Tail / Take-up Pulley (Smooth)

Product Overview

The Tail / Take-up Pulley (Smooth) is the unpowered drum at the belt end that redirects the belt back underneath and seats into a screw take-up frame or gravity carriage. A smooth mild-steel shell (optional paint), machined keyed shaft and bolted bearing housings suit medium-duty 24–72 inch mining, quarry and plant return runs. Supplied as a direct replacement drum for worn tail ends, it can be sized to your existing housing spacing and diameter.

How to Choose This Component

Grade and load: choose CEMA E for extra-heavy, high-tonnage and overland duty; CEMA D for heavy-duty mainstream sections. Size the roller diameter and bracket spacing to the expected impact, belt load and material flow.
Belt width: match the part to your belt (BW 24"–72"). When requesting a quote, send belt width, required trough angle or drum diameter, and installation spacing so we can confirm a drop-in fit.
Working environment: tell us whether the duty is wet, dusty, sticky, abrasive or high-drop so we can match the seal, lagging, material and surface finish.
Retrofit and mounting: provide existing bracket spacing and frame type for a direct replacement; painted or galvanized finishes are both available.
