ABSTRACT Monitoring Tension in an Elongate Flexible Member A method of monitoring the tension in a flexible drive belt which passes around a plurality of pulleys includes the steps of causing a portion of the belt when installed around the pulleys to vibrate at a natural frequency and detecting that frequency. In one arrangement the belt is set into a vibrating motion by an impulse and the frequency of the transient vibrations measured. In another arrangement the belt is vibrated by a drive mechanism which receives a drive signal derived from the belt movement. Specific methods and apparatus for monitoring the tension are also applied to measuring the tension in elongate flexible members other than drive belts.
