Welded Pulley
Heavy-duty conveyor pulley with full-penetration welded shell and internal end discs.
View detailsThe conveyor pulley (drum) drives the belt, changes its direction and maintains its tension. A pulley failure stops the whole line, so design, materials and manufacturing precision are critical.
Types of conveyor pulleys
- Drive pulley: transfers power from the motor-gearbox to the belt by friction; usually rubber or ceramic lagged to prevent slippage.
- Tail (return) pulley: returns the belt at the end of the conveyor.
- Take-up pulley: adjusts belt tension in screw or gravity take-up systems.
- Snub / bend pulley: increases wrap angle or changes belt direction.
- Lagged pulley: plain, diamond-grooved or ceramic lagging for better grip.
- Welded pulley: heavy-duty welded shell with internal end discs.
How we build them
Our pulleys use rolled plate or seamed tube shells, internal stiffening discs and shafts machined from C45 / 42CrMo4 steel. Shell welds are full penetration; shell and shaft are machined on CNC lathes. The shaft–shell connection uses locking assemblies or keys. Every pulley is checked for run-out and balance before painting.
Selection criteria
Pulley diameter depends on belt type and ply count, belt tension and wrap angle; shaft diameter is calculated for bending and torsional loads. Plummer blocks (SN/SNL housings with spherical roller bearings) and lagging are selected for the operating environment.
Our production range: Ø 200 – 1250 mm pulley diameter, 500 – 2800 mm face width.
FAQ about Conveyor Pulleys (Drums)
Why are drive pulleys rubber lagged?
Lagging increases friction between belt and pulley, prevents slippage and protects both from wear. Diamond-grooved or ceramic lagging is preferred for wet and sticky materials.
How is pulley diameter selected?
By belt type and ply count, belt tension and pulley position (drive, tail, snub). Send us your data and we will help you specify it.
Can you replicate an existing pulley?
Yes. We manufacture exact replacements from the dimensions, shaft details or drawing of your existing pulley.
Are pulleys balanced before delivery?
Yes, every pulley is checked for run-out and balanced before shipment.
