V Pulleys

V-belt pulleys — also known as sheaves — are cast iron power transmission components used to transfer drive between a motor and driven shaft via v-belts. AIMS Industrial stocks a comprehensive range of v-belt pulleys in single, double, and triple groove configurations for industrial drives across manufacturing, mining, agriculture, and general engineering.

Single, Double & Triple Groove Pulleys

• Single groove pulleys — for light to medium duty single-belt drives
• Double groove pulleys — for increased power transmission using two v-belts
• Triple groove pulleys — for heavy-duty drives requiring three v-belts running in parallel, delivering greater torque capacity and load distribution across the drive

All pulleys in our range are manufactured in cast iron — the standard material for v-belt sheaves due to its machinability, vibration damping, and wear resistance in industrial drive applications.

Matching Belts to Pulleys

V-belt pulleys are designed to match specific belt cross-sections — A, B, C, D, or SPZ/SPA/SPB/SPC for metric section belts. Selecting the correct groove profile for your belt section is critical for drive efficiency and belt life. Browse our Gates belts range for the matching v-belt to suit your pulley.
