Gates Tapered bore timing pulleys FAQs

What is the advantage of a tapered bore pulley over a pilot bore pulley?

Tapered bore pulleys allow for easier installation and removal using taper lock bushings. This system ensures a secure fit without the need for machining the pulley, making it more adaptable and reducing the risk of damage during installation or removal.

How do I choose the correct tapered bore pulley for my application?

To select the right pulley, consider the type of belt, required pitch, number of teeth, material, and operating conditions. Gates provides selection tools and technical catalogs to help identify the appropriate product for your system.

How do I install a tapered bore pulley?

Tapered bore pulleys are installed using a taper lock bushing. Insert the bushing into the pulley’s tapered bore, align it with the shaft, and tighten the set screws according to the recommended torque. This creates a tight fit without slippage.

How do I maintain Gates tapered bore pulleys?

Regularly inspect for wear, alignment, and tension. Ensure that the taper lock bushing is secure and that the pulley is free from debris or corrosion. Proper tensioning and alignment help extend the life of both the pulley and the belt.
