The DODGE 6-Groove series V-belt pulley transmits motion from a shaft to V-belts in drive systems where speed and torque need to be adjusted. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this line to industrial plants throughout the United States and Latin America, and can help you match the right pulley to your application.

Reading the code tells you most of what you need. In 6C8.5-E, the first figure gives the groove count, the letter indicates the C belt section, and 8.5 is the pitch diameter in inches. The E suffix identifies the bushing or mounting style. This naming convention lets a maintenance tech confirm belt and bushing compatibility at a glance. If your drive calls for a different size, send the code or model and the team will quote it.

Typical installations include industrial fans, compressors, pumps, conveyors and machine tools. The pulley transfers power from a motor to driven equipment while holding the transmission ratio and carrying the loads of continuous operation. You will find this series in food processing, textile, chemical and metalworking plants.

Selection depends on four variables: groove count, pitch diameter, belt section and bushing type. During installation, align the pulleys to avoid uneven belt wear and vibration. Follow the manufacturer's manual for bushing lubrication and screw torque. A clean, properly aligned mounting helps extend the life of belts and the bearings around them.

DODGE 6-Groove pulleys can replace other brands that use the same taper bushing system and groove count. The critical points are the pitch diameter and belt section, since changing either alters the transmission ratio. If no direct equivalent exists, MR can suggest an alternative or manufacture to your specifications.
