Wyrepak Industry – USA Website : www.wyrepak.com Reinforced plastic guide pulleys fromWyrepak These highly durable reinforced pulleys, with their replaceable contact rings, are ideal for guiding or redirecting all types of wire. Flanges are bolted together, so individual parts can be replaced when worn or damaged. Each can come with single or double bearings. The replaceable contact ring is available in hardened rubber, tungsten carbide coated steel or ceramic coated steel. The nitrile (rubber) has high abrasive resistance and reduces vibration. They are offered in sizes from 2.5"/89mm to 16"/445mm.
