Abstract: The present invention relates to a cylindrical poly-V pulley made of metal sheet suitable for forcedly fitting a one-way clutch or a bearing. The present invention can easily provide thick ears for preventing a V-belt from disengaging, and ensure an enough length of an axial straight line of a bore of a peripheral wall. Ears (2, 2) for preventing the V-belt from disengaging, are protrusively shaped in an annular state on axially both ends on an outer surface of a cylindrical peripheral wall (1). The each ear (2) includes an inner ear portion (2a) outwardly protruded from the both ends of the peripheral wall (1) and an outer ear portion (2b) folded back from the protruded outer end of the inner ear portion (2a) to the outer surface of the inner ear portion (2a) so as to be closely overlapped with each other, and the inner end surface of the ear (2) is flush with the inner surface of the peripheral wall (1).

Abstract: A moldable, plastic idler pulley is formed of two halves, each having a matching central hub and a radially outwardly extending web with radially disposed strengthening ribs on the outside thereof. The inner side of each central hub has a moldable stepped portion which closely mates the other hub. The stepped portions of each hub and the ribs have no under cuts or reverse bends and may be molded by two simple, axially parting mold elements. After molding, the ribs cooperate with a rotary machine to allow the stepped portions of each hub to be spin welded together. A central bearing may be captured between the hubs during the welding process, if desired.

Abstract: A roller casing for a pulley is comprised of coaxial ring halves mounted one over the other. The diameter of the running surface can be varied without varying the bearing size by employing corrugations in the circumferential direction, or by providing lateral radially outwardly directed rims on the inner ring part. Alternatively the iner ring may be comprised of two ring halves having their central parts directed toward one another.

Abstract: A low-friction thin-hub plastic multi-part sheave for handling wire, has two joined disc-like members with conical rim portions which together form a V-groove for the wire. The members have apertured central hub portions provided with facing shoulders that engage cooperable, oppositely-facing shoulders on the outer race member of an anti-friction bearing assemblage, to hold the latter captive between the disc-like members. The central hub portions and anti-friction bearing assemblage have respective, oppositely-facing, parallel exposed side surfaces which are flush and disposed in spaced-apart parallel planes, making for a thin hub assemblage.

Abstract: A tooth grip belt pulley of deformed sheet metal with a hub formed in one piece therewith and constructed pot-shaped; the cylindrical wall of the hub is constructed as an interference seat for a shaft end and the bottom wall thereof as axial abutment for the shaft end; the edge of the hub passes over into webs of the tooth grip belt pulley.
