Browning 1VP60X 1 5/8 Variable Pitch Sheave 1 Groove Cast Iron 6" OD

The Browning 1VP60X 1 5/8 variable pitch sheave (also called a variable speed pulley or adjustable pitch V-belt pulley) is a single-groove cast iron sheave with a 1-5/8" finished bore and a 6" outside diameter. It lets you adjust drive speed on fractional horsepower applications by changing the belt's pitch diameter.

Key Features:

• Single groove design for one V-belt
• Belt sections: 4L or A, 5L or B, and 5V
• Cast iron construction for durability and heat dissipation
• Finished bore: 1-5/8" bore, ready to mount on the shaft
• Outside diameter: 6"
• Adjustable pitch: the sheave has a male half with a threaded barrel and a female half with a threaded bore. The threaded barrel has flats at 180-degree increments for the setscrew.

To change speed, move the discs closer together. The belt then rides higher in the groove, which increases the pitch diameter and the driven speed. Moving the discs apart lowers the belt in the groove, which decreases the pitch diameter and the driven speed.

The Browning VP series is made for fractional and light-to-medium horsepower drives. Any standard Browning sheave can serve as the companion sheave.
