STANDARD PULLEYS
Roxons range of standard construction pulleys are shown in the below. Choose the correct solution in your
case. We also manufacture tailor made pulleys according clients special needs.
CROWNED PULLEYS
Crowning of pulley means that shell diameter in the middle of pulley is larger than on both ends. It is used
widely for improving alignment of belt. Crowning of pulleys for drives with multi pulleys is not recommended in
order to prevent local overloads of the belt. Crowning is not used with steel cord belts either. ROXONS
standard pulleys are always supplied crowned. If a pulley is needed without crowning, it must be mentioned
at the time of ordering.

Bearing life of the pulleys with different shaft diameters can By ordering the pulley, please inform the need for a balancing:
be easily checked according to the enclosed diagram when
the belt speed v and pulley diameter D is known.
example: DK140 - 500X - 1400
Demand for the life is assumed to be 25000 h, but with the - static balancing
factor on table 1 also the other life times are easily checked.
As the bearings 222- and 230- series spherical cylinder
bearings of well known manufacturers are used.
Example:
Calculated resultant R: 18 kN
Belt speed: 1.8 m/s
Pulley diameter: 500 mm
