Mechanical Drives, Couplings, & Conveyor Components

V-Belt Sheaves

Dodge v-drive sheaves are manufactured to ISO 9002 quality standards with precision machining that meets or exceeds joint RMA/MPTA industry standards for smooth operation and extended belt life. This design provides low economical costs per horsepower transmitted due to shock load and vibration isolation, creating clean, quiet operation.

V-Belts

V-belts allow for compact, lighter-weight drives and feature a high-strength tension member for rated power with minimum stretch. Their molded cog construction accommodates extended belt lengths. S-L classic, classic cog, polyband, and wedge v-belts are also available.

Synchronous Sprockets and Belts

Synchronous sprockets improve drives with a curvilinear timing belt. A reinforced belt wraps around and engages a motor-driven sprocket or pulley to transmit translational or rotational motion.

Roller Chain Sprockets

Roller chain sprockets reliably handle high shock loads and deliver large amounts of torque. For ease of installation and removal, Dodge offers roller chain sprockets featuring Taper-Lock bushings. Dodge also offers Torque-Tamer clutches, an overload protection device for roller-chain drives that protects the system’s driven equipment.

Motor Bases

Motor bases are made of steel, which offers a base of rugged design while being compact and smooth in appearance. Bases are designed to provide adequate travel and are fully adjustable by the use of a single adjusting screw and the elongated mounting holes in the base plate.

Elastomeric Couplings

Dodge elastomeric couplings are available in innovative designs such as the Raptor (split-tire), Para-Flex (tire), D-Flex (sleeve), and StarFlex (jaw). This large product offering delivers coupling solutions for virtually any application including pumps, compressors, and fans. Explore the catalog.

Sidewinder™ Wrap Couplings

Metallic Couplings

Dodge metallic couplings are available in flexible designs such as grid, gear, and chain, as well as rigid designs such as Taper-Lock rigid, ribbed-rigid, and moment couplings. This broad offering delivers solutions across the torque spectrum, from pumping applications to packaging, with Dodge enclosed gearing for high-torque conveying applications.

Mechanical Soft Starts

Dodge fluid couplings are most commonly used on remote location conveyor drive applications in the mining, aggregate, cement, and power generation industries where controls and drives are difficult to power, program, and maintain.

Drum Pulleys

Dodge heavy-duty and mine-duty extra (MDX) drum pulleys deliver high performance and are available when you need them. Available from stock in many common sizes or custom-made, Dodge heavy-duty drum pulleys meet or exceed CEMA application standards for use with conveyor belts rated up to 750 PIW (Pounds per Inch of Belt Width) by 131 kN/m.

Wing Pulleys

Dodge wing pulleys deliver high performance and are available from stock in many common sizes. Dodge wing pulleys meet or exceed CEMA application standards for use with conveyor belts rated up to 450 PIW by 78 kN/m.

Lagging

Dodge conveyor pulleys can be provided with high-quality lagging, designed to ensure maximum belt and pulley life in tough applications. Dodge has the expertise to offer a full variety of lagging options, including vulcanized, cold-bond, and weld-on lagging.

Bushings and Hubs

Dodge bushings have unique features and a high-endurance design that extend conveyor pulley life. Dodge also manufactures XT bushings, which are interchangeable with bushings found on competitive conveyor pulley products. Hubs are useful for welding into fan rotors, impellers, and agitators which require secure mounting to the shaft.
