Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is your core capability as a supplier?
A: We are a specialist OEM manufacturer focused on custom precision pulleys. Our core capability is to work from your drawings or specifications to design and manufacture stainless steel belt pulleys and chain pulleys (sprockets) that perfectly fit your unique application, rather than only offering standard off-the-shelf parts.

Q2: What information do you need to provide a quote for a custom pulley?
A: To ensure an accurate quote and design, please provide:

• Technical Drawings: 2D (PDF/DWG) or 3D models (STEP, IGES) are essential.

• Key Dimensions: Outer Diameter, Bore size & tolerance, Face Width, etc.

• Type & Profile: Specify if it's a belt pulley (e.g., T5 timing, B-section V-belt) or chain sprocket (e.g., ANSI #40).

• Material Grade: e.g., SS304, SS316, or other.

• Quantity & Surface Finish: Your expected annual volume and desired finish (e.g., passivated, polished).

Q3: Why choose stainless steel over other materials for a pulley?
A: Stainless steel is the superior choice for applications requiring:

• Corrosion Resistance: Essential for washdown environments (food, pharmaceutical), outdoor use, or exposure to chemicals.

• Hygiene: Its non-porous surface is easy to clean and sterilize.

• Strength & Durability: Offers an excellent strength-to-weight ratio and maintains integrity under load without the need for protective coatings that can wear off.

• Long-Term Value: While the initial cost may be higher, its longevity and reduced maintenance lead to a lower total cost of ownership.

Q4: What level of precision can I expect?
A: "Precision" is at the core of our offering. We guarantee:

• Tight Tolerances: Standard bore tolerances of H7 are standard, with tighter tolerances available.

• Superior Balancing: Our pulleys undergo dynamic balancing (to grades like G6.3 or G2.5) to minimize vibration and noise at high speeds, protecting your bearings and belts.

• Accurate Profiles: Grooves and teeth are machined precisely to ensure optimal belt/chain engagement and efficient power transmission.

Q5: What is the difference in application between a belt pulley and a chain pulley (sprocket)?
A: The choice depends on your power transmission needs:

• Belt Pulleys: Used with V-belts, timing belts, or poly-V belts. They generally offer smoother, quieter operation and can tolerate some misalignment. Ideal for high-speed applications.

• Chain Pulleys (Sprockets): Engage with a roller chain. They provide positive, non-slip drive and are best for high-torque, heavy-load applications where maintaining precise synchronization is critical.

Q6: What is your typical lead time for custom orders?
A: Lead time varies based on order complexity and quantity.

• Prototypes: Typically 3-4 weeks.

• Production Runs: Generally 6-8 weeks after final design approval.
  We prioritize clear communication and will provide a firm lead time with your order confirmation.

Q7: Do you provide any certifications for your products?
A: Yes. We can provide Material Test Certificates (MTC) for traceability. Our manufacturing quality system is certified to ISO 9001:2015, ensuring consistent and reliable processes for every order.
