8V Series Cast Iron Ten-Groove Pulley Sheaves with Split Taper Bushings

8V Series Cast Iron Ten-Groove Pulley Sheaves with Split Taper Bushings

8V series ten-groove taper bushed sheaves(8V Series Ten-Groove Pulley) are working for 8V and 8V banded v-belts. They range from 12.5″ to 64.0″ in diameter. Depending on the sheave size, they are making to use U1 or W1 split-taper bushings, which we also stock. Most of our ten-groove 8V split taper sheaves are manufactured from a high-strength grade 35 cast iron, are phosphate-coated, and are painted for anti-corrosion. All of them are balanced at the factory for smooth machinery operation.

(1) 8V-Series V-Belts

Classic 8V-Series V-Belts have a 0.63″ top-width, 0.53″ thickness, and a 38° angle. Additionally, 8V V-belts are one of the oldest styles of V-Belts in the industry. Because of their long-term success and economical operation, they are also one of the industry’s most widely used belt series. The premium 8V-series v-belts we supply are manufactured under ISO 9001 specifications, are oil and heat resistant, and directly interchange with other brands. They are constructed of a natural rubber compound with polyester cords and use cotton with a polyester blend cover for high durability.

(2) 8V-Series Banded V-Belts

8V-series v-belts are a part of the “classic” lineup of v-belts because they are one of the oldest style belts used and one of the most common. Our belts are manufactured by ARPM standards and offer superior strength, durability, and performance. 8V-series v-belts have a 1.0″ top-width per belt (band/ rib).

Related Split Taper Bushings

Split taper bushings are amongst the most common bushings utilized due to their high integral strength, simplicity of installation and uninstall, and high holding power for successfully coupling a shaft onto a drive or idler component. Split taper bushings are utilized in a broad range of sheaves, conveyor pulleys, and sprockets. Our high-quality split taper bushings are manufactured from high-grade steel or cast and interchange with any other brand, designed as a flanged bushing with a tapered barrel attached that contains one slit on each side. We stock split taper bushings ranging from the G-series to W2-series and in inch and metric bore sizes that range from 0.375″ up to 7.438″.

The Working Principle and Characteristics of the Pulley

The working principle of the pulley is that a belt connects the driving pulley and the driven pulley, and the power is driven by the friction force generated by the friction between the pulley and the belt. The pulley drive runs smoothly, with low noise, slight vibration, a simple structure, and convenient maintenance. The disadvantage is that it is difficult to install, prone to slippage after prolonged use, and the transmission efficiency cannot be guaranteed.

The taper bush pulley is a new type widely used in Europe and the United States. It consists of two parts. A tapered sleeve is connected between the pulley and the installation shaft, and then it is locked with an Allen wrench to fix the screw, and it can be used. This kind of pulley solves the problem of complex installation of traditional pulleys. It does not need external force as before. Pullers, hammers, and other items only need an Allen wrench to complete the installation. After installation and use, even if the pulley is worn and slipping, It does not need to replace the entire pulley simultaneously. It only needs to replace one installation taper sleeve to continue to use, which can significantly reduce the use cost.

How to Remove the Taper Bushed Pulley?

Because the pulley is a transmission component often used in the manufacturing industry, there are European, American, and national standards. Because of its unique physical structure, the taper bushed pulley is easy to install and disassemble. It can play an excellent auxiliary role in maintaining enterprise equipment and improving production capacity. How to remove the taper bushed pulley?

It is straightforward to remove the taper bushed pulley, and all the prepared tools are relatively simple, a hex wrench corresponding to the screw type, a plastic or wooden hammer, and some lubricant. I believe that manufacturing companies usually provide these three things.

1. Remove the screws from the mounting holes.
2. Take the disassembled screw and lock it on the opposite side of the clamping seam. If you find that it cannot be tightened when it is closed, you need to take it out and add a bit of lubricating oil or use the prepared rubber hammer to tap it to disengage gently.
3. At this time, the pulley and the taper sleeve have been separated; just push the pulley forward a little, and then use a screwdriver to twist the clamping seam to loosen the opening of the clamping seam, and take out the key inside, so that the taper sleeve can be easily Remove, and finally remove the pulley to complete the removal of the taper bushed pulley.

Applications of 8V Series Sheaves

The pulley application is generally working for long-distance power transmission, so it is applications, such as the power output of small diesel engines, such as tractors, automobiles, etc. It is also suitable for mechanical transmissions, such as machining equipment, textile machinery, lathes, forging presses, etc. The application range is so broad, and the characteristics are also evident. The pulley drive has an overload protection function; the center distance between the two shafts of the pulley drive has an extensive adjustment range.
