Cambelt Tension Gauge for Precision Timing Belt Adjustment
The Cambelt Tension Gauge is a professional-grade tool designed to accurately measure and adjust the tension of your vehicle's cam belt (timing belt) by assessing load in Newton-meters (NM). This essential tool ensures precise cam belt tensioning, preventing issues such as belt chatter or excessive wear from improper tension.
Key Features:
Versatile Compatibility: Suitable for various cam belt widths, making it ideal for use on a wide range of vehicles. Precise Adjustments: Clear incremental markings with a knurled knob for fine-tuned measurements, allowing for precise belt tension adjustment. Dual-Scale Design: Readings can be taken from either the top or bottom of the tool, providing flexibility and ease of use. Accuracy in Tensioning: Specifically designed for vehicles that require timing belt tension settings in Newton-meters (NM) at specific locations on the belt's span between pulleys, as recommended by the manufacturer. Applications: This Cambelt Tension Gauge is compatible with a variety of vehicles, including but not limited to:
Porsche 928, 924, and 944 Audi V6 and V8 engines Certain Volkswagen engines Check your service manual for additional compatible models. Why Use This Tool? The Cambelt Tension Gauge measures the precise tension required to depress the timing belt, allowing you to adjust the position of the timing belt tensioner pulley for optimal performance. This tool helps speed up the timing belt installation process by eliminating guesswork, ensuring the belt is neither too tight nor too loose. Proper tensioning prevents issues such as belt slippage, chatter, or howling, and contributes to the longevity and smooth operation of your engine.
Whether you’re performing routine maintenance or a timing belt replacement, the Cambelt Tension Gauge is an indispensable tool for professional mechanics and DIY enthusiasts alike.
