Redirects belt travel path and assists in tensioning and stability.
Overview
Bend pulley is designed to change the belt running direction or increase the wrap angle around the drive pulley, thereby improving belt traction.
It is typically installed on the return side of the conveyor to enhance belt stability and tensioning performance.

More Details For Our Customers
Structure Composition
The bend pulley is composed of a drum shell, shaft, bearing housings, bearings, and sealing components. Optional configurations include flat or crowned designs, with or without rubber lagging depending on application needs.
Custom Options & Parameters
Bend pulleys are primarily used to redirect belt travel or increase the contact angle on drive pulleys. They can be customized for various system requirements with options including:
Pulley Diameter & Length: Common diameters range from φ220 to 1000mm, with lengths tailored to belt width (e.g., 800mm, 1200mm, 1600mm).
Shaft Diameter & Bearing Type: Multiple shaft sizes (φ40, φ50, φ80, φ100mm) available, with SN or SD bearing housings.
Lagging Options: Optional lagging includes bare steel, plain rubber, diamond rubber, or ceramic lagging, with thickness from 6 to 15mm depending on wear or traction needs.
Shaft End Design: Customizable ends for keyway, locking bush, or flange coupling—adapting to various installation requirements.
Symmetry & Mounting Options: Designed for unidirectional or bidirectional use, allowing flexible layout in limited spaces.
Manufacturing & Quality Control
Our bend pulleys are manufactured through standardized processes and high-precision equipment to ensure long-lasting, reliable performance:
High-Strength Materials: Fabricated using thick-walled seamless pipes or steel plate drums, with precision-machined alloy steel shafts for structural strength.
Automated Machining: CNC machining is used for both shaft and drum ends to ensure dimensional precision and concentricity.
Thorough Balance Testing: Although non-driven, all bend pulleys undergo balance testing to minimize noise and belt oscillation.
Surface Treatment: Coatings such as powder coating, electro-galvanizing, or hot-dip galvanizing are applied based on environmental conditions for enhanced corrosion protection.
Comprehensive Quality Control: Covers material inspection, weld inspection, dimensional checks, and final product testing to ensure performance under intended application conditions.
