Take the slip out of your belt-driven HVAC system with a self-adjusting T-Max V-Belt
Tensioner. Automatic T-Max Tensioners eliminate the need for regular manual retensioning
of drives by applying a preset load to the V-belt, increasing the belt's life and
decreasing service calls. As the V-belt stretches, the spring-loaded tensioner automatically
takes up the slack, saving energy, decreasing downtime, and reducing operating costs.
Combined with a Fenner Drives
PowerMax Idler Pulley, T-Max Tensioners can be used to:
Reduce "Ladder Time"
- Fewer maintenance calls lead to fewer trips to the roof to work on the system.
Reduce System Noise
- Eliminate noise created by vibrations from loose belts.
Increase Energy Efficiency
- Tension drive belts automatically, eliminating slip and torque losses associated
with loose fitting V-belts.
Reduce Maintenance Costs
- Eliminate belt re-tensioning costs and increase belt life.
Flexible Installation Options
- Mount a T-Max Tensioner directly to the frame of the unit or with a Fenner Drives
universal mounting bracket.
Fast Mounting
- Depending on system brand, T-Max install time ranges from 15 to 45 minutes.
Fenner Drives T-Max V-Belt Tensioner Assemblies provide a simple, "off the shelf"
tensioning solution to optimize HVAC system performance. T-Max Tensioner Assemblies
