESSORIES

INVALUABLE COMPONENTS FOR THE POWER TRANSMISSION ENGINEER’S TOOL KIT.

To complement the PIX range of belt products, PIX Transmissions produce a range of tools and software for use when specifying, maintaining, and designing, belts drives. They are invaluable components of the Power Transmission engineer’s tool kit.

PIX service kit

PIX SERVICE KIT


The ultimate ‘tool kit’ for the mechanical power transmission engineer.

Comprises X’Align Laser Pulley Alignment Tool, Digital Tension Meter, Analog Tension Tester, Digital Vernier Calipers, Belt Profile Gauge, Pulley Gauge,Tape Measure, LED Torch, Pen, Calculator, and User Guide. All components are housed in a strong, light-weight, ABS case.

PIX X’ALIGN LASER-GUIDED ALIGNMENT TOOL

PIX X’ALIGN LASER-GUIDED ALIGNMENT TOOL


Highly effective tool which uses a laser beam to correct any misalignment in a drive, ensuring the maximum possible belt life and drive efficiency.

PIX DIGITAL TENSION METER

PIX DIGITAL TENSION METER


The most accurate way to check that belts are tensioned correctly is to measure the frequency emitted by the belt.

The PIX DTM is a simple but very accurate unit which enables the frequency to be measured. Using the frequency measurement, the exact tension of the belt can be calculated. Correct tension is vital to minimise slippage, prolong belt life, and obtain the maximum energy efficiency from a drive.

PIX ANALOG TENSION TESTER

PIX ANALOG TENSION TESTER


Simple tool for measuring belt tension manually. Whilst not giving the accuracy of the Digital Tension Meter, it provides an adequate reading for most drives. It is a very economic and compact aid to optimising belt drives and their efficiency.

PIX BELT LENGTH MEASURES

PIX BELT LENGTH MEASURES


The traditional tool for measuring belt length, when the size is not visible on the belt.

Two variants available:

Flat Pulley Length Measure –
A universal tool to measure the length of all types of belt. Measures up to approx. 3100mm.
V-Groove Pulley Length Measure –
V-Groove Pulley Length Measure Measures the length of conventional V-belts up to 138.

Belt PULLEY GAUGE

PULLEY GAUGES


Simple set of templates to identify the different pulley sections. The gauges will also show signs of excessive wear in pulley sheaves.

PIX POLY-V BELT WEAR GAUGE PENTAGON

PIX POLY-V BELT WEAR GAUGE (PENTAGON)


This tool from PIX is used for the maintenance of Poly-V belts.

It enables the user to check wear in the belt ribs, and also the overall thickness of the belt. The clever design uses 4 sides of the Pentagon to check PJ, PK, PL, and PM sections.

PIX BELT PROFILE GAUGE

PIX BELT PROFILE GAUGE


A useful tool from PIX to determine a belt section, if the belt marking is not visible. Works with all wrapped belts – Classical, Wedge, and Narrow sections.

PIX DRIVE DESIGN & BELT CALCULATION SOFTWARE

THE PIX DRIVE DESIGN PROGRAMME

The PIX Drive Design Programme is a comprehensive application which can be used to both specify belts and pulleys for new drives and to validate the requirements for existing drives.

It can be used for V-Belts, Ribbed Belts, and Timing Belts, with simple 2-pulley drives or complex multi-pulley systems.

PIX Drive Setup & Calculation Utilities are an invaluable aid to anyone involved with designing, specifying, or selling belt and pulley drives. Six separate digital tools allow the user to calculate: 1. Pulley Centre Distance (from belt pitch length); 2. Belt Pitch Length (from pulley centre distance); 3. Correct V-Belt Tension; 4. Belt Power Rating (V & Poly-V); 5. Belt Power Rating (Timing Belts); and 6. Belt Length Conversion Factor (Li to Lp to La).
