A cable sheave with 16″ outside diameter, a 0.5″ wire rope groove, weighing approximately 120 lb. The U-shaped groove is sized to the wire rope diameter to support the rope across the groove radius and limit contact stress and rope wear.

UTEC Industrial precision-machines this sheave from high-alloy, fine-grain steel billets and performs in-house induction hardening of the groove surface with hardness verification before shipment. Full raw material chemistry documentation — the complete chemical composition of the steel — is available with every order. UTEC has manufactured crane wheels and sheaves in the United States since 1983.

Typical service is hoist, crane, and wire-rope reeving systems. See UTEC’s wire rope sheave technical references for guidance on groove geometry and rope sizing.

This sheave is one standard configuration. Approximately 90% of UTEC's production is built to customer drawings or reverse-engineered from worn samples, so dimensions, alloy, hardness target, and heat treatment can all be changed. Configure this sheave →
