Cable pulleys
Discover the variety of our cable pulleys
Our customizable cable pulleys offer tailor-made solutions in terms of geometry and attachments for every installation situation. Available in diameters up to 100 mm, they include a wide range of materials, for example bearing steel, stainless steels, free-cutting steel, and cold-formed steel, as well as a wide variety of plastics, to meet the highest demands. Galvanized surface finishing is available for specific corrosion protection requirements.
Plastic sheathed cable pulleys
A plastic coating is ideal for protecting the cable and extending its lifetime. It’s not only economical but also offers significant weight savings compared to pure steel pulleys. By selecting various materials with specific properties, we can flexibly respond to individual customer requirements.
Steel cable pulleys
Pure steel pulleys are primarily used in applications requiring high robustness or high load-bearing capacity. They are also ideal for use in high-temperature environments. A wide selection of materials and grades is available to optimally meet specific requirements.
Cable pulleys with fastening elements
Whether with or without a plastic coating, our pulleys can be individually equipped with attachments such as screw or rivet bolts, perfectly tailored to the specific installation situation.
Thanks to the versatile options and variants of our base bodies, we offer you the option of directly expanding your product into a complete assembly unit. This saves you additional assembly steps and optimizes your processes.
Cable pulleys as sliding bearings
If the requirements for low-friction rolling, load-bearing capacity, or durability are low, pulleys can be used either as slide bearings or as separate plastic turned parts. Although the low price, you also benefit from our expertise and excellent product quality with these variants.

Areas of application for the cable pulleys
Building and Elevator Technology
Our cable pulleys meet the highest requirements for automatic door opening systems and elevator car doors. Due to the high loads, these areas are particularly subject to wear. A long lifetime is ensured by the use of maintenance-free bearings and high-performance plastics. Our pulleys enable extremely short door opening and closing cycles and increase safety, for example, through the use of fire-resistant materials.
Lifting equipment
Equipment and devices such as heavers, lifting gears, and cranes are used to lift and move loads. Safety is a key aspect in this area, which is ensured by the high quality of our pulleys. Our rope- and guide pulleys reliably manage loads and forces.
Gate technology
Our rollers are used in a wide range of gate technology applications, for example in garage doors and roller gates. They transmit forces via rope- and guide pulleys with low wear, enabling long-lasting including fast opening and closing. Since they frequently come into contact with moisture and fluctuating temperatures outdoors, we offer targeted solutions with different steel grades and coatings to ensure maximum corrosion resistance.
Stove construction
In this area, doors are raised, lowered, or pushed safely and quietly by using cable or pulley mechanisms. To handle high temperatures and ensure reliable operation, careful roller design, high-quality materials, appropriate radial clearance, and a temperature-resistant lubricant are significant factors that our products reliably meet.
Forestry and safety technology
Our pulleys are made of robust, durable materials that can withstand the demanding conditions encountered in forestry and safety technology. Whether used in rescue operations or cable access work, they ensure efficient handling and precise redirection of pulling forces and loads. They enable the smooth and controlled movement of people and equipment, with safety always being our top priority.
