The area of the pulley where the internal locking device is mounted.
What is the hub?
What is an internal locking device?
This device connects a shaft to another shaft.
What is a coupling?
This device mounts the pulley shaft to the drive or gearbox's hollow shaft.
What is an external locking device or shrink disc?
The sides of the pulley, at the ends of its cylindrical shape.
What are end discs?
The most popular/traditional solution in the U.S. market for pulley to shaft connection.

What Rota Free shaft to shaft coupling was brought to market in 2026?
The Rota Free AGMA Gear Coupling.
The term for the metal plate used for slowing down a shaft.
What is a brake disc?
The round outer metal casing that makes the cylindrical wall of the pulley.
What is the shell?
These four Conex are recommended for use with conveyor pulleys.
What is Conex ES, P, F, and FS?
This type of corrosion is not present when using a Conex FC.
What is fretting corrosion?
This type of gearbox reduces RPM and outputs an increased torque.

The two main materials lagging is made from.
What is rubber and ceramic?
These three variables are needed to verify a internal locking device's torque compatibility against an application.
What is the locking device's transmissible torque, the application's transmitted torque, and the applied bending moment?
This Conex is most commonly used in when a Conex FC is in the internal locking device configuration.
What is the Conex F?
These are three types of the many gear reducers.
