Cast Iron Pulley Manufacturing
High-Strength, Precision-Machined, and Reliable Cast Elevator Pulley Solutions
For elevator systems to operate safely, efficiently, and for a long service life, every mechanical component used must be manufactured to high quality standards. One of the most important of these components is the cast elevator pulley, which enables the system to move. Cast elevator pulleys safely transfer the motion generated by the motor to the steel ropes and are critical products that directly affect elevator performance. The pulley’s manufacturing quality, the strength of the material used, and machining precision determine many factors, from rope service life and energy efficiency to ride comfort and maintenance costs.
As Artı Kasnak, we combine years of manufacturing experience with modern technology to offer high-quality cast elevator pulley solutions to the elevator industry. Thanks to our advanced manufacturing infrastructure, CNC machining centers, and meticulously implemented quality control processes, we carry out both standard-size production and custom manufacturing in accordance with our customers’ technical drawings. Preferred in Türkiye and many countries around the world, our products stand out with their reliability, long service life, and precision manufacturing quality.
What Is a Cast Elevator Pulley?
A cast elevator pulley is a fundamental mechanical component that transfers motor motion to the steel ropes in elevator systems. The ropes move along the pulley’s grooves, ensuring balanced operation between the car and the counterweight. Therefore, the pulley’s groove geometry, surface quality, and dimensional accuracy are of great importance for system safety.
Pulleys manufactured with poor quality or low precision may cause rope wear, vibration, noise, and energy losses over time. This not only increases maintenance costs but also negatively affects system safety. Therefore, selecting a cast elevator pulley is one of the most important factors determining elevator performance.
Artı Kasnak Cast Elevator Pulley Manufacturing
As Artı Kasnak, we prioritize quality, precision, and consistency at every stage of production. Our manufacturing process is carried out in accordance with international quality standards, from raw material selection through final quality control.
Our products can be manufactured using different material options, primarily GG25 and GGG50 (Ductile Iron). We also manufacture products in custom sizes and with custom groove geometries according to our customers’ technical drawings. In this way, we can provide the required elevator pulley solutions from a single source for both new elevator projects and modernization applications.
Our Manufacturing Process
A high-quality cast elevator pulley is backed by a planned and controlled manufacturing process.
Technical Analysis
Before production, the technical drawings provided by the customer are examined in detail. The pulley diameter, rope groove dimensions, bearing seat, shaft dimensions, and other technical details are evaluated to create the production plan.
Casting Stage
A homogeneous structure is achieved within the product through manufacturing carried out using high-quality casting materials. This minimizes the risk of cracking, deformation, and surface defects.
CNC Machining
Following the casting process, the products are precision-machined on modern CNC machines. The outer diameter, inner diameter, groove dimensions, shaft seat, and connection surfaces are machined to tight tolerances to achieve maximum precision.
Balancing and Final Inspection
All completed elevator pulleys undergo balancing inspection. This prevents vibration during operation and ensures quieter performance. In the final stage, dimensional inspection, groove inspection, surface quality checks, and general quality inspections are performed, making the product ready for shipment.

Properties of GG25 and GGG50 Casting Materials
One of the most important factors determining elevator pulley performance is the casting material used.
GG25 cast iron has been safely used in the elevator industry for many years thanks to its high machinability and strength.
GGG50 ductile iron is preferred under heavy operating conditions thanks to its higher tensile strength, impact resistance, and fatigue strength.
As Artı Kasnak, we provide technical support in selecting the most suitable material according to the application area.
Our Quality Control Process
Quality is not something inspected at the end of production; it is a value created at every stage of production.
In line with this approach, all our products undergo;
Raw material inspection
Dimensional inspection
Groove geometry inspection
Balancing inspection
Visual quality inspection
Final product verification
and many other stages before being delivered to our customers. This process ensures high precision, reliable performance, and a long service life.
