Premium Quality Agricultural Machinery Pulley Iron Castings Casting Services Product

In the demanding world of agricultural equipment, premium iron cast pulleys stand as critical components that ensure reliable power transmission under the most challenging operating conditions. Our specialized casting services deliver agricultural pulleys that combine robust construction with precision engineering to meet the rigorous demands of modern farming operations.

Advanced Iron Material Specifications

Our agricultural pulleys utilize high-grade grey iron and ductile iron formulations specifically engineered for agricultural applications:

Grey Iron Castings (Grades G2500-G3500) provide exceptional vibration damping characteristics, a critical property for reducing noise and stress in agricultural drive systems. The natural graphite flake structure offers inherent lubricity, while the material's excellent castability ensures precise reproduction of complex pulley geometries . With tensile strength reaching 35,000 psi and compression strength approximately four times higher, grey iron maintains dimensional stability under heavy loads.

Ductile Iron Components (Grades 65-45-12, 80-55-06) deliver enhanced mechanical properties through their nodular graphite structure. These materials provide superior impact resistance with elongation up to 12% and tensile strength reaching 80,000 psi, making them ideal for pulleys subjected to shock loads and variable operating conditions .
