This page explains how Rope Sheaves is classified within Machinery and Equipment Manufacturing. Technical values and manufacturer relationships are research references; confirm the current specification and supplier evidence for each order.
Grooved pulley wheels that guide and support ropes or cables in mechanical systems.
Technical details and manufacturing context for Rope Sheaves
| Parameter | Typical range | Notes & selection driver |
|---|---|---|
| Rope Diameter | 6–60 mm | Must match rope size to avoid wearISO 4309 |
| Groove Diameter | 6.5–65 mm | Typically 1.05–1.1 times rope diameterISO 4309 |
| Groove Angle | 30–60 ° | Affects rope support and frictionISO 4309 |
| Pitch Diameter | 100–2000 mm | Determines bending fatigue lifeISO 4309 |
| Tensile Strength | 400–800 MPa | For ductile iron or cast steelISO 15620 |
| Hardness | 170–230 HBW | Balances wear resistance and machinabilityISO 6506-1 |
| Surface Roughness | Ra 1.6–3.2 μm | Smooth groove reduces rope wearISO 1302 |
| Maximum Load | 5–100 kN | Exceeding may cause groove deformationISO 4309 |
| Operating Temperature | -40–120 °C | Above 120°C may reduce material strength |
| Tolerance (Pitch Diameter) | ±0.5 mm | Tighter tolerance for high-speed applicationsISO 2768-m |
| Weight | 2–500 kg | Depends on size and material |
Ranges are indicative industry figures for RFQ preparation, not a supplier commitment. Confirm every value and standard with the legal manufacturer before ordering.

Quoted from the published standard.
3 companies list this product among what they make. Company figures are quoted from each company's own website; every card states where the relationship came from.
Manufacturer listings support early research and capability understanding. They are not certification, ranking, or transaction guarantees.
A practical evidence checklist for RFQ preparation and supplier evaluation.
CNFX does not score or rank suppliers. Buyers must verify all claims and documents with the legal manufacturer before ordering.
Common materials include cast steel, forged steel, and ductile iron, as listed in the directory. The choice depends on the application's load and environmental requirements.
Key parameters include rope diameter, groove diameter, groove angle, pitch diameter, and maximum load. These must match your rope size and operational conditions. Always verify with the manufacturer.
Relevant standards include ISO 4309 for rope and groove dimensions, ISO 15620 for tensile strength, ISO 6506-1 for hardness, ISO 1302 for surface roughness, and ISO 2768-m for tolerances. These are references for verification.
Signs include groove deformation, excessive rope wear, increased friction, or unusual noise. Regular inspection of groove dimensions and surface condition is recommended. Exceeding maximum load or operating temperature can cause failure.
