Item Name:
Covington Parts - Tumbler Motor Pulley 1/6 HP
SKU:
COVPUL098-1/6
Description:
The Tumbler Motor Pulley 1/6 hp is a replacement motor pulley designed for Covington rolling tumbler systems equipped with a 1/6 horsepower motor. This pulley is a precision-machined metal component that mounts directly to the motor shaft and works in conjunction with a belt drive to transfer rotational power to the tumbler drum. The pulley size and ratio determine the effective speed at which your tumbler barrel rotates, directly influencing the grinding and polishing action on your stone load. This part is essential when the original pulley is worn, damaged, or requires replacement during routine maintenance to restore optimal motor performance and consistent tumbling action.
How it is used:
- Disconnect power to the tumbler and allow the motor to come to a complete stop.
- Remove the motor cover and belt guard to access the motor pulley.
- Loosen the set screw or retaining bolt holding the worn pulley to the motor shaft.
- Slide the old pulley off the motor shaft and install the replacement pulley in the same position.
- Tighten the set screw securely and reinstall the belt guard and motor cover.
- Check belt tension and alignment before restarting the tumbler.
