V Pulley

A V pulley, also known as a V-belt pulley or a sheave, is a type of pulley that is commonly used in power transmission systems. It is designed to transmit rotational motion and power between a driving shaft and a driven shaft using a V-belt or V-belt drive system.

The V pulley features a grooved or V-shaped profile on its circumference, which is specifically designed to match the cross-sectional shape of a V-belt. The V-belt fits into the groove of the pulley, creating a frictional connection that transfers power from the driving pulley to the driven pulley.

Advantages of V-Pulleys

V-pulleys offer a number of advantages over other types of pulleys, including:

• High efficiency: V-belt drives can achieve efficiencies of up to 98%.
• Slip resistance: The wedging action of the V-belt in the pulley grooves helps to prevent slip, even under high loads.
• Misalignment tolerance: V-belt drives can tolerate a small amount of misalignment between the two axles, without sacrificing efficiency or performance.
• Wide range of speeds and torques: V-pulleys can be used to transmit a wide range of speeds and torques, making them suitable for a variety of applications.
• Durability: V-pulleys are typically made of cast iron or steel, making them durable and long-lasting.

Types of V-Pulleys

V-pulleys are available in a variety of types, including:

• Fixed-pitch pulleys: These pulleys have a fixed groove diameter, which means that they can only be used with one specific size of V-belt.
• Variable-pitch pulleys: These pulleys have adjustable groove diameters, which allow them to be used with a variety of different V-belt sizes. This makes them ideal for applications where the speed ratio between the two axles needs to be changed.
• Taper-lock pulleys: These pulleys have a tapered bore that allows them to be quickly and easily installed and removed from a shaft.
• Pilot-bore pulleys: These pulleys have a pilot bore that fits over a pilot pin on the shaft. This provides precise alignment between the pulley and the shaft.
