Pulley wheels are rotating hubs fitted to axles or shafts. They are designed to be used with V belts or timing belts and transmit power along that shaft.

A V pulley is designed to rotate when a V belt is wedged into its groove under power. This creates a continuous drive in the pulley, giving it very high torque ratings. The diameter of a pulley is directly linked to the increase or decrease in resulting power. Pulleys can also have multiple grooves, allowing the use of multiple belts or a single banded belt to facilitate more power. Alternatively, a single pulley with two or more grooves can be used to power multiple other pulleys in a machine from a single power source.
Timing pulleys differ in that they are designed to interlock with a matching belt, ensuring that when the belt turns, the pulley will turn according to a set ratio with high precision and no slippage.

Our pulleys are made from cast iron as standard, although lighter materials like aluminium or stronger ones such as steel can be special ordered.
