Sheaves

Machine Sheaves

Hollister-Whitney produces sturdy, well-engineered sheaves which have consistently been the industry’s favorites for several decades. Our range features car, counterweight, overhead and deflector sheaves that include steel shafts, bearings, support blocks and mounting hardware as standard.

Compensation Sheaves

The Hollister-Whitney Compensating Rope Tension Sheave Assembly is designed to provide tension to the compensation ropes and guide them as the elevator travels. This helps ensure that the compensation ropes run smoothly. This assembly is available in both single sheave and twin sheave configurations. The twin sheave model can be customized for larger rope spans and additional weight racks can be added on some configurations for additional tension if needed.
