Product Description
Conveyor Pulley is manufactured as per customer requirement,with main design under national standard,quality inspection focusing on shaft core,welded joint,rubber material and hardness,dynamic balance and so on for longer product life time.
| Drive/Head Pulley – A conveyor pulley used for the purpose of driving a conveyor belt. Typically mounted in external bearings and driven by an external drive source. |
| Return/Tail Pulley – A conveyor pulley used for the purpose of redirecting a conveyor belt back to the drive pulley. Tail pulleys can utilize internal bearings or can be mounted in external bearings and are typically located at the end of the conveyor bed. Tail pulleys commonly serve the purpose of a Take-Up pulley on conveyors of shorter lengths. |
| Snub Pulley – A conveyor pulley used to increase belt wrap around a drive pulley, typically for the purpose of improving traction. |
| Take-Up Pulley – A conveyor pulley used to remove slack and provide tension to a conveyor belt. Take-Up pulleys are more common to conveyors of longer lengths. |
| Bend Pulley – A conveyor pulley used to redirect the belt and provide belt tension where bends occur in the conveyor system. |
The specification of pulley:
Drive Drum: is the main component of power transmission. The drum can be divided into single drum (the angle of the belt to the drum is 210 ° ~ 230 °) , Double Drum (the angle of the belt to the drum is up to 350 °) and
multi-drum (used for high power) .
Bend Drum: is used for changing the running direction of the conveyor belt or increasing the surrounding angle of the conveyor belt on the driving roller, and the roller adopts a smooth rubber surface . The drum shaft shall be forgings and shall be nondestructive tested and the inspection report shall be provided.
The Various Surface of Pulley:
Conveyor pulley lagging is essential to improve conveyor belt performance, the combination of our pulley lagging can reduces belt slippage, improve tracking and extends life of belt, bearing & other components.
| PLAIN LAGGING:This style of finish is suitable for any pulley in the conveyor system where watershed is not necessary. It provides additional protection against belt wear, therefore, increasing the life of the pulley. |
| DIAMOND GROOVE LAGGING:This is the standard pattern on all Specdrum lagged conveyor pulleys. It is primarily used for reversing conveyor drive pulleys. It is also often used to allow bi-directional pulley rotation, and the pattern allows water to be dispersed away from the belt. |
| HERRINGBONE LAGGING:The herringbone pattern’s grooves are in the direction of rotation, and offers superior tractive properties. Each groove allows water and other liquids to escape between the face of the drum pulley and the belt. Herringbone grooved pulleys are directional and should be applied to the conveyor in a manner in which the grooves point toward the direction of the belt travel. |
| CHEVRON LAGGING:Some customers specify that the points of the groove should meet – as done in Chevron styled lagging. As before with the herringbone style, this would be used on drive drum pulleys and should be fitted in the correct manner, so as to allow proper use of the pattern and water dispersion also. |
| CERAMIC LAGGING:The Ceramic tiles are moulded into the lagging which is then cold bonded to the drum pulley. This style of finish allows excellent traction and reduces slippage, meaning that the belt tension is lower and, therefore as a result, increases the life of the pulley. |
| WELD-ON STRIP LAGGING: Weld-On Strip Lagging can be applied to bi-directional pulleys, and also has a finish to allow the easy dispersion of water or any fluids between the drum pulley and the belt. |
The Components of Pulley:
| 1. Drum or Shell:The drum is the portion of the pulley in direct contact with the belt. The shell is fabricated from either a rolled sheet of steel or from hollow steel tubing. |
| 2.Diaphragm Plates: The diaphragm or end plates of a pulley are circular discs which are fabricated from thick steel plate and which are welded into the shell at each end, to strengthen the drum.The end plates are bored in their centre to accommodate the pulley Shaft and the hubs for the pulley locking elements. |
| 3.Shaft :The shaft is designed to accommodate all the applied forces from the belt and / or the drive unit, with minimum deflection. The shaft is located and locked to the hubs of the end discs by means of a locking elements. The shaft and hence pulley shafts are often stepped. |
| 4.Locking Elements:These are high-precision manufactured items which are fitted over the shaft and into the pulley hubs. The locking elements attach the pulley firmly to the shaft via the end plates. |
| 5.Hubs:The hubs are fabricated and machined housings which are welded into the end plates. |
| 6.Lagging: It is sometimes necessary or desirable to improve the friction between the conveyor belt and the pulley in order to improve the torque that can be transmitted through a drive pulley. Improved traction over a pulley also assists with the training of the belt. In such cases pulley drum surfaces are `lagged` or covered in a rubberized material. |
| 7.Bearing: Bearings used for conveyor pulleys are generally spherical roller bearings, chosen for their radial and axial load supporting characteristics. The bearings are self-aligning relative to their raceways, which means that the bearings can be ‘misaligned’ relative to the shaft and plummer blocks, to a certain degree. In practical terms this implies that the bending of the shaft under loaded conditions as well as minor misalignment of the pulley support structure, can be accommodated by the bearing. |

What is the difference between a fixed and a swivel pulley?
Fixed and swivel pulleys are two common types of pulleys that differ in their design and functionality. Here are the key differences between these two types:
1. Fixed Pulley: A fixed pulley is a type of pulley that is mounted or attached to a fixed point, such as a beam or a ceiling. It does not move or rotate independently of its mounting point. The primary function of a fixed pulley is to change the direction of the force applied to a rope or cable. When a force is applied to the rope or cable passing through a fixed pulley, the load moves in the opposite direction. However, a fixed pulley does not provide any mechanical advantage, meaning it does not reduce the effort required to lift the load.
