FAQ

Q1: What are the main benefits of choosing stainless steel over other materials like carbon steel or aluminum for pulleys?

• A: Stainless steel offers superior corrosion resistance, making it ideal for humid, wash-down, or chemically exposed environments (e.g., food processing, pharmaceuticals). It also provides an excellent balance of strength, durability, and hygiene, and does not require plating or painting for protection. While aluminum is lightweight and carbon steel is very strong, both are more susceptible to corrosion without additional coatings.

Q2: What types of precision tolerances can you achieve?

• A: We specialize in high-precision manufacturing. Standard tolerances for bore diameters can be held to H7 or better, and outer diameters to within ±0.1mm. For critical applications, we can achieve even tighter tolerances upon request. Our pulleys also undergo dynamic balancing (to G6.3 or G2.5 standards) to ensure smooth, vibration-free operation at high speeds.

Q3: Do you offer custom pulleys, and what information do you need for a quote?

• A: Yes, we are an OEM specialist and primarily produce custom pulleys. To provide an accurate quotation, please provide the following:

  • 2D drawings or 3D CAD models (STEP/IGES format).

  • Key dimensions: Outer Diameter, Bore Diameter & Tolerance, Belt/Groove Profile (e.g., T5, B-type), Face Width.

  • Material grade (e.g., SS304, SS316).

  • Surface finish requirement (e.g., polished, passivated).

  • Required quantity.

Q4: What is the difference between the belt pulley and chain pulley options?

• A: The primary difference lies in their driving mechanism:

  • Belt Pulley: Designed to work with a belt (V-belt, timing belt, poly-V). It transmits power through friction or the positive engagement of teeth, offering smoother and quieter operation.

  • Chain Pulley (Sprocket): Designed to engage with a roller chain. It transmits power through positive engagement with the chain links, making it suitable for high-torque and heavy-load applications where slippage is not acceptable.

Q5: How does the surface finish (e.g., passivated, polished) affect performance?

• A: The surface finish is critical for both functional and aesthetic reasons:

  • Passivated: Enhances the natural corrosion resistance of stainless steel by removing free iron and forming a protective oxide layer. This is our standard finish for most industrial applications.

  • Polished (Mirror/Satin): Creates an ultra-smooth surface that reduces friction and adhesion, making it easier to clean and ideal for industries with strict hygiene standards, such as food and pharmaceuticals.

Q6: What is your typical lead time for custom orders?

• A: Lead time depends on the order quantity and complexity. For prototype samples, it is typically 3-4 weeks. For standard production runs, lead times generally range from 4-6 weeks. We always provide a confirmed lead time with every order acknowledgment.

Q7: Can you provide certifications for your materials and processes?

• A: Yes. We can provide Material Test Certificates (MTC) for the stainless steel raw materials upon request. Our manufacturing facility is ISO 9001:2015 certified, ensuring a consistent and high-quality management system for all our processes.
