If you've ever been in a situation where your application demanded a pulley solution that off the shelf pulleys weren't able to handle, then you know how difficult finding a custom lightweight pulley solution can be. Fortunately, our engineers are experienced in listening to and working with clients to create custom solutions and [custom pulleys](https://www.torquetrans.com/custom-pulleys) for almost any application.

Our custom lightweight pulleys are designed for very low start/stop inertia and are created with molded high strength glass reinforced nylon for a durable, long lasting solution. Our custom lightweight pulleys also offer a number of advantages, including:

- Cost-Effective: Approximately 50% less than aluminum pulleys.
- All nylon or with aluminum hubs
- **Durable** - The resiliency of nylon is easy on belts
- **Strong, accurate, and quiet**
- Standard and Metric Sizes
- Single or double flange
- Set screw(s) and key way(s)
- Made in USA

We can also provide samples of our standard pulleys for testing or prototypes. So, if you are struggling to find a lightweight pulley that meets you needs, [contact us](https://www.torquetrans.com/custom-pulleys) today and request a quote!
