The role in modern mechanical engineering
Suboptimal belt tension can increase energy consumption by up to 5%. Such tensioning devices for motors minimize energy losses and extend the lifespan of belts and bearings. In the food industry, which requires consistent performance and minimal downtime, they support smooth operations. More at gear boxes and motors..
Simplification of the drive system
Conventional systems often require separate tension rollers, increasing costs and maintenance. Motor aligning units can eliminate these components and simplify the drive system. In a packaging machine, for example, the elimination of tension rollers saves space and reduces the likelihood of errors by 10%, promoting the drive system integration.

Mono Plate (Unsplit Plate): When stability is a top priority
The mono plate with continuous construction offers high strength, ideal when motor base distances are precisely defined. Manufacturers of precision machine tools use them to reduce vibrations by up to 12% and increase processing accuracy. Elongated holes allow for mounting flexibility despite fixed construction.
Duo Plate (Split Plate): Flexibility for variable requirements
Duo plate tension slides with a split mounting plate are suitable for varying motor dimensions. Typically, they are used in series production with motors from various suppliers and slightly differing dimensions (e.g., +/- 3mm), simplifying inventory management. Alternatively, tension rails an.
Direct comparison: Stability versus adaptability
The choice between mono and duo plate depends on the priorities. Mono plates offer stability, duo plates adaptability to different motor sizes. A special machine builder might use mono plates for 80% of standard applications and duo plates for 20% with unclear motor specifications.
- Mono Plate: Stability, for defined motor dimensions.
- Duo Plate: Flexibility, for variable motor base distances.
- Selection: Based on stability needs and motor dimension variance.
Secure: Choose material and surface treatment for maximum longevity
Steel as a material: The basis for robustness
Stabilized steel is used, which shows improved deformation resistance under load due to heat treatment or alloying. This is important for drives with high torques, where standard steel could warp and cause misalignments. The steel quality withstands industrial stresses about 20% better than structural steel.
- Use of stabilized steel for increased robustness and longevity.
- Improved deformation resistance of the steel under load through heat treatment or special alloys.
- Superior resilience of the steel quality against industrial stresses, about 20% higher than standard structural steel.
- Cathodic dip coating (KTL) as premium corrosion protection for demanding environments.
- Galvanization as proven base protection against corrosion for standard applications.
- Long-term securing of mechanical properties and precise adjustability through high-quality surface treatment like KTL.
- Ensuring functionality and preventing blockages due to rust for at least 10 years with KTL coating.
Corrosion protection in detail: KTL coating and galvanization
Cathodic dip coating (KTL) provides uniform corrosion protection and extends lifespan in humid or chemically strained environments. A KTL coating withstands a salt spray test (DIN EN ISO 9227) for over 720 hours without significant corrosion. Galvanization provides base protection for less demanding applications. Information on solutions for your motors is available.
Impact of material choice on performance
Surface treatment influences performance indirectly. Durable corrosion protection like KTL secures long-term mechanical properties and smooth adjustability. Without protection, rust on outdoor installations would block adjustment mechanisms, complicate maintenance, and incur costs. KTL ensures functionality for at least 10 years.Application: Maximize compatibility and fields of use of motor tensioning slides
Wide range of applications in various industries
Motor aligning plates are compatible with standard motors, gear motors (especially worm gears), three-phase motors, and electromotors with brakes.In the packaging industry, they ensure belt tension in over 50 machine types.
Fit for IEC standard motor sizes.
The range covers IEC motor sizes from 63 to 200, ensuring wide market coverage. Machine builders can thus use standard models for 90% of their common motor sizes. The selection is based on motor size and load capacity (up to 282 kg).
Optimal integration into belt drives
They allow variable center distance adjustment through motor displacement, enabling precise and quick adjustment of belt tension. In a fan drive, for example, the tension can be adjusted seasonally for efficiency optimization in under 10 minutes.Perfecting: Master the right selection and adjustment of motor tensioning slides
The key criteria for your selection
The key criteria for your selection of a motor tensioning slide are: Motor size (IEC), load capacity (up to 282 kg), material (KTL/zinc-coated), type (Mono/Duo Plate), mounting position (horizontal/vertical). For a heavy motor (150 kg) in a damp environment (e.g., wastewater treatment plant), a KTL-coated Mono Plate of the appropriate IEC size is suitable for stability and corrosion protection. When purchasing electric motors the appropriate motor mounting should be considered.
- Consider the motor size according to IEC standards.
- Check the required load capacity of the tensioning carriage (up to 282 kg).
- Choose the material and surface treatment (e.g., KTL-coated or zinc-coated) based on environmental conditions.
- Decide on the appropriate type: Mono Plate for maximum stability or Duo Plate for flexibility with motor dimensions.
- Pay attention to the intended mounting position (horizontal or vertical).
- Consider custom modifications such as special coatings or altered holes for specific requirements.
- Ensure a completely flat mounting surface to avoid stress.
- Ensure precise alignment of the motor and pulleys for optimal performance and longevity.
When standard is not enough: Custom modifications
For special requirements, ATEK offers customized drive solutions in the overall system alongside a wide range of standard products (JS-Technik serves as an example for special solutions). As part of a system inquiry, special coatings or adapted holes can be checked, for instance.
Mounting and alignment: Practical tips
A flat mounting surface and correct motor alignment prevent stress and wear. A spirit level and caliper help ensure parallelism of the rails and alignment of the pulleys. Precise mounting can extend belt life by up to 30%.Benefit: Fully capitalize on the cost-effectiveness and advantages of motor tensioning carriages
The convincing advantages at a glance
The convincing advantages of these tensioning systems at a glance are: easy installation, fewer components, stability (Mono Plate) or flexibility (Duo Plate), reliable corrosion protection. A manufacturing company, for example, reduced assembly times for drives by 25% through pre-assembled motor bases which saves costs.
Cost-effectiveness consideration: More than just the purchase price
The cost-benefit ratio, quick installation, and low maintenance needs make such motor alignment units economical. Such a motor mounting (e.g., €150), which doubles the belt life (costs €50) and saves 1 hour of maintenance (€80) per year, often pays for itself in the first year.
- Quick belt tensioning saves labor time.
- Elimination of tensioning rollers reduces costs and complexity.
- Longer service life of belts/bearings lowers spare parts costs.
- Optimized maintenance increases availability and productivity.
