Cast from iron for durability in industrial and commercial mechanical drive applications, this tightener holds a set position rather than applying continuous spring tension, making it well suited for drives where belt stretch is managed through periodic manual adjustment. The bore diameter is 0.938 inches, and the unit ships as a single piece. Licensed mechanics and millwrights install this component as part of motor-to-load drive assemblies across a range of equipment types.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFixed angle drive tighteners like the 1296862 are used in industrial fan drives, pump drives, compressor drives, and other belt-driven equipment found in commercial HVAC systems, manufacturing facilities, and mechanical rooms. The fixed-style design is appropriate for applications where the drive geometry is stable and the mounting angle can be set once and locked during installation or belt replacement service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFixed angle design holds set belt tension without spring-loaded mechanism\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCast iron construction for rigidity and resistance to wear in drive environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBore diameter of 0.938 inches suits standard shaft sizing in V-belt drive setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold as a single unit with no minimum order requirement beyond one piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact form factor suitable for space-constrained drive assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or service component for V-belt drive systems requiring a fixed angle tightener with a 0.938-inch bore diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by a licensed millwright or qualified mechanical technician. De-energize and lock out the drive motor before beginning any belt or tensioner service in accordance with applicable OSHA lockout\/tagout procedures. Confirm shaft diameter matches the 0.938-inch bore before installation. Do not overtighten mounting fasteners, as cast iron housings can crack under excessive load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Fixed Angle Drive Tightener\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle\u003c\/strong\u003e: Drive Tighteners and Idlers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBore Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.938 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cast Iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.8 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 26111800\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: BROWNING\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1296862\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BROWNING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51539196215602,"sku":"1296862","price":127.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/7b0e653d8d3a94d799ccefcaa733bdb9.jpg?v=1785836451","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/browning-1296862-fixed-angle-drive-tightener-cast-iron","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
