What is a Sheave on a Pulley?

• A sheave on a pulley is a wheel with a grooved rim designed to hold a belt, rope, or chain to facilitate the movement of machinery.
• It provides a means of transmitting power from one rotating shaft to another.
• The grooves on the sheave help to keep the belt, rope, or chain in place during operation.
• Sheaves can vary in size and material depending on the specific application.
• They are essential components in various industrial and mechanical systems.

What are Sheaves Used For?

• Sheaves are used to change the direction of a belt, rope, or chain in machinery.
• They help in the transmission of power between shafts in different orientations.
• Sheaves are utilized in lifting equipment to guide wire ropes and chains.
• They play a crucial role in maintaining tension in belts and ropes for efficient operation.
• Sheaves are essential components in pulley systems for various industrial applications.



• They are also used in adjustable speed control systems for machinery.

Process of Sheave Pulley
