Superior Industries has expanded its line of Chevron Wing Pulleys.
It is now building a style rated for CEMA applications, which make infrequent starts and stops.
The pulleys have a V-shape construction and designed to deflect material and prevent it from lodging better than standard wing pulleys.
This results in less trapped fugitive materials and less belt damage.
Other benefits include much softer decibel levels generated by the Chevron wing pulley.
According to Superior, a standard wing pulley produces about 120 decibels of sound, while the Chevron wing pulley sustains a level of 70 decibels.
The company says that is like comparing a jet engine to a vacuum cleaner.
With the addition, Superior’s Chevron wing pulleys are now available in CEMA rated construction with diameters from 10” to 20” and face widths from 20” to 63”, plus Mine Duty and Super Duty styles with diameters from 12” to 48” and face widths from 12” to 78”.
