Variable Speed Pulley

variable speed pulley

This is a variable speed pulley with a 6" outer diameter and one groove. It fits a variety of widely available, variable-speed belts suitable for use in many existing power transmission drives, including conveyors, printing presses, and bottle-filling machines. This pulley has lightweight, aluminum anodized flanges that decrease vibration in the drive which reduces overall noise. It works with both adjustable- and fixed-center drives and is designed for variable-speed applications requiring speed changes. It has one groove for use with single belts. V-belt pulleys (sheaves) are used in a wide range of mechanical and electronic drives, including HVAC units, farm machinery, food processing equipment, and home appliances, among others.

V-belt pulleys (sheaves) are the component in a power transmission drive that transmits power to the belt. Typically made of cast iron, the pulleys and the V-belts that loop around them match in form – wide (classical) or narrow, single or multi-grooved. V-belt pulleys are found in drive designs in the agriculture, textile, printing, mining, and office equipment industries.
