Conveyor pulley a hub and bushing on lower tension pulleys. The shell is also referred to as the rim in some parts of the world. The pulley shaft is typically sized following CEMA B105.1 in the Americas or AS 1403 in Australia. Pulley manufactures in Germany (DDR) in 1962 included Zemag, Lauchhammer, and Köthen. Conveyor pulley A conveyor pulley is a mechanical device used to change the direction of the belt in a conveyor system, to drive the belt, and to tension the belt. Modern pulleys are made of rolled shells with flexible end disks and locking assemblies. Early pulley engineering was
Wire rope sheave and rope diameters. A general dimensioning method of rope drives (and used besides the technical regulations) calculate the five limits The calculation of the rope drive limits depends on: The wire ropes are stressed by fluctuating forces, by wear, by corrosion and in seldom cases by extreme forces. The rope life is finite and the safety is only ensured by inspection for the detection of wire breaks on a reference rope length, of cross-section loss, as well as other failures so that the wire rope can be replaced before a dangerous situation occurs. Installations should be designed to facilitate
