Belt Tension Gauge Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : EL-AELE-9388
Jlab Export is a leading Belt Tension Gauge Manufacturer,and suppliers in India
A cam belt that is too slack can jump a tooth, and one that is too tight wears early. Its tension is therefore set with a gauge. This one measures belt movement under load. It works on cam belts of different thickness and has a dual scale that reads from the top or the bottom of the tool.

Workshop Practice: Setting Cam Belt Tension
Before the gauge goes on, students learn why the belt matters. It keeps the camshaft in step with the crankshaft, and the Valve Timing Diagram shows the valve events that depend on it. On a training engine, students fit the gauge on the longest free run of the belt and read the scale. They adjust the tensioner until the reading matches the engine maker’s figure.
After setting, they turn the crankshaft two full turns by hand, check that the timing marks still line up and read the gauge again. The tensioner lock bolt is then tightened with the Torque Wrench.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I read the gauge in a tight engine bay?
The scale is marked on both sides, so it can be read from the top or the bottom of the tool, whichever faces you. Use the knurled knob for fine setting, then read the incremental marking.
Does it work on different belts?
It is made for cam belts and suits belts of various thickness. Use the tension figure the engine maker gives for that engine, because the right tension depends on the engine and the belt type.
Why check the tension again after turning the engine?
Two full turns of the crankshaft let the belt settle on its pulleys and move any slack to the run where the tensioner sits. The reading taken after that is the one to work from.
What happens if a cam belt is too loose or too tight?
A loose belt can flap and jump a tooth. That upsets valve timing and, on many engines, lets the valves hit the pistons. A tight belt whines and wears the belt, the tensioner and the pump bearings early.
