Thermoset Pulley

Material 
The specific thermoset phenolic resin offers equivalent mechanical strength and heat resistance to steel. Its low density allows a product up to three times lighter.

Tailor-made design 
Hutchinson development team performs dedicated and optimized design through Finite Element Analysis (FEA).

• Definition of optimal thickness and rib reinforcement
• Integration of specific functions such as steel inserts or stretchy belt fitting

Mechanical resistance

• Heavy loads up to 4000 N
• Guaranteed screwed assembly over time
• Temperature environment -40 to +140° C

Weight reduction

• 4 times lighter in density (2 g/cm³ vs steel at 8 g/cm³) and around 3 times lighter after design
• Fuel consumption & CO2 emission reduction
• Optimized NVH behavior of the belt drive (inertia reduction)

Environment friendly

• No treatment required against corrosion
• Resistant to liquids: oil, coolant, chemicals, water, moisture, etc.
• Contains neither Lead (Pb) nor Chrome (Cr6)

High precision

• ISO 9981 compliance
