Ingersoll Rand Flywheel

Ingersoll Rand Flywheel is a pulley, and also a wheel on an axle or shaft. It supports movement and change of direction of a cable or belt along its circumference. You can use Ingersoll Rand Flywheel Pulleys in a variety of ways. For instance,  to lift loads, apply forces, and to transmit power. In nautical contexts, one refers to the assembly of wheel, axle, and supporting shell as a “block.”

Typically, a belt and pulley system consists of two or more pulleys in common to a belt. Thus, mechanical power, torque, and speed are transmitted across axles. If the pulleys are of differing diameters, a mechanical advantage is realised.

A pulley may also be called a sheave or drum. It may have a groove between two flanges around its circumference. The drive element of a pulley system can be a rope, cable, belt, or chain. It runs over the pulley inside the groove.

In the case of a drum-style pulley, without a groove or flanges, the pulley often is slightly convex to keep the flat belt centred. Some refer to it as a crowned pulley. Though once widely common on factory line shafts, you’ll still find this type of pulley driving the rotating brush in upright vacuum cleaners, ininngersol ranverf belt sanders and bandsaws.  Agricultural tractors built up to the early 1950s generally had a belt pulley for a flat belt. This is how Belt Pulley magazine got its name. It has been replaced by other mechanisms with more flexibility in methods of use. For instance, as power take-off and hydraulics.
