MasterDrive Advantage
Sheaves, bushings, jaw couplings and belting are frequently thought of as commodity products. They are offered by many suppliers, look and functionally perform similarly. However, there are still important considerations in choosing a supplier from both a Product, Service, and Availability standpoint.
The Product
- Control over the quality, engineering, design, and availability.
- All sheaves and bushings come from a single foundry in China. We don't broker production out or move it around so we have consistent production flow and stringent control from original castings to finish product.
- The best looking product on the market.
- Every part, sheaves and bushings (except powdered metal H bushings) are phosphate coated. The phosphate coating yields the best paint adhesion and corrosion resistance in the marketplace. Sheaves then receive a baked enamel finish for durability and long life.
- Sheave mounting flexibility.
- MasterDrive offers 3 mounting arrangements utilizing QD Bushings, DST Bushings and TL Bushings all from stock.
- All sheaves are balanced for smooth trouble free operation.
