Author Topic: Help With Pulley On Takeup Motor Don Furr Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 509 From: Sun City, Ca USA Registered: Nov 2002 posted 03-07-2016 06:14 PM                     I'm installing an external takeup system that uses a SPECO motor that was missing the pulley when I bought it. To make this project work properly I need a V belt pulley that measures 2 5/16" in diameter and a bore of 3/8". I can't locate one anywhere. Does anyone have an old SPECO motor with a pulley of that size or does anyone know a source where I could purchase one? I've been on the internet all afternoon with no luck.  |  IP: Logged Tony Bandiera Jr Film God Posts: 3067 From: Moreland Idaho Registered: Apr 2004 posted 03-07-2016 09:00 PM                     One option would be to get a pulley with a 1/2" bore and use a "shaft sleeve" or adapter. (I got some at a local motor shop some years ago, if I recall they were only about $5-10 each. Also check Monarch Bearing's website, they stock or can order some pulleys. Monarch Bearings If I recall they can get or make custom parts at not too great of a premium.  |  IP: Logged Don Furr Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 509 From: Sun City, Ca USA Registered: Nov 2002 posted 03-08-2016 09:01 AM                     Problem solved.
