Cast Iron Pulleys
Double Wheel Awning Pulley Fixed Eye, Cast Iron Steel
A double-wheel awning pulley with a fixed eye, made from cast iron and steel, designed for use in awning systems to guide and control the ropes or cords during opening and closing. The two sheaves on a common axle reduce friction and wear, improve operational stability, and extend rope life. Available in sizes from 20mm to 70mm, with packaging details per carton provided.

Key Benefits
What Double Wheel Awning Pulley Fixed Eye Gives You
- Two sheaves on a single axle reduce rope friction and wear during repeated operation
- Fixed eye design allows secure mounting to structural supports without rotation
- Cast iron body with steel components provides durability under continuous load
- Smooth sheave surfaces prevent rope chafing and extend cord life
- Compact design fits standard awning frame configurations without bulk
- Reduces effort required to open and close awnings by distributing load across two wheels
- Longer service life compared to single-wheel pulleys due to load sharing

How It Compares With The Alternatives
An honest read on where this pattern wins and where another one would serve you better.
| Alternative | Honest Trade Off |
|---|---|
| Single-wheel pulley | The double-wheel version reduces rope friction and wear, but requires more space and has higher initial cost |
| Swivel pulley | The fixed eye prevents rotation, which is better for stable mounting but limits alignment flexibility |
| Plastic pulley | Cast iron offers greater durability and load capacity, but is heavier and more expensive than plastic |
Use Guide
How To Use And Inspect Double Wheel Awning Pulley Fixed Eye
- Ensure the fixed eye is mounted securely to a load-bearing structure
- Align the pulley so the rope runs straight into and out of the sheaves
- Inspect the sheaves regularly for wear or binding before operation
- Use the correct rope diameter to match the sheave groove size
- Avoid side loading or twisting the pulley during use
- Replace the pulley if the sheave shows deformation or the eye is cracked
