    BMC20 Belt tension for servo drive?

    What is the correct way to tension drive belts on BMC-20 Hurco mill?
    Any help would be great.

    Only apply light pressure to the motor (a couple of pounds) whilst pinching the screws. Run the axis to let the belt centre itself then re-check the tension. Over-tensioning the belt will cause the motor shaft to wring off.
