What is a sheave on a pulley?

• Definition:

  A sheave is a wheel or pulley with a grooved rim designed to hold a belt, rope, or cable.

• Function:

  Sheaves redirect or change the direction of the tension in the rope or belt passing over them.

• Materials:

  Sheaves can be made of metal, plastic, or other materials depending on the application.

• Size:

  Sheaves come in various sizes to accommodate different belt or rope diameters.

• Usage:

  Sheaves are commonly used in pulley systems for lifting, power transmission, and tensioning applications.

What are sheaves used for?

  Each sheave pulley is inspected individually for quality assurance.

• Marking:

  Sheave pulleys are marked with specifications for identification and tracking.

How do you adjust sheave pulleys?

• Check Belt Tension:

  Ensure the belt tension is correct for proper operation.

• Inspect Sheave Alignment:

  Make sure the sheaves are properly aligned for efficient power transmission.

• Use Sheave Gauges:

  Use gauges to measure the groove dimensions and adjust accordingly.

• Adjust Sheave Position:

  Move the sheaves to the desired position for optimal performance.

• Monitor Vibration:

  Check for any vibration during operation and adjust as needed.

• Regular Maintenance:

  Perform routine maintenance to keep the sheave pulleys in good condition.

• Seek Professional Help:

  If unsure, consult a professional for proper sheave pulley adjustment.
