Types of Sheave Pulleys

1. Single Sheave Pulley

A single sheave pulley has one groove for the rope or cable to pass through, providing a simple and efficient lifting mechanism.

2. Double Sheave Pulley

A double sheave pulley has two grooves to accommodate multiple ropes or cables, increasing the lifting capacity and versatility.

3. Snatch Block Sheave Pulley

A snatch block sheave pulley is designed for heavy-duty lifting applications, featuring a swivel hook for easy attachment.

4. Fixed Eye Sheave Pulley

A fixed eye sheave pulley has a fixed attachment point, making it ideal for static applications where the load does not need to move.

5. Swivel Eye Sheave Pulley

A swivel eye sheave pulley has a rotating attachment point, allowing for greater flexibility and movement during lifting operations.

6. Wire Rope Sheave Pulley

A wire rope sheave pulley is specifically designed to work with wire ropes, providing a secure and efficient lifting solution.

What is a sheave on a pulley?

• A sheave on a pulley is a grooved wheel or pulley that is designed to hold a rope or cable in place.
• The sheave helps to guide the rope or cable and prevent it from slipping off the pulley during operation.
• It also helps to distribute the load evenly across the rope or cable, reducing wear and tear.



• The sheave can be made from various materials such as steel, aluminum, or nylon, depending on the application.
• Sheaves come in different sizes and configurations to accommodate various types of ropes and cables.

What are sheaves used for?

• Sheaves are used to change the direction of a rope or cable in lifting and rigging applications.
• They are also used to increase the mechanical advantage of a pulley system, making it easier to lift heavy loads.
• Sheaves help to reduce friction and wear on the rope or cable, extending its lifespan.
• They are essential components in cranes, hoists, and other lifting equipment.
• Sheaves are used in various industries such as construction, mining, and manufacturing.

Process of Sheave Pulley

1. Mold: The mold for the sheave pulley is created based on the design specifications.
2. Casting: The molten metal is poured into the mold to form the sheave pulley shape.
3. Raw Materials: High-quality materials are used to ensure durability and performance.
4. Production: The sheave pulleys are manufactured with precision and attention to detail.
5. Testing: Each sheave pulley undergoes rigorous testing to ensure quality and safety.
6. Antirust Treatment: The sheave pulleys are treated to prevent corrosion and rusting.
7. Separate Inspection: Each sheave pulley is inspected individually to ensure quality control.
8. Marking: The sheave pulleys are marked with relevant information for easy identification.

How do you adjust sheave pulleys?

• Adjust the tension of the rope or cable running through the sheave pulley to ensure smooth operation.
• Inspect the sheave pulley for any signs of wear or damage, and replace if necessary.
• Check the alignment of the sheave pulley to prevent uneven wear and ensure proper operation.
• Grease the bearings of the sheave pulley to reduce friction and prolong the lifespan of the components.
• Make sure the sheave pulley is securely mounted and aligned with other components in the system.
• Consult the manufacturer’s guidelines for specific instructions on adjusting the sheave pulleys.
