Browning AK46X5/8 Sheave
The Browning AK46X5/8 is a high-grade cast iron sheave designed for fractional horsepower (FHP) applications, commonly found in commercial HVAC blowers and industrial fan drives. This single groove pulley features a 4.45" outside diameter and is precision-machined with a 5/8" finished bore, including a standard 3/16" x 3/32" keyway and two hollow head setscrews for a secure shaft interface. To ensure stable operation and extended bearing life, each unit is statically balanced to minimize mechanical vibration across varying RPM ranges.
This fixed bore sheave offers versatile belt compatibility, accommodating 3L, 4L, and A section v-belts. The close-grained cast iron construction provides superior tensile strength and wear resistance within the groove walls compared to stamped steel alternatives. It is finished with a gray powder coating for corrosion resistance in high-humidity mechanical rooms. Note that for optimal performance, these sheaves should not be used with Gripnotch belt ratings when the bore size is 1" or under.
Key Benefits
- Broad Compatibility: Engineered to run 3L, 4L, A, and AX series V-Belts for diverse drive configurations.
- Vibration Reduction: Statically balanced for smooth power transmission, protecting internal motor components.
- Direct Mounting: Finished 5/8" bore with internal keyway allows for immediate installation without the need for additional bushings.
- Heat Dissipation: Industrial-grade cast iron effectively manages heat buildup during continuous duty cycles.
Common Questions
What is the datum diameter for A-section belts?
The Browning AK46 has a datum diameter of approximately 4.20" when utilizing A-section belts and 3.86" for 3L belts.
Does this sheave require a separate bushing?
No, this is a fixed-bore model. It is machined to fit a 5/8" shaft directly and does not require Browning split taper or QD bushings.
Can I use this on a 1/2" shaft?
No, this specific model is bored to 5/8". For a 1/2" shaft, you must specify the AK46X1/2 variant to ensure a proper interference fit.
