Steel hub disc pulley for BLE BLO edgers

The steel hub of the disc pulley is an essential part of the power transmission mechanism.

Here is its general role and some information on when it may be necessary to change this part:

1. Connection with the pulley: The steel hub is an integral part of the disc pulley. It is located in the centre of the pulley and serves as the connection point between the pulley and the axis of rotation.

2. Power transfer: The steel hub plays a role in transferring power from the motor to the abrasive disc holder. When the pulley rotates, the steel hub transmits this movement to the abrasive disc, enabling the floor to be sanded.

3. When to change the steel hub of the disc pulley :

   - Wear: If the steel hub shows signs of wear such as warping, cracking, or a decrease in its ability to transfer power efficiently, it may need to be replaced.

   - Physical damage: Physical damage, such as fractures, can compromise the integrity of the steel hub, requiring replacement.

- Incorrect alignment: Incorrect alignment of the hub can lead to power transmission problems, which may require replacement of the part.

   - Excessive play: Excessive play in the hub can affect the stability of the drive mechanism and may indicate wear or structural problems requiring replacement.

It is recommended that Repex Floor Service be consulted for specific information on maintenance, replacement, and adjustment of the steel disc pulley hub. 

In general, regular maintenance, visual inspection and replacement of worn parts will help to keep your edger running smoothly and prolong its life.
