Industrial - Belts, Pulleys & Sheaves

In the heart of factories, workshops, and production lines, industrial belts, pulleys and sheaves orchestrate the symphony of machinery. These unassuming components are the backbone of mechanical systems, ensuring smooth power transmission, precise timing, and reliable operation. 

Industrial belts come in various forms, each tailored to specific applications:

• V-Belts: These trapezoidal belts fit into V-shaped grooves on pulleys, providing excellent traction and preventing slippage. V-belts are commonly used in machinery, automotive engines, and HVAC systems.
• Timing Belts: Also known as synchronous belts, these toothed belts mesh with corresponding pulley teeth, ensuring precise timing in applications like conveyor systems, printers, and CNC machines.
• Flat Belts: Simple and versatile, flat belts transmit power between pulleys in applications such as textile mills, packaging lines, and woodworking machinery.
• Poly-V Belts: Combining the benefits of V-belts and flat belts, poly-V belts have multiple ribs for increased surface area and higher power transmission efficiency.

Industrial pulley types:

• Fixed Pulleys: Attached to a fixed point, these pulleys change the direction of force without altering its magnitude.
• Movable Pulleys: Suspended by a rope or belt, movable pulleys reduce the effort required to lift heavy loads.
• Compound Pulleys: Combining fixed and movable pulleys, compound systems provide mechanical advantage for lifting tasks.
• Idler Pulleys: These pulleys maintain tension in belts, preventing slack and ensuring efficient power transmission.
