Pulleys

Pulleys are devices that consist of a wheel with a groove around the circumference through which a rope, belt or cable runs. By changing the direction of the applied force and distributing the load, pulleys reduce the amount of force needed to lift heavy objects. In industrial settings, they are commonly employed in systems for lifting materials, conveyor belts, and machinery operations. For example, pulleys are used in agricultural machinery like combine headers as a key element of the working bodies, or tractors and other machines as part of the transmission system. Shima has a decades-long partnership with manufacturers in Asia to provide the absolute lowest cost pulleys without sacrificing quality.
