Abstract

A method and apparatus for measuring an operating front end accessory belt tension using a hubload transducer and a torque transducer. The hubload transducer (100) comprises concentric rings with a strainable member (102) disposed in a coplanar fashion between an inner (101) and outer (103) ring. The hubload transducer is used with a non-torque transmitting idler pulley. The torque transducer comprises a strainable cylindrical member connected to a belt bearing surface and a rotating shaft. The torque transducer will transmit a torque to a driven accessory. It is used on accessories such as an air conditioner compressor or power steering pump. Signals from the hubload transducer and torque transducer are used to calculate a drive efficiency as well as belt span tensions between the driver and driven accessories.
