Product Description
Product Description
A conveyor will always consist of at least 2 pulleys, head pulley and tail pulley, with additional pulleys used depending on the configuration. Standard-duty pulleys are usually adequate for simple applications, but mine-duty and engineered pulleys are also available where heavy-duty pulleys are required.
Different kinds of conveyor pulleys
KONWEYOUR sells conveyor pulleys in all the following sub-categories:
Head pulleys
The head pulley is located at the discharge point of the conveyor. It usually drives the conveyor and often has a larger diameter than other pulleys. For better traction, the head pulley is usually lagged (with either rubber or ceramic lagging material).
Tail and CHINAMFG pulleys
The tail pulley is located at the loading end of the belt. It comes with either a flat face or a slatted profile (wing pulley), which cleans the belt by allowing material to fall between the support members.
Snub pulleys
A snub pulley improves the traction of the drive pulley, by increasing its belt wrap angle.
Drive pulleys
Drive pulleys, which can also be the head pulley, are driven by a motor and power transmission unit to propel the belt and material to the discharge.
Bend pulleys
A bend pulley is used for changing the direction of the belt.
Take-up pulley
A take-up pulley is used to provide the belt with the proper amount of tension. Its position is adjustable.

How does the diameter of a pulley affect its mechanical advantage?
The diameter of a pulley plays a significant role in determining its mechanical advantage. Mechanical advantage refers to the ratio of the output force or load to the input force or effort applied to the pulley system. Here’s how the diameter of a pulley affects its mechanical advantage:
1. Larger Diameter: When the diameter of a pulley increases, the mechanical advantage also increases. A larger diameter means that the circumference of the pulley is greater, allowing a longer length of rope or belt to be wrapped around it. As a result, a larger pulley requires less effort force to lift a given load. This is because the load is distributed over a greater length of rope or belt, reducing the force required to overcome the load.
2. Smaller Diameter: Conversely, when the diameter of a pulley decreases, the mechanical advantage decreases. A smaller diameter means that the circumference of the pulley is reduced, resulting in a shorter length of rope or belt wrapped around it. As a result, a smaller pulley requires more effort force to lift a given load. This is because the load is concentrated over a shorter length of rope or belt, requiring a greater force to overcome the load.
It’s important to note that while a larger diameter pulley offers a greater mechanical advantage in terms of reducing the effort force required, it also results in a slower speed of the load being lifted. This is because the longer length of rope or belt requires more input distance to achieve a given output distance. On the other hand, a smaller diameter pulley offers a lower mechanical advantage but allows for a faster speed of the load being lifted.
The mechanical advantage of a pulley system can be calculated using the formula:
Mechanical Advantage = Load / Effort
Where “Load” refers to the weight or force being lifted and “Effort” refers to the force applied to the pulley system. By adjusting the diameter of the pulley, the mechanical advantage can be optimized to suit the specific requirements of the application, balancing the effort force and speed of the load being lifted.
How do pulleys contribute to the functioning of bicycles and motorcycles?
Pulleys play important roles in the functioning of both bicycles and motorcycles, aiding in power transmission, speed control, and overall mechanical efficiency. Here’s how pulleys contribute to the operation of these vehicles:
1. Bicycles:
– Derailleur System: In most modern bicycles, pulleys are used in the derailleur system. The derailleur is responsible for shifting the bicycle chain between different gears on the front and rear sprockets. Pulleys, often referred to as jockey wheels, are positioned in the derailleur to guide and tension the chain as it moves between gears. They ensure smooth and precise shifting, allowing the rider to adapt to various terrains and maintain an optimal pedaling cadence.
– Belt Drive Systems: Some bicycles use a belt drive instead of a traditional chain drive. Belt drives employ a pulley system that consists of a front pulley attached to the pedal crank and a rear pulley attached to the rear wheel hub. The belt is wrapped around these pulleys, transferring power from the rider’s pedaling motion to propel the bicycle forward. Pulleys in belt drive systems enable efficient power transfer, reduce maintenance needs, and provide a quieter and cleaner alternative to chain drives.