2. Swivel Pulley: A swivel pulley, also known as a movable pulley, is designed to rotate or swivel on a separate mounting point. It has a built-in mechanism that allows it to move independently. Unlike a fixed pulley, a swivel pulley is capable of changing both the direction and the magnitude of the force applied to the rope or cable. When a force is applied to the rope or cable passing through a swivel pulley, the load moves in the same direction as the applied force. Additionally, a swivel pulley provides a mechanical advantage by distributing the load’s weight over multiple strands of rope or cable, reducing the effort required to lift the load.
In summary, the main differences between fixed and swivel pulleys are:
– Fixed pulleys are stationary and do not move independently, while swivel pulleys can rotate or swivel on a separate mounting point.
– Fixed pulleys change the direction of the force applied to the rope or cable, while swivel pulleys change both the direction and the magnitude of the force.
– Fixed pulleys do not provide a mechanical advantage, while swivel pulleys provide a mechanical advantage by distributing the load’s weight over multiple strands of rope or cable.
Both fixed and swivel pulleys have their specific applications and can be used individually or in combination with each other to achieve desired mechanical functions in various systems and setups.
Can pulleys be part of renewable energy systems like wind turbines?
Yes, pulleys can indeed be part of renewable energy systems like wind turbines. While wind turbines primarily rely on the force of the wind to generate electricity, pulleys are used in various components to facilitate the efficient conversion of wind energy into electrical power. Here’s how pulleys can be incorporated into wind turbines:
1. Rotor and Blade Pitch Control:
Pulleys are utilized in the rotor and blade pitch control mechanism of wind turbines. The rotor consists of multiple blades that capture the wind’s energy and convert it into rotational motion. To optimize the turbine’s performance, the pitch angle of the blades needs to be adjusted based on wind conditions. Pulleys and cables are employed to control the pitch angle, allowing the blades to be positioned at the optimal angle to maximize power output. The pulley system enables precise and synchronized blade adjustment, ensuring efficient wind capture.
2. Generator System:
In wind turbines, pulleys are also utilized in the generator system. The rotational motion of the turbine’s rotor is transferred to the generator through a series of mechanical components, including pulleys and belts or gears. The pulleys help to increase or decrease the rotational speed and torque as needed to match the generator’s requirements. This mechanical advantage provided by the pulleys ensures that the generator operates at its optimal speed, enhancing the efficiency of electricity generation.
3. Lifting and Maintenance Systems:
Pulleys are often incorporated into the lifting and maintenance systems of wind turbines. Wind turbine components, such as the nacelle (housing the generator and other equipment) and the rotor blades, are large and heavy, requiring periodic inspection, repair, and replacement. Pulley systems are employed to lift and lower these components during maintenance activities. The pulleys, along with cables and hoists, allow for controlled and safe handling of the heavy parts, enabling efficient maintenance and minimizing downtime.
4. Access Systems:
In larger wind turbines, pulleys are utilized in access systems that provide safe and efficient access to various parts of the turbine, including the nacelle and the rotor blades. Climbing systems or platforms equipped with pulleys allow technicians to ascend or descend the turbine structure, providing easy access for inspection, maintenance, and repairs. Pulleys facilitate the movement of personnel and equipment, ensuring the safety and efficiency of wind turbine operations.
By incorporating pulleys into these different aspects of wind turbines, renewable energy systems can benefit from increased efficiency, improved maintenance procedures, and enhanced safety measures. Pulleys contribute to the overall performance and reliability of wind turbines, enabling the harnessing of wind energy for clean and sustainable electricity generation.
How does a fixed pulley differ from a movable pulley?
A fixed pulley and a movable pulley are two distinct types of pulleys that differ in their design and functionality. Here’s a detailed explanation of their differences:
1. Design and Attachment: A fixed pulley is attached to a stationary structure, such as a ceiling or wall, using a mounting bracket or other means. It remains fixed in place and does not move during operation. In contrast, a movable pulley is attached to the load being moved and moves along with it. It is typically suspended by a rope or cable and can freely move up and down.
2. Mechanical Advantage: When it comes to mechanical advantage, a fixed pulley does not provide any advantage. It changes the direction of the force applied but does not reduce the effort required to lift the load. On the other hand, a movable pulley provides mechanical advantage by reducing the effort needed to lift the load. It distributes the load between the rope segments attached to the movable pulley and the fixed point, making it easier to lift heavy objects.
3. Force Distribution: In a fixed pulley, the force applied to one end of the rope or belt is redirected to change the direction of the force. The load is lifted by pulling the opposite end of the rope. In this case, the force required to lift the load is equal to the weight of the load itself. In a movable pulley, the load is attached to the movable pulley itself. The force required to lift the load is reduced because the weight of the load is distributed between the rope segments attached to the movable pulley and the fixed point.
4. Directional Change: Both fixed and movable pulleys are capable of changing the direction of the applied force. However, the primary function of a fixed pulley is to change the direction of force, while a movable pulley combines force direction change with mechanical advantage. The movable pulley allows the operator to exert force in a more convenient direction while requiring less effort to lift the load.
5. Applications: Fixed pulleys are commonly used in combination with other pulleys to create more complex systems, such as block and tackle arrangements. They are often used in scenarios where the primary objective is to change the direction of force. Movable pulleys, on the other hand, are frequently used in systems that require mechanical advantage or a reduction in the effort needed to lift heavy objects. They are often found in applications such as lifting systems, cranes, and elevators.
Overall, the key differences between a fixed pulley and a movable pulley lie in their design, mechanical advantage, force distribution, and applications. While a fixed pulley primarily changes the direction of force, a movable pulley combines force direction change with mechanical advantage, making it easier to lift heavy loads.
