Product Description
Product Description
A conveyor will always consist of at least 2 pulleys, head pulley and tail pulley, with additional pulleys used depending on the configuration. Standard-duty pulleys are usually adequate for simple applications, but mine-duty and engineered pulleys are also available where heavy-duty pulleys are required.
Different kinds of conveyor pulleys
KONWEYOUR sells conveyor pulleys in all the following sub-categories:
Head pulleys
The head pulley is located at the discharge point of the conveyor. It usually drives the conveyor and often has a larger diameter than other pulleys. For better traction, the head pulley is usually lagged (with either rubber or ceramic lagging material).
Tail and CHINAMFG pulleys
The tail pulley is located at the loading end of the belt. It comes with either a flat face or a slatted profile (wing pulley), which cleans the belt by allowing material to fall between the support members.
Snub pulleys
A snub pulley improves the traction of the drive pulley, by increasing its belt wrap angle.
Drive pulleys
Drive pulleys, which can also be the head pulley, are driven by a motor and power transmission unit to propel the belt and material to the discharge.
Bend pulleys
A bend pulley is used for changing the direction of the belt.
Take-up pulley
A take-up pulley is used to provide the belt with the proper amount of tension. Its position is adjustable.

What are the primary components and design features of a V pulley?
A V pulley, also known as a V-belt pulley or sheave, consists of several primary components and design features that enable its functionality. Here’s an explanation of the primary components and design features of a V pulley:
1. Body:
The body of a V pulley is the main structural component. It is typically made of metal, such as cast iron or steel, to provide strength and durability. The body is designed to support the V-belt and transmit power from the driving source to the driven component. It may have a solid construction or be split into two halves for easy installation or replacement.
2. Groove:
The groove is a key design feature of a V pulley. It is a V-shaped channel or groove that runs along the outer circumference of the pulley. The groove is specifically designed to accommodate the V-belt with a corresponding trapezoidal cross-section. The V shape of the groove enhances the grip between the pulley and the belt, ensuring efficient power transmission and reducing the risk of slippage.
3. Diameter:
The diameter of a V pulley refers to the distance across its outer circumference. It plays a crucial role in determining the speed ratio and torque transmission of the power transmission system. By changing the diameter of the pulley, different speed ratios can be achieved between the driving source and the driven component. Larger pulley diameters generally result in higher belt speeds and lower torque, while smaller diameters lead to slower belt speeds and higher torque.
4. Number of Grooves:
V pulleys can have a single groove or multiple grooves, depending on the specific application. The number of grooves corresponds to the number of V-belts used in the power transmission system. Multiple grooves allow for the simultaneous power transmission to multiple driven components, such as in systems with multiple accessories or pulleys in automotive engines.
5. Tapered or Straight Design:
V pulleys can have a tapered or straight design, depending on the requirements of the application. Tapered pulleys are wider at one end and narrower at the other, allowing for easier belt installation and improved belt tracking. Straight pulleys have a consistent width along their entire circumference and are commonly used in applications where belt tracking is not a significant concern.
6. Surface Finish:
The surface finish of a V pulley is important for optimizing the performance and lifespan of the V-belt. The pulley’s surface should be smooth and free from any roughness or irregularities that could cause excessive belt wear or damage. Proper surface finish ensures proper belt contact, reduces friction, and enhances the overall efficiency of the power transmission system.
7. Mounting Mechanism:
V pulleys are mounted on shafts or bearings using various mounting mechanisms, such as set screws, bolts, or keyways. The mounting mechanism ensures secure and reliable attachment of the pulley to the rotating shaft, allowing for the transmission of rotational motion and torque.
By considering these primary components and design features, engineers can select and design V pulleys that are suitable for specific applications, ensuring efficient power transmission and reliable operation in mechanical systems.
