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
Elevator the ropes by the grip of the grooves in the sheave, thereby the name. As the ropes age and the traction grooves wear, some traction is lost and the ropes must be replaced and the sheave repaired or replaced. Sheave and rope wear may be significantly reduced by ensuring that all ropes have equal tension, thus sharing the load evenly. Rope tension equalization may be achieved using a rope tension gauge, and is a simple way to extend the lifetime of the sheaves and ropes. Elevators with more than of travel have a system called compensation. This is a separate
