Browning 1B5V60 B5V Gripbelt Single Groove Split Taper Sheave 6.28in OD

The Browning 1B5V60 is a single-groove, cast iron Split Taper sheave (pulley) from Browning's B5V Gripbelt series. Designed for industrial V-belt drive applications, this sheave features a 6.28-inch outside diameter and accepts A, 4L, B, 5L, and 5V belts — making it one of the most versatile combination-groove sheaves available. A B Series Split Taper bushing (sold separately) is required for mounting, accommodating bore sizes from 1/2" to 2-7/16".

Key Features:

• Combination Groove Design: Compatible with A, 4L, B, 5L, and 5V belts, providing a wide range of pitch diameters and horsepower options in a single sheave
• 6.28" Outside Diameter with a 1-groove, 2-3/16" face width configuration
• Browning Split Taper Bushing System: Delivers a true Key-to-Key drive to both the shaft and hub for precise, secure power transmission — B Series bushing required (not included)
• Bore Range: 1/2" to 2-7/16" via compatible B bushing
• Broad Horsepower Coverage: The B5V series spans 1 through 6 grooves, supporting drives from 5 to 125 horsepower
• Optimized Cast Iron Construction: Casting developed using CAD and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to place material only where structurally needed, reducing weight without sacrificing strength
• Interchangeable: Can be used alongside traditional A/B or 5V sheaves in the same drive system

The 1B5V60 is well-suited for a broad range of industrial power transmission applications including HVAC equipment, pumps, compressors, fans, and general machinery. Note that B5V sheaves are not designed for use with banded belts due to differences in groove spacing versus standard B and 5V sheaves.
