Coatings for metal

For metal sheaves only, do you need a a METAL CARBIDE HARD COATING covering the entire sheave, or, a CERAMIC (metal oxide) HARD COATING in the groove? Either choice has a secondary release agent coating. The price is the same for either coating. Pricing depends on the diameter and width of the sheave. Press calculate to see the cost for this option.

No - My application does not require a hard coating in groove or over entire sheave

Yes - Metal Oxide Coating

Yes - Ceramic Hard Coating

For 14" or larger STEEL sheaves only, we recommend FLAME HARDENED GROOVE - Pricing depends on sheave size. Press calculate to see the cost for this option. We will oven preheat, spin surface harden the rope groove utilizing a controlled polymer quench solution, and oven temper for 8 hours to achieve 350-400 BHN at 1/8” total case depth.

No - My application does not rquire flame hardening

Yes 14” to 15.9” OD ($138 each)

Yes 16” to 17.9” OD ($178 each)

Yes 18” to 19.9” OD ($218 each)

For aluminum sheaves only, do you need it to have an ANODIZE treatment for 100% of the sheave - Pricing depends on sheave size. Press calculate to see the cost for this option. 🛈
