Scag Split-Steel Pulleys
 |
Scag mowers feature split-steel pulleys for increased
strength, reliability and reduced wear on pump and cutter deck
drive systems. Split steel pulleys are lighter in weight and stronger
than cast iron. They are also stronger than stamped pulleys.
As
split-steel pulleys are made from a single piece of steel, no balance
holes are required, unlike a cast pulley where they must be balanced
and drilled. These drill points for balancing can create weak points.
The reduced weight (less rotational inertia) of the pulleys makes it easier for
blades and other drive components to rotate up to speed. They also allow the
electric clutch brake to stop the cutter blades faster with less wear on the
clutch rotor and armature. In short, the split-steel pulley design adds to the
life of drive components and reduces maintenance time and cost. |

Scag Split-Steel Pulley Benefits
- Stronger than cast-iron pulleys
- Stronger than stamped pulleys
- Lighter-weight than cast-iron pulleys = less wear and tear
on the drive systems
- No extra balance holes required / pulley is balanced
- Retains the use of taper-lock hub design for easy servicing
- Black oxide coating for reduced corrosion
- Scag uses split-steel pulleys for all drive applications
(spindles, pumps, etc)
