Browning AK46H Sheave
The Browning AK46H Sheave is a professional-grade, single groove power transmission component designed for high-performance HVAC and light industrial applications. Engineered from close-grain cast iron, this bushed-style pulley provides exceptional wear resistance and heat dissipation compared to stamped steel alternatives. It features a 4.45" outside diameter and is precision-machined to ensure a 3.86" pitch diameter (3L) or 4.2" datum diameter (A/4L), maintaining tight tolerances for consistent drive ratios. The unit is statically balanced at the factory to eliminate vibration, protecting motor bearings and extending the service life of your drive system.
Designed for maximum field flexibility, the AK46H utilizes H-series split taper bushings, allowing it to accommodate shaft diameters ranging from 3/8" to 1-1/2". This taper-lock bushed design ensures a secure, 360-degree concentric grip on the shaft to prevent keyway wallow. It is fully compatible with 3L, 4L, and A-section V-belts, including Gripnotch profiles, making it a reliable choice for air handlers, pumps, and blowers where smooth power transfer is critical.
Key Benefits:- Multi-Belt Compatibility: Machined to accurately seat 3L, 4L, and A belts for broad application versatility.
- Vibration Control: Statically balanced construction minimizes noise and mechanical stress on the motor and fan shafts.
- Interchangeable Bore: The H-series bushing system allows for quick sizing adjustments without replacing the entire sheave.
- High-Durability Material: Cast iron body with a baked enamel finish resists corrosion in humid mechanical rooms.
- Which bushing does this sheave require? The AK46H specifically requires an H Series Split Taper Bushing, which is sold separately to match your specific motor shaft diameter.
- Can I use this with Gripnotch belts? Yes, the precision groove profile is compatible with A-section Gripnotch (AX) belts, though manufacturer guidelines recommend checking torque ratings for bores under 1 inch.
- What is the benefit of the bushed design over a fixed bore? The split taper bushing provides a superior shaft grip that eliminates the slipping and shaft scoring often seen with standard set-screw pulleys.
