Product Overview

The head pulley, or drive pulley, is a belt conveyor drum pulley driving the belt, transmitting motor power, and ensuring belt tracking. It works with tail and take up pulleys, supporting heavy-duty, long-distance, and high-capacity conveying systems.
Design & Structure
The head pulley (drive drum) is the power core of a belt conveyor system. It features a high-strength alloy steel shaft, heavy-duty self-aligning roller bearings, multi-layer labyrinth seals, and a specially covered drum body. The surface, with chevron or ceramic-embedded covering, delivers excellent traction and anti-slip performance under high pressure, heavy wear, and wet conditions. A keyless tapered bushing ensures reliable high-torque transmission. Optimized for maximum belt tension, it includes a scraper interface to prevent material buildup, ensuring continuous, stable operation while extending equipment life and improving energy efficiency.
Features & Advantages
（1）High torque transmission capacity for stable belt driving
（2）Robust drum pulley structure designed for continuous operation
（3）Compatible with various belt conveyor pulley configurations
（4）Optional lagging to improve friction and reduce slippage
（5）Precision balancing to minimize vibration and noise
（6）Suitable for integration with head pulley and tail pulley systems
（7）Long service life with low maintenance requirements
Compared with ordinary conveyor pulleys, our conveyor drive drum is designed to meet higher mechanical and operational demands, making it suitable for heavy-duty and critical conveying applications.

Technical Specifications

The technical specifications of the head pulley are customized based on conveyor design requirements. Typical parameters include:

Pulley diameter: customized according to belt tension and speed

Face width: matched to belt width with edge allowance

Shaft diameter: calculated based on torque and bending stress

Bearing type: spherical roller or heavy-duty bearing units

Lagging type: bare steel, rubber lagging, ceramic lagging, or polyurethane

Surface finish: machined or welded shell

Balance grade: dynamic balancing available for high-speed conveyors
