Our mounting plate tension equipment is used in factories around the world. We’ve created bespoke systems for everyone from Ducati and Triumph to Nissan.
In fact, since 1988, the timing belt tension for every Ducati engine has been set with Clavis equipment, and we’ve recently designed and engineered a tool to tension the rear belt.
Each of our production line tools can be used on a number of different engine variants. They are designed specifically for the needs of each client.
If you want your belts to have perfect tension, every time, why not learn more about our tension setting equipment? Webpage: clavis.co.uk/unit-mounting-plate/

Improper tension is one of the most common reasons for drive, steering and brake belt failures.
In the construction industry, machines are pushed to their limits, and the last thing you need is belt failure disrupting a project and causing inconvenient downtime.
For equipment that needs to stand up to the elements, use a belt tension meter that’s tough, reliable and accurate. Then, your customers can be confident that their machinery can take on any challenge.

Improper belt tension can cause slippage, premature wear, excessive stress on belts, bearings, and shafts, breakage, and even engine damage.
But, this isn’t just a problem for landlubbers. Proper belt tension plays an important role for marine engines too.
Checking belt tension with one of our accurate, reliable belt meters can help to prolong the life of alternators and engines, whether your customers are cruising down the motorway or sailing the seven seas. Learn more: Webpage: clavis.co.uk/hand-held-belt-meters/

A blurry photo is a moment lost. This theory can be applied to inaccurate measurement data, with engineers using handheld instruments.
In my latest blog, below, I explain all about our new series of robot-mounted belt tension equipment with built in programmable logic controllers.

Ever wondered how electric power assisted steering (EPAS) works?
Sensors detect the position and torque of the steering column. Then, a computer module applies assistive torque through a motor, which connects to the steering gear or column.
Clavis’ Fourier measurement system analyses the tension of the drive belt in two different ways to get the most accurate reading, and enables EPAS systems to be mass produced successfully.

Even with today’s camera phones, it still happens. You try to take a perfect photo but it comes out a blur — and the moment is lost forever.
This kind of situation might also be familiar to engineers who’ve used handheld instruments to take accurate data readings — and then wished they had used a mount instead!
But robots can lend a helping hand. In my new blog, I explain how Clavis has introduced a purpose-designed series of robot-mounted belt tension equipment, with built in programmable logic controllers (PLCs).
