Mechanical Variable Speed Pulleys & Accessory Components
Hi-Torque MVSDs®
Speed Selector designs and manufactures mechanical variable speed pulleys, drives and sheaves. Our pulleys last longer than competitor brands and we feature INSTANT SHIPMENT from our large inventory. Proudly made in the USA.
With our in-stock items, we are able to cross over to most other brands such as Hi-Lo, Lovejoy, T.B. Woods, Reeves, Browning, Gerbing, and Lewellen.
We offer a wide variety of standard drive packages ranging from fractional through 125 HP capacity, and up to a 10:1 output speed ratio. We specialize in custom designed pulleys, sheaves and accessories in both high and low volumes.
Aluminum vs. Cast Iron Pulleys
Speed Selector has proprietary coatings for our aluminum pulleys that outlast cast-iron pulleys by at least 5 times. Aluminum provides numerous other benefits such as lighter hung weight, heat dissipation and longer belt life due to reduced heat.
If you are accustomed to cast iron, you should give aluminum a try as our aluminum pulleys will exceed your experience with cast iron.
