Our pulleys have individual all-steel wings and gussets that expel excessive build up of material from the areas of belt contact which enhances traction and reduces abrasion of both belt and pulley. We have pulley lagging capabilities available in a wide variety of styles and thicknesses. Lagging is primarily used to improve traction capacity, resist abrasive conditions, and extend the pulley and belt life. The style of lagging is usually influenced by operating conditions. The standard is 60 durometer and is available in various durometers, with 45 and 70 being the common alternates. The herringbone groove lagging is the most common. In this tractor style grooving, the points do not meet in the middle, this is normally used in drive pulleys. (3/8” minimum thickness).
