About STEP PULLEY
Based in Rajkot, Gujarat, we are a 1998-established company engaged in manufacturing, supplying, and exporting supreme-grade Step Pulley. It is most commonly found in drill presses and various other equipment for rotational purposes. This pulley can produce different operational speed just by changing the belt to a different size. It is always operated in pairs so any change on one pulley will directly be seen in another pulley as well. This Step Pulley is generally used in two-to-four pulley configurations or can be custom designed as per requirements.
Features:
Versatile Design and CustomizationStep pulleys are offered with 2 to 8 steps, supporting a wide range of diameter options from 100 mm to 500 mm and bore sizes tailored between 20 mm and 60 mm. Users can select groove types, wheel sizes, and number of wheels (single or multi-step) to fit specific applications, ensuring optimal compatibility and efficiency for various power transmission needs.
Durable Materials and FinishingCrafted from cast iron, steel, or aluminum, our step pulleys are treated with anti-corrosive coatings, powder finishes, or customer-specified treatments. The robust 180-230 HB hardness (for cast iron) and ISO-standard tolerance guarantee long service life and resistance to challenging operational environments, including temperature extremes from -20C to +120C.
Flexible Mounting and Industrial ApplicationsWith options including keyed, taper lock, or plain bore mounting, our step pulleys are suitable for use in speed variation systems, power transmission units, and other mechanical set-ups across manufacturing industries. Their corrosion resistance, customizable sizes, and broad compatibility enable effective integration into a wide array of machinery.
FAQs of STEP PULLEY:
Q: How do I select the appropriate step pulley for my machinery?
A: To choose the right step pulley, consider the required number of speed variations (28 steps), compatible bore size (20 mm to 60 mm), groove type for your belt (V-Groove, Flat Groove, or Poly-V), and your desired mounting configuration (keyed, taper lock, or plain bore). Specify the load and dimensions needed to meet your equipments requirements.
Q: What types of belts are compatible with these step pulleys?
A: Our step pulleys are designed to work with V-Belt, Flat Belt, and Poly-V Belt configurations. The choice of groove type should match the belt you intend to use to ensure smooth operation and optimized power transmission.
Q: Where are step pulleys commonly used?
A: Step pulleys are commonly implemented in manufacturing systems, workshops, and machinery where speed variation is required. Industries such as textile, metalworking, and packaging benefit from their use in drills, lathes, and conveyor applications.
Q: What is the manufacturing process for step pulleys?
A: Step pulleys are produced from high-quality cast iron, steel, or aluminum, using advanced casting or machining processes. After shaping and precision boring, each pulley is treated for corrosion resistance with powder coating, painting, or customer-specified finishes, ensuring durability and longevity.
Q: When should I opt for a keyed, taper lock, or plain bore mounting?
A: Keyed mountings offer secure shaft connection for high-torque applications, taper lock types facilitate easy installation and removal, while plain bore options suit custom fitting or low-torque setups. The choice depends on your systems operational demands and maintenance preferences.
Q: How does using a step pulley benefit my equipment?
A: Integrating a step pulley enables quick and precise speed adjustments, increases machinery versatility, and enhances system efficiency. Additionally, their durable construction and anti-corrosive treatments minimize maintenance, thereby extending the operational life of your equipment.
