Custom Timing Pulleys For Manufacturers

At Illinois Pulley & Gear, we're proud of the reputation we've been able to earn as the one-stop shop for engineered, designed, and manufactured custom parts for clients in just about every industry you can think of. The level of care and attention to detail that we offer to our customers in the manufacturing industry are second to none. We treat every project as if it were unique, and it doesn't matter how strict your timeline is or how rigid your requirements are, we have the tools, the talent, and the creativity to make sure that the job gets done properly.
We're fully involved in every part of the process, from design to development and beyond. Everything we create is produced right at our very own facility in the United States. Not only does this allow us to keep a watchful eye on the process so that we can make sure everything is going precisely as it should be, but it also allows us to maintain the fast turnaround times and high quality that we've become known for.

Common Components We Build for the Manufacturing Industry

At Illinois Pulley & Gear, all of the common components that we offer are fully customized with your business in mind. We don't start with a part and hope that it meets your requirements. We take the time to learn as much as possible about who you are and what you're trying to accomplish — with that background, we create and execute a plan that will exceed your expectations each and every time.

Customized Parts

Just a few of the customized parts that we're capable of producing at Illinois Pulley & Gear include but are not limited to ones like timing pulley stock, pulley replacement parts, and flanges.

Timing Pulley Stock

Illinois Pulley & Gear is capable of manufacturing a wide range of high-quality timing pulley stock, all of which is manufactured on demand. This puts us in an ideal position to successfully produce what is essentially an unlimited variety — all of which has been fully customized to meet your precise specifications.

All you need to do is select the material you want to work with, specify the tooth profile you need, and any number of teeth you have in mind. We'll take care of the rest. 

Indeed, once we understand your specific needs, we have all that is necessary to come up with the types of innovative solutions you can depend on. We pride ourselves on our fast turnaround times because we know that manufacturers have specific schedules. We'll have whatever you need in your hands not in months or weeks, but literally in a matter of days.

Flanges

Illinois Pulley & Gear has spent years developing and honing an innovative flanging process — one that is designed to produce the highest quality products in all circumstances. All told, we employ one of a few different methods depending on the requirements of the project. These include ones like:

  • Roll staking. This is a technique commonly used when a flange needs to be attached to a smaller timing pulley. A crimp is produced around the entirety of the flange, securing everything in place.
  • Heat shrinking. Here, the flange itself will be heated to 450 degrees, after which it is moved into place. As it is allowed to cool, it shrinks to the perfect size to hold things tightly.
  • Bolt-on flanges. This is a process employed with some of the heaviest and most rugged flanges you're likely to encounter. The flange is held securely with flat-head screws, which are also easy to remove should maintenance be required.

Pulley Replacement Parts

Another type of common component that we offer for manufacturers has to do with pulley replacement parts. Sometimes, finding the right replacement parts can be an uphill battle. Maybe the original manufacturer has long since gone out of business, and now this critical piece of machinery that your business literally depends on is unsupported. Perhaps you've lost the original manual, so you're not quite sure what you're dealing with in the first place.

Thankfully, it doesn't matter — we've gone out of our way to design a process for pulley replacement parts that is as simple as you need it to be. Even if all you have to work from is the part itself, all you need to do is send it to us. We can reverse-engineer it within a matter of days to make sure that unexpected (and not to mention costly) periods of downtime are a thing you don't have to worry about ever again.

We work with many different materials in any tooth profile that you require. In addition to aluminum, we also offer steel, stainless steel, and plastics like nylon and Delrin.

At Illinois Pulley and Gear, we're prepared to help you understand the intricacies of each option so that you pick the one that is best for your specific needs.
