Process of Compound Pulley
mold
The first step involves creating a mold to shape the pulley.
casting
Next, the raw materials are melted and poured into the mold to create the pulley.
raw materials
The materials used are carefully selected for durability and performance.
production
The pulley is then produced using specialized machinery and techniques.
testing
Each pulley undergoes rigorous testing to ensure quality and performance standards are met.
Antirust treatment
A protective coating is applied to prevent rust and corrosion.
seperate inspection
Every pulley is individually inspected to guarantee quality.
marking
Finally, the pulleys are marked with identification for traceability.
What is the function of the tensioner and idler pulley?
- Helps maintain proper belt tension
- Assists in guiding the belt along the pulley system
