Process of Drive Pulley
Mold
The mold for the drive pulley is carefully designed to ensure accurate casting.
Casting
The drive pulley is cast using high-quality materials to provide strength and durability.
Raw Materials
Only the finest materials are used in the production of the drive pulley to ensure quality.
Production
Skilled technicians oversee the production process to maintain precision and consistency.
Testing
Each drive pulley undergoes rigorous testing to ensure reliability and performance.
Antirust treatment
Special treatment is applied to prevent rust and corrosion, increasing the lifespan of the drive pulley.
Separate inspection
Each drive pulley is individually inspected to guarantee quality before shipment.
Marking
Drive pulleys are marked with identifying information for traceability and quality control purposes.
What is the difference between a drive pulley and a head pulley?
- Drive pulley is responsible for transmitting power, while head pulley is responsible for redirecting the cable.
- Drive pulley is usually connected to the motor, while head pulley is located at the opposite end of the transit system.
- Drive pulley is typically larger in size compared to head pulley.
- Drive pulley is designed for power transmission, while head pulley is designed for cable guidance.
- Drive pulley is more focused on efficiency, while head pulley is more focused on cable alignment.
- Drive pulley is essential for the movement of the transit system, while head pulley plays a supporting role.
- Drive pulley experiences more wear and tear compared to head pulley due to its constant movement.
