Pulleys & Taperlocks

Pulleys & Taperlocks for Compressed Air Systems

Pulleys and taperlocks are essential components used to transmit power from the motor to the compressor, playing a key role in the efficiency and performance of compressed air systems.

Pulleys transfer rotational motion between the motor and compressor. Available in a range of sizes and profiles, the correct pulley selection is critical as pulley size directly affects compressor speed and overall system output. Choosing the right pulley helps ensure optimal performance and reduces unnecessary strain on system components.

Taperlocks are precision locking devices used to securely mount pulleys onto motor and compressor shafts. They provide a strong, accurate connection, helping prevent slippage, vibration, and misalignment. Selecting the correct taperlock size ensures a precise fit and reliable long-term operation.

Correct installation of pulleys and taperlocks is just as important as proper selection. Accurate fitting helps maintain alignment and power transfer efficiency, while incorrect installation can lead to premature wear, component failure, or damage to the compressed air system.
