Improved chain tensioning for top beam configuration

OK, so I just wanted to show the community what I came up with for a Pulley and Counter Weight Tension system. Simple, effective and inexpensive. This would be better if the top Pulleys were larger but they are what I could find locally. I used 2 paving stone style bricks, some 110 lb. Para-cord, a set of rollers for a sliding door found at my local big box store and some L brackets to mount the Pulleys/Rollers. Total cost was less then 10 bucks as the bricks I got from a friend. Anywhere the co…

Improved chain tensioning for top beam configuration

This is my solution to the chain tension problem [IMG_2253] (after spooling my chain once).[IMG_2251] I made two small rolling sleds that holds the chains and are have constant tension by a center weight. The center sled is free to move and redirects the line of pull over the top to weights behind. It uses (two) 2.5# weights (not shown) to pull on each small chain sled to keep the chain under constant a pressure. It keeps the chain on the same plane as the sprocket and out of the way of loadin…
