19 ® PANTHER® SYNCHRONOUS DRIVES CAUTION Do not pry or otherwise force belts onto sprockets. Doing so can result in permanent damage to the belt. RPP® PANTHER® ENGINEERING DATA Panther Belt Installation Condition A – One Flanged Sprocket and One Unflanged Sprocket. After sprockets have been mounted and aligned, reduce the shaft center distance as shown in Table 1. Put the belt over the flanged sprocket first, then slip onto the unflanged sprocket. Condition B – Both Sprockets Flanged. After sprockets have been mounted and aligned, reduce the shaft center distance as shown in Table 1. Put the belt over the larger sprocket first, then the smaller sprocket. Condition C – Minimum Center Distance Adjustment. 1. Mount one sprocket onto the shaft loosely and put the belt on it. 2. Put the other sprocket into the belt loop and slip it onto the other shaft (bushing loosely installed). 3. Align the drive and tighten the bushings. Timing belts have been designed to have proper pitch dimensions under correct tensions. Belts may not fully seat in large diameter pulleys without applying proper tension to the belt.
