Belt tension checking tool
Hey has anybody used this device to check timing belt tension? Do web search for
Leitenberger Belt Tensioning Tool
This tool opens new diagnostic possabilities to every engineer/auto technician that wants to precisely measure tension on a drive belt. It can develop data that would let someone to predict failure of a tensioning device. It can also be used in repairs to maintain a precise standard by each person that performs the same task ie every engine would have the belts tensioned to the same value.* This concept first became popularized by Porsche on the intricate mechanical device they used to maintain correct drive belt tension on the 944. This device is described by the manufacturer:
Tester with digital display for checking the tension of toothed belts. Clamping the belt in a metal sensor brings up a numerical value in the display. This can be converted into Newton's by means of a table (supplied) and compared with the manufacturer's data. Automatic shut off. Power supply required: 9V battery.
