Author Topic: Motor and shutter belt in Vic 5 Gunnar Asgeirsson Film Handler Posts: 64 From: Iceland Registered: Jul 2006 posted 10-06-2010 09:41 AM                        Hello, I am reading the spare parts manual for Cinemeccanica Victoria 5 I am looking for the part numbers for the motor and shutter belt. Only part number that i can find is V5-170 for this belt and i just wanted to make shure is the motor and shut belt the same size? Because i can only find this one part number V5-170.  |  IP: Logged Demetris Thoupis Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1240 From: Aradippou, Larnaca, Cyprus Registered: Apr 2001 posted 10-06-2010 04:54 PM                     Yes the two belts are identical. I am not at the office but I remember that the code number is 463XL or something like that but I can confirm tomorrow.

The belt can actually be ordered with the following code numbers: 3201028 (this is the current order number) 5V170 (This is from the greenish and late silverish era) 434XL050 (this is the original code number) On all models there is some kind of way to tension the belt with the main pulley. On the older models a sliding metal roller was used to tension the belt between the motor and the pulley. On newer models the motor mounting screws are on a sliding type or mounting so you slide the complete motor back and forth to get the correct tension of the belt.

The pulley is " wobbling ". I cannot get the threaded ring that holds the bearing and clutch in to unscrew. Is there a special tool for this? It has two rectangle indents on the ring.  |  IP: Logged Demetris Thoupis Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1240 From: Aradippou, Larnaca, Cyprus Registered: Apr 2001 posted 10-12-2010 10:39 AM                     Can you post some pics of the problem?

Registered: Apr 2001 posted 10-12-2010 03:45 PM                     Sorry but there is no clutch in the Vic 5.... as already posted a pic of the problem part(s) would be helpful. Each sprocket shaft has two bearings which are contained in a tube which fits into the casing. The clips pictured in the above post hold the bearings in place. If the shafts are wobbling then the bearings need replacing and possibly the shaft if its been running like that for a long time. If the bearing is not running correctly the shaft will turn within and wear quite quickly as they are quite soft. Too much belt tension is the most likely cause of premature bearing and or shaft wear. Some pics please.  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 10-12-2010 09:14 PM                     Actually the vic 5 did have a clutch option for a onboard rewind  |  IP: Logged Randy Bowden Expert Film Handler Posts: 146 From: Portland, OR, USA Registered: Aug 2000 posted 10-12-2010 09:27 PM                     Ron, It sounds to me like the problem you are encountering is with the shutter driver? (it has a threaded ring behind the drive pulley with 2 rectangular slots) yes it does require a special tool to remove it, but you should just replace the entire shutter driver.  |  IP: Logged Ron Lacheur Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 650 From: British Columbia, Canada Registered: Feb 2002 posted 10-14-2010 12:04 AM                     Thanks for the replies! Here's the image. The indented tabs I'm referring to are on the circular ring around the flat head screw that holds the pulley to the shaft. If I took the pulley in front off, it's easier to see but I just had a few minutes to snap off a photo. There's definitely a clutch in there, it's in the back of the pulley with a sealed bearing in the front. Randy, is this a tool that is specific to this projector? or any tool supplier would have this?  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 10-14-2010 07:51 PM                     Is that the upper sprocket if so it is for the onboard rewind system they offered  |  IP: Logged
