20x2xC V-Groove Pulley OM

A V-groove pulley with a C-section, often referred to as a V-belt pulley or sheave, is a mechanical component used in power transmission systems. Using a V-belt, it is designed to transmit rotational motion and power between a drive shaft and a driven shaft. The V-groove pulley has a specific cross-sectional shape, which in the case of a C-section, resembles the letter “C.”

Here’s a breakdown of its description:

1. V-Groove: The pulley’s outer surface features a V-shaped groove or channel that is designed to accommodate a V-shaped belt. This V-groove helps the belt sit securely and prevents slippage during operation.
2. C-Section: The cross-sectional profile of the pulley resembles the shape of the letter “C.” This means that when you look at the pulley from the side, it will have a curved outer edge that forms a partial circle.
3. Material: V-groove pulleys are commonly made from materials such as cast iron, steel, aluminum, or other durable materials that can handle the stresses of power transmission.
4. Sizes: V-groove pulleys come in various sizes, with different diameters and groove depths, to accommodate different belt sizes and power transmission requirements.
5. Mounting: The pulley is typically mounted onto a shaft using a tapered bore, keyway, or other suitable mounting mechanism. It may be secured in place using set screws, clamping collars, or other fastening methods.
6. Applications: V-groove pulleys with a C-section are often used in industrial and commercial settings for applications where power needs to be transmitted efficiently and reliably. They are commonly found in machinery such as conveyor systems, agricultural equipment, HVAC systems, and more.
7. Belt Type: V-groove pulleys with a C-section are specifically designed to work with V-belts. V-belts are flexible, V-shaped belts made of rubber or synthetic materials. They fit into the groove of the pulley and provide a reliable means of transferring power.

It’s worth noting that V-groove pulleys are part of a larger power transmission system that includes other components such as belts, tensioners, and bearings. The design and selection of these components are crucial to ensure efficient power transmission and reliable operation of the machinery or equipment.
