HYDRAULIC PULLEY PULLER

SYNOPSIS

This project is deals with design and fabrication of a hydraulic pulley puller,
which is used for removing pulleys from the shaft and the pulley cup with the help of a
hydraulic

Initially the pulley shaft is held between two fixtures. The hydraulic is passed to
the direction control valve. The top fixture is moves up wards, so that the pulley is
removed from the shaft.

INTRODUCTION

The hydraulic pulley puller is used to removing the pulleys in the shaft by holding
the pulley shaft in between two fixtures. One of the fixtures is movable and the other one
is fixed. The principle of operation is the same as the conventional simple press. The
difference is being only in the type of drive and the type of fixtures used.

The following points reveals why we have to make use of this type of press for
removing pulleys.

Hydraulic pulley puller reduces the manual work.

This type of machine reduces working time in removing
pulleys.
By using this machine the pulleys can be removed in the various lengths of shat
(up to 600mm).
 PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

The hydraulic pulley puller is used to removing pulleys in the shaft up to a

length of 600mm. In the hydraulic pulley puller the main thing being the pressure
developed is done with the help of a pump. The oil in that pump is passed to the
cylinder.
When the oil is passed to the valve, the required speed of the piston is
obtained by adjusting its knob. When the oil is passed to the valve, the up/downward
movement of piston is controlled by the hand liver. The pulley shaft is connected to
the top fixture. A bottom fixture is fixed on the bottom plate by using bolts and nuts.

Pulley Removing procedure:

The shaft is kept vertically between the top fixture. The pulley shaft is kept in the
top of the fixture. The remaining portion of the shaft touches the bottom fixture.

At the same time the pump is loaded to get the pressure required and the hand
operated valve is manually to move the piston. The top fixture in the piston had
inserted to its required position rod pushes the pulley which is placed on the shaft.
When the pulley has removed to its original position, there will not be any further
down ward movement. Then the valve is brought to the output position in which the
air moves the piston upward and the shaft is removed.

ADVANTAGES

1. It reduces the manual work

2. It reduces the production time
3. Uniform application of the load gives perfect removing of the pulley.
4. Damages to the pulley due to the hammering is prevented
5. It occupies less floor space
6. Less skilled operator is sufficient

DISADVANTAGES

1. Initial cost is high

2. Cylinder stroke length is constant
3. Need a separate compressor

APPLICATIONS

Pulley Pressing Operation in all industries

Pulley Removing operation in all Industries
Sheet metal bending in sheet metal industries
Sheet metal bend removing in all industries
Punching operation also done
Riveting and metal forming also done with the help of separated
male and female die.
