Pulleys

Tail Pulley for Belt Conveyor Systems

Alongside Conveyor Rollers and Conveyor Idler Frames, Tail Pulleys are another important component of belt conveyor systems. For this reason, good, professional design and qualified production are very important in order to optimise the service life of Tail Pulleys and avoid the failure of one of these elements. We equip new systems and supply replacement parts.

Internally Mounted Tail Pulleys – Individual Design According to Requirements

The design of a Tail Pulley is always based on the operating conditions, such as conveying capacity, conveying speed, belt width, etc. Our recommendation is the Locking Device connection, which is suitable for most applications. However, we are also happy to offer you a solution designed very individually according to your specifications. Simply send us your inquiries and/or drawings.

Belt conveyor systems are now indispensable in industry. Whether in mining, agriculture or logistics – they are used wherever materials need to be transported from one place to another. Tail Pulleys play a crucial role in this.

The Tail Pulley, also referred to as a reversing Pulley or deflection Pulley, is an important component of every conveyor system. Its task is to redirect the conveyor belt in a different direction. In doing so, the material is redirected and continues to be transported. Tail Pulleys can be designed either with external bearings or with internal bearings. In the externally mounted version, the bearing is located outside the Pulley, whereas in the internally mounted version it is located inside the Pulley.

We also offer you welded Tail Pulleys. Get in touch with us.

Material Selection and Maintenance: Important Factors for the Tail Pulley

When selecting the right Tail Pulley, the materials used are also of great importance. Various materials are available, such as steel, stainless steel or coatings like rubber or ceramic. The choice of the right material depends on the requirements of the application, chemical resistance and ambient conditions.

The service life of a Tail Pulley also depends on proper maintenance and upkeep. Regular inspections and, where necessary, repairs can help extend the service life. In the event of a failure, spare parts should be available quickly and without hassle. We offer our customers both the supply of spare parts and the complete equipping of new systems.

Eine weitere wichtige Rolle spielen die Tragrollen und Stationen in einer Förderbandanlage. Tragrollen und Stationen sind praktisch die Verbindung zwischen Antriebstrommel und Umlenktrollen. Auf Ihnen läuft der Fördergurt und das zu transportierende Material.

Ein wichtiger Faktor bei der Auswahl der richtigen Umlenktrommel ist die Fördergeschwindigkeit. Je höher die Geschwindigkeit, desto größer ist die Belastung auf die Trommel und desto wichtiger ist eine qualitativ hochwertige Konstruktion und Produktion. Auch die Gurtspannung und die Art der Transportgüter spielen eine Rolle bei der Wahl der Umlenktrommel. Gleiches gilt für unsere Antriebstrommeln.

High-Quality and Individually Manufactured Tail Pulleys for Conveyor Systems

In design and production, we focus on the highest quality and precision. We use only high-quality materials and manufacture every Tail Pulley individually according to the requirements and needs of our customers. In doing so, we also take into account environmental conditions and possible chemical or mechanical influences.

We also offer our customers the option of retrofitting or replacing Tail Pulleys to increase the efficiency and service life of their conveyor systems. For this purpose, we offer an extensive range in various sizes and designs.

Our Tail Pulleys are also available with internal bearings. This type of Tail Pulley is mostly used where the Pulley itself serves to tension the conveyor belt. In this case, the bearings are located inside the Pulley to protect them from external influences and ensure a long service life.

In summary, the Tail Pulley is an essential component of a belt conveyor system. Good design and production, as well as regular maintenance and upkeep, are crucial for a long service life and reliability of the system. The choice of the appropriate connection technology also plays an important role in ensuring reliable and safe transmission of forces.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Tail Pulley?

The Tail Pulley, also known as a reversing Pulley or deflection Pulley, is an essential element in conveyor systems. It ensures that the conveyor belt is redirected and runs back. Simply send us an inquiry and we will take care of the rest for you!

Why do Tail Pulleys have so many different names?

Tail Pulleys have many names, such as reversing Pulleys, deflection Pulleys, pressure Pulleys, tension Pulleys or simply conveyor belt Pulleys. Most of these terms refer to the same applications. Some of our customers refer to very small Tail Pulleys as deflection Pulleys, but the application is the same. However, it is different with the terms pressure Pulley or tension Pulley. Even though almost all Pulleys look the same, a pressure Pulley is used to press the belt against another Tail Pulley, while a tension Pulley is used to tension the belt.

How is conveying speed related to the choice of Tail Pulley?

The higher the conveying speed, the greater the load on the Pulley, and the more important high-quality design and production become. Belt tension and the type of goods being transported also play a role in choosing the right Tail Pulley.

How does proper maintenance contribute to the service life of the Tail Pulley?

The service life of a Tail Pulley also depends on proper maintenance and upkeep. Regular inspections and, where necessary, repairs can help extend the service life of Tail Pulleys.
