SHAFTING AND PULLEYS.
Couplings and Adjustable Self-Oiling Hangers and Boxing.
This important branch is one of our specialties. Having had made in
Massachusetts expressly to our order and for this particular purpose
tools equal to any in the United States for speed and accuracy, we are
prepared to furnish and keep ready to ship the supplies under this head.
The shafting, gear and pulleys properly proportioned are next in
importance to the motive power.
1st. Shafting should run perfectly true and be turned to a gauge
throughout its entire length.
2d. Couplings well fitted and easy to remove.
3d. Pulleys symmetrical in proportion and nicely balanced.
4th. The bearings should be self-oiling and adjustable, as by settling
of the building or other causes their position changes.
With all of these items complied with, there will be less trouble and
delays as well as a large per cent. of power saved.
In our price list we have fixed a price to each pulley, hanger, &c., for
the convenience of our customers, and we here will say that in buying
our work you do not pay for useless iron, while every part is strong and
sufficiently heavy. Those wishing estimates by weight or wishing to
purchase by weight, can always be accommodated.
OUR PULLEYS are turned, bored, correctly balanced and key-seated or
set-screwed. For table of sizes see price list. All those over 36 inches
diameter we are prepared to furnish with wood rims put up in a superior
manner, of hard and soft dry timber, turned inside and out, well oiled,
painted and balanced. The spiders are after the style shown in the cut
under head of Elevators, &c., (represented as leaning against the
Elevator.) The first segment or circle of the wood rim is of hard wood,
and is carefully fitted to the iron spider and lug provided to receive
the pressure and driving incident to the transmission of the power
required. Clamp bolts let partly into the wood are provided to always
keep the spider binding in the rim. No pulley rim is liable to get loose
on the arms or spider when built by us.
OUR SHAFTING is turned by a special machine made for the purpose, and no
variation in size will be noticed. Pulleys, gear or bearings may be
placed at any point with a perfect fit.
