Sheave or sprocket tension adjustment and alignment tool

A sheave or sprocket tension adjustment and alignment tool (STAT) for adjusting alignment between a sheave/sprocket of the motor and a sheave/sprocket of an application machine, the motor being adjustably mounted on a motor mounting base, the motor mounting base comprising one or more elongated apertures, each of which has an aperture width and an aperture length, the aperture length being substantially greater than the aperture width, the motor having one or more motor feet, and each of the one or more motor feet is slidably fixed onto the motor mounting base and slidable along one of the one or more elongated apertures, the STAT comprising:

• a plate having a first side and a second side, each of which is on an opposite side of a plane of the plate;
• a securing unit that is coupled to the first side of the plate and protrudes in a first direction from the first side of the plate to be inserted into one of the one or more elongated apertures of the motor mounting base, the first direction intersects the plane of the plate;
• and
• an adjusting unit that is coupled to the second side of the plate, the adjusting unit comprising an adjustable protrusion that is configured to adjustably protrude in a second direction, the second direction is substantially parallel to the plane of the plate,
• wherein after the securing unit is inserted into the elongated aperture of the motor mounting base, the adjustable protrusion of the adjusting unit is adjustable to further protrude in the second direction to wedge the STAT between the corresponding motor foot and an end of the elongated aperture, and to apply a force onto the corresponding motor foot to cause the motor foot to move along the elongated aperture toward the second direction.
