Speed range is variable within standard ratio limits.  Standard ratio is 2.8:1.  All of our variable speed pulleys are spring-loaded and color-coded to indicate spring pressure - easy to identify and use.

Standard bore sizes are 5/8 to 3/4 and 14mm to 19mm for the VPSR pulleys. These pulleys combine strength and cost savings of a steel hub and mounting shaft; the pulley flanges are a combination of glass-reinforced nylon and steel pulley face.

Designed for belt sizes 1/2" V and horsepower ratings up to 3/4 HP.  They are engineered to offer an economical alternative for many applications that may not require the expense of AC/DC variable speed motors.
