Stainless steel pulleys

Buy stainless steel pulleys online at ijzerwarenwebshop.nl. Stainless steel pulleys. A pulley is a device that changes the direction of pull. Pulleys are often used in sets. They form a block system or tackle, making it possible to move a heavy load with little force. A wheel over which the rope When a pulley is moved, you can change the direction of a force. Using a second pulley can halve the forces, but you will need more rope. If you choose to use three or four pulleys, you can divide them into four, which is called a tackle. The same formula applies to a tackle as to a lever. You can see which number divides the force by looking at the number of ropes the forces are attached to.

A fixed pulley is a pulley that can move up and down, fixed to the floor or ceiling. A mobile pulley moves up and down, which moves the object. A tackle is a pulley with three or more pulleys to apply less force to the load. To calculate the lifting force, divide the gravity of the object to be lifted by the number of ropes above the pulley. A pulley with a rotating eye is useful when you need to move heavy objects with unusual movements. For a safe setup, combine it with suitable Eye bolts and nuts . The strongest pulley can carry a load of up to 450 kilograms and still move. This can be useful if you want to place a heavy object in a corner, such as a sofa. For transport and moving jobs, it can be useful to combine this with Tie-down straps or other load securing solutions. Using a pulley also allows you to move objects that would otherwise be too heavy. A pulley can therefore be an ideal solution in many cases.

Applications and benefits

Stainless steel pulleys are widely used in lifting and guiding systems, boat and water sports applications, garden decoration, sun blinds, theater technology, and industrial environments. Think of them for smooth running of a flag line, tensioning a shade cloth, guiding a hoist rope on board, or creating a hoisting system in a workshop or warehouse. What should you consider when purchasing: maximum load, rope thickness, or the type of attachment?

Key advantages of this product:

Corrosion-resistant stainless steel (ideal for outdoor and marine environments).
Smooth running due to ball bearings or suitably shaped discs.
Available in various sheave diameters for different rope and cable thicknesses.
Various mounting options, such as fixed bracket, swivel eye or hook. View matching carabiners and safety hooks.
Suitable for both rope and steel cable, depending on the version.

Thanks to their robust stainless steel construction, these products remain reliable even in wet or salty conditions. Not sure which size or design is right for your application?

Practical tips and points of interest

First, determine the desired rope or cable thickness. The pulley's sheave diameter should match this for optimal, wear-resistant guidance. What will you be using the rope or cable for?
Pay attention to the working load limit (WLL). Always choose a sufficient margin above the expected load, especially when lifting or using regularly.
Choose the right mounting type: a swivel eye prevents twisting under moving loads; a fixed bracket is more stable for static mounting; a hook allows for quick attachment. Which mounting method suits your situation?
For outdoor and maritime use, 316 stainless steel is often the best choice due to its added resistance to salt and corrosion. In less aggressive environments, 304 stainless steel is generally sufficient.
Determine whether you want to create a single or double pulley system. Multiple sheaves reduce the required pulling force but increase the complexity slightly.
Maintenance: Keep the disc and shaft free of dirt and sand. Periodic inspection extends service life and ensures consistent, smooth operation.

Are you unsure about which sheave diameters to choose, or want to know if steel cable is suitable for your chosen model? Consider the intensity and environment in which the system will be used. For heavier or frequent loads, a bearing-mounted sheave can offer the best lifespan and running guarantee.
