Pulley Castings with V-Groove

Suitable For Use In Harsh Environments:
Since the rolling elements of the bearing in the roller are not in direct contact with the guide rail, and the bearing has good sealing, the V-type pulley can still maintain good performance in harsh environments. CUB's V guide technology also allows dust, chip and other impurs to be removed from the V guide surface through the "scavenging" movement to keep the V guide surface clean.

Faster Line Speed:
The rolling of the V pulley on the V rail surface can achieve a very high line speed, which lowers the accuracy requirements of the installation reference and increases the processing efficiency.

Lower Maintenance And Replacement Costs:
The V guide pulley casting can replace the wear rail or wheel separately, without the need to replace all, which reduces maintenance and replacement costs.

Longer Service Life:
The roller guide has a much longer life than the roller bearing, and in many cases, only the roller needs to be replaced, and then the required preload is obtained by adjusting the eccentricity of the eccentric roller.

Integral Rack Guide:
Linear guide can be directly cut out on the guide rail helical teeth, do not need to design another set of gear drive system, which simplifies the mechanical design.

Provide Higher Processing Accuracy And Better Cutting Effect:
The V pulley is suitable for the processing of metal and hard materials, and can provide better processing accuracy and cutting effect.

V-groove pulley castings have broad application prospects in automation equipment and robot applications because of their adaptability in harsh environments, high-speed processing capabilities, low maintenance costs, long service life, and high machining accuracy and cutting effects.

As disc-hub parts, pulleys are generally relatively large in size, and casting and forging are the major manufacturing processes. Casting is normally for the design of larger size, and the material is generally cast iron (good casting performance), rarely cast steel (poor casting performance); while the smaller size can be designed as forging with the material as steel. Pulleys are mainly used for long-distance transmission of power, such as mining machinery, machining equipment, textile machinery, packaging machinery, lathes, forging machines, etc.

The selection of various indicators and materials of the pulley is based on the principle of raw materials minimisation, feasible technology and lowest cost under the premise of meeting the usage requirements.

The Advantages Of Belt Pulley Transmission:

• Pulley transmission can ease load impact;
• Pulley transmission runs smoothly, with low noise and vibration;
• The structure of the pulley transmission is simple and easy to adjust;
• The manufacturing and installation accuracy of the pulley for the pulley transmission is not required as strict as for the meshing drive.

How To Measure A V-Belt Pulley
Step 1: First, measure the outside diameter (OD) of the pulley.

Step 2: Next, measure the pitch diameter (PD). This measurement represents the diameter of the belt itself as it rides in the pulley. This step is not necessary if you already know your V-belt size or if the pulley and belt are significantly worn.

Step 3: Measure the wall thickness of the pulley.

Step 4: Measure the overall width of the belt housing, where the belt actually rides in the pulley.

Step 5: If the pulley has a hub extending past the "belt housing" width it is typically a best practice to measure the extension of the hub.

Step 6: The final measurement is the complete overall width of the pulley. This will in most cases designate the belt-type or series used.
