What Are Fan Sheaves?
Fan sheaves are belt-driven power transmission devices designed to rotate. This rotation moves force from one shaft to another when connected with a belt.
These sheaves, which are the grooved wheel in the parts of a pulley system, are used to power fans, pumps, conveyors, and so forth. The belt fits inside the grooved part of this wheel and creates tension. Idlers are used to reduce slippage, move belts away from complications that can disrupt its rotation, and aid with creating and maintaining tension.
What’s the Maintenance?
Like other parts of your cooling tower application, sheaves are subjected to regular wear and tear over time. When this part wears, it is often in your best interest to replace the sheaves rather than attempting to adjust them or fix them. When replacing your sheaves, make sure to use the same diameter and count the number of turns “in” from the edge or edges on the old one and do the same on the new. For more information on fan sheaves and the replacement process, check out here.
