This two groove Pulley uses an H-Series Bushing, is directly interchangeable with other manufacturers, is manufactured in accordance with ARPM Standard IP20 for safe operation. With AK/BK series pulleys you can use A, 4L, B, 5L, AX, BX, AA, BB, and banded belts. What separates this pulley from the others is that it is made using a high grad cast iron, is phosphate coated, painted, and balanced at the factory. Using the grade cast iron offers a higher tensile strength and is more wear resistant than the more commonly used cast iron. While the phosphate coated and then painted finish adds corrosion resistance to the pulley. Then, because this pulley is dynamically balanced it runs smoother which gives bearings and other components of the equipment a longer working life.
