When dealing with V-belts and ribbed belts, a level of tension that is too low leads to the unnecessary slipping through of the belts, an issue that is usually difficult to notice. This additional friction that can lead to the burning of the belt creates unnecessary heat losses. With regards to V-belts and ribbed belts, a level of tension that is too high leads to an unwanted distortion of the belt composition. When dealing with timing belts, it is also the case that the teeth do not engage cleanly if the tension level is too high or too low and then become distorted.
As is the case with friction, matters such as unnecessary distortion always lead to heat losses that are simple to avoid. The method of setting the tension by using the thumbprint method no longer works when dealing with the technologically demanding drive belts of today.
