Does anyone know anything about the tension spec for this redrive or where to order a belt? it uses a micro v type belt about 1 7/8" wide.
thanks, any help would be great!

Some old information I have says 9/16-7/8 lbs side load for 1/64" deflection per inch of span per rib. For example, say you have 8" of belt between the points where the belts contact the pulleys, that's .56-.88 lbs for 8/64 or 1/8" deflection. if your belt has, say, 10 ribs, that means 5.6-8.8 lbs push against the belt for it to deflect 1/8".

I got belts through "The Big Bearing Store" but the invoice that arrived with them was "Carnell Sales Inc." phone is 901-757-0677 they had separate belts and also banded. Hope this helps
