Steel hub
Steel hub for disc pulleys for BLE Original and BLO edging machines
The steel hub of the disc pulley is an essential part of the power transmission mechanism.
Function
Here is its general role and some indications of when it may be necessary to replace this steel hub:
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 rotation axis.
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, allowing the floor to be sanded.
When should the steel hub be replaced?
- Wear: If the steel hub shows signs of wear such as deformation, cracks or a reduction 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 cause power transmission problems, which may require replacement of the part.
- Excessive play: Excessive play in the hub can affect the stability of the transmission mechanism and may indicate wear or structural problems requiring replacement.
It is recommended that you consult Repex Floor's after-sales service for specific information on maintenance, replacement, and adjustment of the steel hub of the disc pulley.
In general, regular maintenance, visual inspection, and replacement of worn parts will help ensure the proper functioning of the edger and extend its service life.
