The tail pulley, a belt conveyor return branch guide, provides 180° belt deflection and initial tension, featuring self-aligning bearings, labyrinth seals, diamond-patterned rubber or ceramic surfaces, and optional automatic tensioning for stable belt tracking and drive efficiency.
A tail pulley is typically composed of a steel drum shell, shaft, end discs, bearing assemblies, and optional surface treatments. The drum pulley shell is fabricated from high-strength steel to ensure sufficient rigidity and resistance to deformation under belt tension.
The shaft is engineered based on belt tension, bending moment, and safety factors, ensuring reliable performance under continuous operation. End discs are precision-machined and welded to the shell to maintain concentricity and structural integrity. Bearings are selected according to load capacity and environmental conditions, ensuring smooth rotation and extended service life.
Depending on application requirements, the tail drum pulley can be supplied with a bare steel surface, rubber lagging, ceramic self cleaning pulley design, or integrated with conveyor self cleaning pulley features. These options help reduce material carryback and improve belt tracking at the pulley tail position.
The tail pulley works in coordination with the head pulley and tail pulley system, ensuring stable belt return and proper tension distribution throughout the conveyor.
（1）Provides stable belt return and alignment
（2）Reduces belt deviation and uneven wear
（3）Compatible with self-cleaning pulley designs
（4）Optional lagging for improved belt grip
（5）Suitable for integration with take up pulley systems
（6）Robust drum pulley structure for long service life
（7）Low maintenance and reliable operation
Compared with standard conveyor pulleys, a properly designed tail pulley significantly improves conveyor efficiency and reduces downtime caused by belt tracking issues.
The technical specifications of the tail pulley are customized according to conveyor system requirements. Typical parameters include:
| Parameter Category | Technical Specifications / Description |
| Basic Dimensions | Diameter (D): 100–800 mm (customizable) Face Width / Effective Length (L): 200–2500 mm (customizable) Shaft Diameter (d): 30–120 mm Shell Thickness (t): 5–12 mm |
| Material & Structure | Shell Material: Carbon Steel / Alloy Steel / Stainless Steel Shaft Material: Carbon Steel / Alloy Steel (heat-treated for higher strength) Covering Material: Polyurethane (PU) or Rubber, optional anti-slip covering Bearing Type: Deep Groove Ball Bearing / Self-Aligning Ball Bearing Sealing Type: Rubber seal, dustproof and waterproof |
| Performance | Support Type: Single or double bearing support Rotational Speed: 50–200 rpm Friction Coefficient: 0.25–0.5 (higher friction with covering) Rated Load: 500–5000 kg (depending on size) Operating Temperature: -20°C to +80°C Wear Resistance: High wear resistance, suitable for long-term continuous operation Chemical Resistance: Oil, acid, and alkali resistant |
| Special Features / Options | Surface Pattern: Flat, spiral, or textured anti-slip Adjustable Bearing Housing: Allows easy belt tensioning and maintenance Anti-Static Option: Suitable for dusty or static-sensitive environments Drive Options: Can be used as a drive tail pulley, with scraper or covering Custom Hardness: 60A–95A, selectable according to conveyor requirements |
All tail pulleys are designed to integrate seamlessly with other conveyor components such as the conveyor head drum pulley supplier assemblies and conveyor belt drive pulley systems.
Tail pulleys are widely used in a variety of bulk material handling industries. Typical application scenarios include:
（1）Mining and mineral processing operations
（2）Cement plants and aggregate handling systems
（3）Coal handling and power generation facilities
（4）Steel mills and metallurgical plants
（5）Ports, terminals, and bulk logistics centers
（6）Chemical, fertilizer, and grain handling industries
In these environments, the conveyor tail drum ensures smooth belt return, reduces material accumulation, and improves overall conveyor reliability. Tail pulleys are suitable for both new conveyor installations and system retrofits.
As a professional conveyor pulley manufacturer, we implement strict quality control procedures throughout the entire manufacturing process. From raw material inspection to final assembly, each drum pulley undergoes dimensional checks, welding inspection, and performance evaluation.
Our production processes comply with international quality management standards. Inspection reports, material certificates, and balance test documentation can be provided upon request. We cooperate closely with conveyor pulley manufacturers and belt conveyor drum pulley manufacturers to ensure consistent product quality and dependable performance.
All tail pulleys are carefully packaged to prevent damage during transportation. Machined surfaces and shafts are protected with anti-corrosion coatings, and bearing areas are properly sealed. Depending on size and shipping requirements, products can be packed in wooden crates, steel frames, or customized export packaging.
Delivery time depends on pulley size, customization requirements, and order quantity. Standard tail pulleys can typically be produced within a stable production cycle. Customized conveyor tail drum designs may require additional lead time, which will be confirmed during order review.
Our technical team provides professional pre-sales support, including pulley selection, conveyor layout evaluation, and drawing confirmation. After-sales support includes installation guidance, operational recommendations, and long-term technical consultation.
By working closely with customers, we help ensure that each tail pulley delivers stable and reliable performance throughout its service life.
