Conveyor Pulley

Pulleys are rotary components, used in belt conveyors, which have the function of transmitting movement, diverting direction or even stretching the belt. This equipment consists of four main structural components: the shaft, the hub, the disc and the cylinder.The pulleys are also composed of the expansion rings, which are commonly used to couple the shaft to the hub, and of the housings and bearings, which will be responsible for allowing the pulleys to rotate. For this reason, initially the bearing is selected and, based on its definition, the housing is selected, since each bearing requires a specific housing. Bearings and housings are selected based on minimum fatigue life requirements and bearing support load limits.
