Roll Formed Sheaves

About Roll Formed Sheaves
Roll Formed sheaves are manufactured using a unique process that ensures reliable and economical production for medium-duty applications:
- Pre-Machining: Starts with a steel disc with the outside diameter and inside diameter machined.
- Roll- Forming: Disc is placed into the roll forming machine where it is spun at high speeds while groove dies are pressed into the sides to form the specific rope groove.
- Welding: Pre-machined hubs of a specified outside diameter and length are welded into the formed blanks.
- Post-Machining: Sheave bore machined in lathe for the particular bore option needed.
- Bearing/Bushing Install: If the sheave needs a bearing or bushing, it is installed using a hydraulic press.
Bear Equipment Roll Formed sheaves offer outside diameters from 8″ to 12″, grooves for rope diameters from 1/4″ to 1″, and multiple bore options, catering to a wide range of medium-duty sheave needs.
