HOME ABOUT MATERIALS INDUSTRY COMPONENTS FINISHED PARTS TECHNICAL NEWS CONTACT SHEAVES & PULLEYS HomeFinished Parts Sheaves & Pulleys There are numerous advantages of a Nylatech sheave or pulley over conventional steel or iron sheaves. These advantages include: Lightweight Nylatech Sheaves are 1/8th the weight of steel or iron sheaves. This improves the lifting capabilities of mobile and fixed boom cranes and eases installation. Longer Rope Life Nylatech Monomer Cast Sheaves are better suited to the “on again, off again” loading typical for this application. With enhanced material memory and resiliency, the rope grooves will flex under the load of the rope providing increased support to the rope. Increased Loads The arm weight of telescoping cranes is decreased because Nylatech Sheaves are lighter. Also, Nylatech Sheaves flex under the load of the rope increasing the contact area between the rope and groove which increases load capacity. Decreased Operating Costs With lubricated grades of Nylatech Cast Nylon, the need for regular lubrication can be reduced or omitted. Corrosion Resistant Nylatech Cast Nylon Sheaves will not rust or corrode. WHAT’S NEW What are Cast Nylon stock shapes? November 17, 2021 Cast Nylon is about one-seventh the weight of traditional materials (like metal), making it an attractive plastic material for parts manufacturing. It’s also more cost-effective when you can use cast […] E-mail: INFO@NYLATECH.COM Call: (360) 966-2838 1-800-506-9566 © COPYRIGHT NYLATECH 2021 INDUSTRY COMPONENTS Agricultural Construction Food Processing Marine Material Handling Mining Sawmills Oil & Gas Wastewater FINISHED PARTS Bearings & Rollers Chain Guides Outrigger Pads Sheaves & Pulleys Sprockets & Gears Valves & Seals Wear Strips Wear Pads & Blocks TECHNICAL Data Sheets MSDS Conditions of Sale California Proposition 65 Notice and Warning Request for Quote
