The tail(bend) pulley is used for changing the direction of the belt running or increasing the wrap angle between the conveyor belt and the driving pulley.
As per different carrying capacities, the tail(bend) pulley can be divided into three categories: light duty, medium duty and heavy duty. The shift of bearing aperture can be 50~100 mm,120~180 mm and 200~260 mm. And the structure is the same with the driving pulley.
The tail(bend) pulley is usually installed at the tail part or the vertical take-up equipment part when the belt direction need to 180°bending. It will be installed above the take-up equipment part while 90°bending .The pulley, which is used for extending the contact surface, is usually used for below or equal to 45°bending.
The surface treatment of the tail(bend) pulley can be smooth steel or flat rubber lagging.
