Cast-iron V pulleys in single, double, and triple groove — the essential belt-drive component for motors, compressors, and process equipment across Northeast India.
V pulleys (also called sheaves) are the grooved wheels that transmit power between motor and driven machine via V-belts. Cast-iron pulleys are the industry standard for fixed industrial drives — they are dimensionally stable, resist belt-induced wear, and can be precision-bored and keyway-machined to match motor and gearbox shaft diameters from 12 mm to 100 mm. The V groove geometry creates a wedging action that multiplies belt friction compared to flat belts, allowing high power transmission in a compact envelope.
In Northeast India's manufacturing, processing, and construction equipment sectors, V-pulley drives appear on grain mills, stone crushers, water pumps, air compressors, HVAC fans, conveyors, and workshop lathes. When a drive pulley wears or cracks — identifiable by belt slip, unusual noise, or visible groove wear — it must be replaced promptly to prevent belt failure and machinery damage. Multi Trade Combines keeps a range of CI pulleys in single, double, and triple groove configurations for rapid replacement supply across Guwahati and Assam.
A correct drive specification requires matching pulleys and belts by section type (A, B, C for classical; SPZ, SPA, SPB for wedge), pitch diameter, and centre distance. Unmatched components cause premature wear on both belt and pulley groove. We stock Fenner V-belts alongside CI pulleys, so you can source the complete drive replacement — belt and sheave — in one counter visit or single delivery.
For agricultural equipment, small generators, and workshop machinery in Assam, the A and B section classical drive is the workhorse. For stone crushers and heavy compressors running 10 HP and above, B and C section multiple-belt drives with double or triple groove pulleys are the right specification. We also carry taper-lock pulleys for applications where the pulley must be removed frequently without damaging the shaft.

V pulleys are manufactured to classical A, B, C, D, or E groove profiles, or to narrower SPZ, SPA, SPB, SPC wedge profiles. Classical A and B are most common for light and medium industrial drives (compressors, fans, pumps under 15 HP). C and D sections handle heavier drives. The belt section must match the groove exactly — mixing an A belt in a B groove or vice versa accelerates belt and pulley wear. Tell us your driven and driver shaft diameters, centre distance, and HP requirement; we will specify the correct groove profile and pitch diameter.
Yes. Multi Trade Combines stocks cast-iron V pulleys in single, double, and triple groove configurations across a range of pitch diameters. Single-groove pulleys suit one-belt drives on small motors and compressors. Double and triple groove pulleys are used where higher power transmission or redundancy is required — multiple belts share the load and the drive keeps running if one belt breaks. Available for counter pickup in Guwahati or delivery across Assam and Northeast India.