2. Motorcycles:
– Clutch System: Pulleys, known as clutch pulleys, are utilized in motorcycle clutch systems. The clutch connects the engine to the transmission and allows the rider to engage or disengage power transmission to the rear wheel. When the clutch lever is pulled, the clutch pulley separates the engine’s rotational motion from the transmission, disengaging power transfer. Releasing the clutch lever brings the pulley back into contact, engaging power transmission and enabling the motorcycle to move.
– Variable Transmission Systems: Some motorcycles employ pulleys in variable transmission systems, such as continuously variable transmissions (CVT). CVTs use a pair of pulleys connected by a belt or chain. By changing the diameter of the pulleys, the CVT adjusts the gear ratio continuously, providing seamless and efficient power delivery across a wide range of speeds. Pulleys in variable transmission systems contribute to smooth acceleration, improved fuel efficiency, and enhanced riding comfort.
– Drive Belt Systems: Pulleys are also utilized in motorcycles equipped with belt drive systems. Similar to bicycles, these systems consist of a front pulley connected to the engine’s crankshaft and a rear pulley connected to the rear wheel. The belt runs around these pulleys, transferring power from the engine to the rear wheel. Belt drive systems offer advantages such as reduced maintenance, quieter operation, and smoother power delivery compared to traditional chain drives.
Overall, pulleys are integral components in bicycles and motorcycles, contributing to smooth gear shifting, efficient power transmission, and improved overall performance. Whether in derailleur systems, belt drive systems, clutch systems, or variable transmission systems, pulleys play a vital role in enhancing the functionality and ride experience of these vehicles.
What are the different types of pulleys commonly used in industry?
Pulleys are widely used in various industries for different applications. Here are the different types of pulleys commonly used:
1. Fixed Pulleys: Fixed pulleys are attached to a stationary structure, such as a ceiling or wall. They change the direction of the force applied without providing any mechanical advantage. Fixed pulleys are often used in combination with other pulleys to create more complex systems.
2. Movable Pulleys: Movable pulleys are attached to the load being moved, and they move along with it. These pulleys provide mechanical advantage by reducing the effort required to lift the load. Movable pulleys are commonly used in systems such as block and tackle arrangements to lift heavy objects with less force.
3. Compound Pulleys: Compound pulleys consist of a combination of fixed and movable pulleys. They provide a greater mechanical advantage than a single pulley by distributing the load over multiple segments of the rope or belt. Compound pulley systems are often used in applications that require lifting extremely heavy loads.
4. Snatch Blocks: Snatch blocks are pulleys with a side plate that can be opened to insert or remove a rope or cable without threading it through the pulley. They are commonly used in rigging and towing applications to change the direction of force and create a mechanical advantage.
5. V-Belt Pulleys: V-belt pulleys have a V-shaped groove that matches the cross-section of V-belts. They are used in belt drive systems to transmit power between two shafts. V-belt pulleys are commonly found in applications such as industrial machinery, automotive engines, and HVAC systems.
6. Timing Pulleys: Timing pulleys have teeth that mesh with the teeth of a timing belt. They are used in synchronous drive systems to ensure accurate and synchronized power transmission. Timing pulleys are commonly used in applications such as robotics, printing presses, and CNC machines.
7. Rope Pulleys: Rope pulleys have a smooth surface designed to minimize friction and prevent wear on ropes. They are commonly used in applications where ropes are used for lifting or pulling, such as cranes, elevators, and material handling equipment.
8. Wire Rope Pulleys: Wire rope pulleys are specifically designed for use with wire ropes. They have grooves or pockets that accommodate the shape and size of wire ropes, ensuring secure grip and efficient force transmission. Wire rope pulleys are commonly used in applications such as cranes, winches, and hoists.
9. Idler Pulleys: Idler pulleys are used to guide and tension belts or ropes in a system. They do not transmit power but help maintain proper belt tension and alignment. Idler pulleys are commonly used in conveyor systems, automotive engines, and other belt-driven applications.
10. Sheave Pulleys: Sheave pulleys are large pulleys used in heavy-duty applications, such as crane systems and elevators. They are designed to handle high loads and provide smooth and reliable operation. Sheave pulleys often have multiple grooves to accommodate multiple ropes or belts.
These are some of the different types of pulleys commonly used in various industries. Each type has specific features and is selected based on the requirements of the application, such as load capacity, power transmission, and operational conditions.
