Types of Sheave Pulleys
1. Single Sheave Pulleys
Single sheave pulleys have only one wheel to support the rope or cable.
2. Double Sheave Pulleys
Double sheave pulleys have two wheels to support the rope or cable, providing increased mechanical advantage.
3. Triple Sheave Pulleys
Triple sheave pulleys have three wheels to support the rope or cable, offering even greater mechanical advantage.
4. Fixed Eye Sheave Pulleys
Fixed eye sheave pulleys have a stationary eye for easy attachment.
5. Swivel Eye Sheave Pulleys
Swivel eye sheave pulleys have a rotating eye for flexibility in different directions.
6. Snatch Blocks
Snatch blocks are specifically designed for heavy loads and can rotate 360 degrees.
What is a sheave on a pulley
- A sheave is a wheel with a groove used to guide a rope or cable.
- It helps change the direction of the force applied to the rope or cable.
- Sheaves reduce friction and wear on the rope or cable.
- They are commonly used in pulley systems for lifting or pulling loads.
- Sheaves can be made of various materials such as metal, plastic, or ceramic.
What are sheaves used for?

Process of Sheave Pulley
The process of sheave pulley production includes mold creation, casting the sheave, selecting raw materials, manufacturing, testing for quality, applying anti-rust treatment, conducting separate inspections, and marking the final product.
How do you adjust sheave pulleys?
- Inspect the sheave pulley for any signs of wear or damage.
- Ensure the sheave is properly aligned with the rope or cable.
- Check the tension of the rope or cable passing through the sheave.
- Use lubrication to reduce friction and ensure smooth operation.
- Adjust the position of the sheave to optimize performance.
- Regularly maintain and inspect the sheave pulley for optimal function.
- Consult the manufacturer’s guidelines for specific adjustment instructions.
