Pulleys and wire pulleys for wire drawing machines
Wear-resistant pulleys for redirecting and guiding wire.
Pulleys and wire pulleys are among the key components that come into contact with the wire in wire drawing machines and their peripheral equipment. They guide the wire along the intended path, enable changes in the wire’s direction, and ensure stable and uniform wire travel. Since the wire runs directly over the contact surfaces of these pulleys, the material, surface quality, and design have a direct impact on the wire surface, component wear, and the process stability of the system.
NABER & WISSMANN supplies wear-resistant pulleys and wire pulleys for wire drawing machines as well as for downstream equipment such as wire annealing, coating and winding machines.
Wire pulleys - Solutions for a variety of applications
The requirements for pulleys and wire pulleys vary depending on the wire material, wire diameter and system design. For this reason, different pulley designs and material combinations are used.
The NABER & WISSMANN product range includes, among other things:
- Ceramic-coated aluminum pulleys
- All-ceramic pulleys
- Ceramic-plastic-composite pulleys
- Ceramic-aluminum-composite pulleys
- Hardened or coated steel pulleys
Wear-resistant coatings and materials
The selection of suitable materials and coatings is critical to the service life of the pulleys and the quality of the wire surface.
Typical coatings include:
- Aluminum oxide coatings
- Chromium oxide coatings
These ceramic coatings offer high resistance to wear and tear protect the pulley surface from abrasion by the wire.
In addition to coated pulleys, all-ceramic solutions or composite materials are also used when there are particularly high requirements for wear resistance or weight.

High-gloss polished wire contact surfaces
The surface quality of the wire contact surfaces has a decisive influence on the resulting wire surface. Rough or damaged contact surfaces can cause surface defects on the wire or generate particles that negatively impact the drawing process and downstream processes.
For this reason, the wire contact surfaces of the pulleys are highly polished. The very smooth surfaces reduce friction between the wire and the pulley, minimize abrasion and help ensure a uniform, high-quality wire surface.
Standard pulleys and custom solutions
We offer a wide range of standard-pulleys and wire pulleys for various wire diameters and system configurations.
In addition, we also develop and manufacture custom pulley solutions for specific applications.
Our range of services includes:
- Standard pulleys for wire drawing machines and wire drawing lines
- Custom pulley dimensions and designs
- Adaptations to specific machine designs
- Custom solutions for specialized wire processes
Pulleys as a key factor in process stability
Pulleys and wire pulleys play a key role in ensuring the stability of the wire-feeding process. Wear-resistant materials, precise geometries and high-quality surfaces ensure smooth wire feeding and reduce the risk of wire damage.
NABER & WISSMANN's pulley solutions are designed to operate reliably even under demanding production conditions and to support the quality and efficiency of wire production.
