Head Pulley (Drive Pulley)
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.
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

A bend pulley is a belt conveyor pulley used to change the direction of the conveyor belt. It is commonly installed as a tail drum pulley or intermediate conveyor drum in belt conveyor systems.
The cleaning drum, a conveyor system core, features a steel core and polyurethane or rubber outer layer with helical grooves or raised ribs, maintaining belt contact to remove adhered material. Some models include adjustable scraper systems for adaptive self-cleaning.
The Impact Idler safeguards belt conveyors at high-impact loading points by absorbing shocks, reducing belt sag, and preventing premature wear. Compatible with leading drum pulley components, it ensures reliable, heavy-duty operation, extending conveyor lifespan. Ideal for mining, cement, ports, power plants, and other demanding industries.
The Parallel Return Idler provides stable support and precise guidance for the return side of belt conveyors, minimizing belt sag, misalignment, and wear. Engineered for heavy-duty industrial applications, it ensures smooth operation, enhances belt longevity, and works seamlessly with tail, bend, and drum pulleys.
