run-off tendency

Cylindrical pulleys which are not at right angles to the belt running direction are not self-tracking and so, with changes in run-off tendency will need to be reset.

I started as such: Les poulies cylindriques qui ne sont pas situées perpendiculairement au sens d'avancement de la courroie ne s'alignent pas automatiquement et doivent, du fait des changements...

Comme je le comprends:
leur tendance à se désaligner évolue et elles doivent être remises en place

@ Asker There seems to be something slightly odd about your source text; it feels to me as if there may be a comma missing, like this:

"Cylindrical pulleys which are not at right angles to the belt running direction are not self-tracking and so, with changes in run-off tendency, will need to be reset."

However, it still reads rather oddly, and other interpretations may be possible. I have to say I'm not entirely sure what they are getting at — obviously if a pulley is not at right-angles to the running direction, the belt is very likely to come off sooner rather than later! I wonder if they are actually trying to say "If cylindrical pulleys are not at right angles, as they are not self-tracking, they will have a variable run-off tendency and will have to be reset (to make them at 90°)" — but that's quite a lot of rewriting! So perhaps it's just me who am not following...

tendance à s'égarer / s'écarter

Mais on pourrait refaçonner cette possibilité avec des substantifs - 'tendance d'écart' par exemple ou omettre 'tendance'.
