Commercial V-belts - Fractional Hp - Inch
SDP/SI offers a series of inch and metric sized V-belts. Made of reinforced rubber, these belts are oil and heat resistant and are static dissipating. Companion pulleys are also offered.
Commercial V-Belt Pulleys
SDP/SI stocks inch and metric sized Companion Pulleys for 1/4 inch (6 mm) V-belts. Pulleys offered are molded and molded with aluminum insert and range from 1 (inch) thru 6 (inch) (25 mm thru 152 mm) in diameter.
Commercial Idler Pulleys with Needle Bearings
Steel Idler Pulleys with Needle type Bearings are available for flat belts, v-belts, sprockets and timing pulleys. Standard bore sizes are: 3/16 (inch), 1/4 (inch) and 1/2 (inch).
Commercial Synchromesh Pulleys
Synchromesh Pulleys are plastic drive pulleys with helical grooves on their outside diameter to enable accurate engagement with the spiral pattern on the drive cable. The pulleys are available in the following pitches: .120, .150, .200 and .250.

Commercial Tension Tester, Pencil Type - Inch
Easy-to-use, lightweight Pencil Type Tension Gauge measures maximum deflection force of 30 lbs.
Tension Tester, Sonic Type - Inch
The Sonic Tension Meter works on the theory that belts, like strings, vibrate at a particular natural frequency based on mass and span length. The meter converts this frequency into a measurement of tension. The meter provides fast, accurate tension readings and is suitable for checking multi-ribbed belts, V-belts, and synchronous belts.
Commercial Belt & Chain Tensioners
A variety of chain tensioners are offered by SDP/SI. Maintaining proper belt and chain tension protects equipment and results in long and trouble-free operation of drive systems.
Commercial Ladder Chains
We offer a large selection of ladder chain in various materials, pitches and lengths. Plastic sprockets and metal sprockets are also available.
Commercial Ladder Chain Sprockets
SDP/SI offers plastic, steel, Stainless Steel and brass ladder chain sprockets. Sprockets and ladder chain are available off-the-shelf in a wide variety of pitches, bore sizes and number of teeth.
Commercial Roller Chains
Molded sub-miniature roller chain, miniature roller chain, plastic roller chain, stainless steel and hardened steel roller chain are offered here. Find the roller chain and roller chain sprocket for your power transmission system.
Commercial Roller Chain Sprockets
Inch and metric sized sprockets designed to operate with roller chain are available as standard catalog items. A broad selection of materials, sizes, number of teeth and pitches are offered. Bore sizes start as small as 3/32 (inch). Plastic and metal roller chains are also available.
