Belt Pulleys

Belt pulleys are essential components in mechanical and industrial applications, designed to transmit power between shafts via belts. These pulleys come in various sizes and materials, including cast iron, aluminium, and steel, to accommodate different operational needs. Belt pulleys are widely used in machinery, automotive engines, conveyor systems, and HVAC units due to their efficiency and reliability in power transmission. They work by increasing or decreasing rotational speed and torque, making them crucial in optimising machinery performance.

What Are the Potential Benefits of Belt Pulleys

• Transfer rotational motion between shafts.
• Alter rotational speed and torque.
• Synchronise mechanical operations.
• Reduces power loss in transmission.
• Suitable for a wide range of applications.
• Made using robust materials to handle harsh conditions.
