Pulleys

V-Belt Pulleys

• Related terms: V pulleys, vee belt pulleys, V-groove pulleys, wedge belt pulleys
• Grooved pulleys designed to run with V-belts and wedge belts, transmitting power through the wedging action of the belt in the groove. Available in single and multi-groove designs, they are used in industrial drives, compressors, pumps, fans and agricultural machinery.

Timing Belt Pulleys

• Related terms: timing pulleys, synchronous pulleys, toothed pulleys, HTD pulleys
• Toothed pulleys that mesh with matching timing belts to provide positive, slip-free drive. They maintain precise speed ratios and positioning, making them essential in CNC machinery, robotics, printers, packaging lines and automation equipment.

Bar Stock Timing Pulleys

• Related terms: timing pulley bar stock, toothed bar stock, pulley blanks, timing pulley stock
• Lengths of pre-toothed bar material that can be cut and machined to create custom timing pulleys. They give engineers and workshops the flexibility to produce non-standard widths, bores and features for prototypes, repairs and bespoke drive systems.

Belt Tension Pulleys

• Related terms: idler pulleys, tensioner pulleys, jockey pulleys, belt idlers
• Pulleys used to apply and maintain the correct tension on a drive belt, or to guide the belt around obstacles. Proper tensioning reduces slippage, vibration and wear, helping to extend belt and bearing life across industrial and agricultural drives.

Tapered Bore Pulleys

• Related terms: taper lock pulleys, taper bush pulleys, taper bore pulleys, QD pulleys
• Pulleys with a tapered bore designed to accept a matching taper bush, which clamps securely onto the shaft when tightened. This system allows quick, accurate fitting and removal without machining the pulley, and makes it easy to use one pulley across different shaft sizes.
