Regarding belt tension. Goal is to get engagement with the minimum amount of tension. This ensures the bearings on motor and driven pulley shafts are not overloaded.
I work with very large bearing and or bushed machines. (Crushing equipment). Standard rule of thumb is 1/64” of deflection per inch of distance between the shaft centers at 22lbf We usually avoid tensions greater than 30lbf. With the smaller bearing diameter I suspect target force is lower.
