Process of Compound Pulley
Mold
The first step in the process is creating a mold for the pulley.
Casting
The raw materials are melted and poured into the mold to form the pulley shape.
Raw Materials
High-quality materials are used to ensure durability and performance.
Production
The pulleys are manufactured using advanced machinery and techniques.
Testing
Each pulley undergoes rigorous testing to ensure quality and performance standards are met.
Antirust treatment
The pulleys are treated to prevent rust and corrosion, prolonging their lifespan.
Separate inspection
Every pulley is individually inspected for any defects or imperfections.
Marking
The pulleys are marked with relevant information for identification and traceability.
What is the function of the tensioner and idler pulley
