Meet the Wear Wolf - Innovating with our Customers in Mind

For years customers in the field have hard surfaced the contact bars on wing pulleys for increased life and wear properties. This was performed by running a hard surface weld bead down the contact bar. This unfortunately prestressed the welds on the entire wing pulley leading to catastrophic failure.

The evolution of hard surfacing was Abrasion Resistant (AR) plate. Manufacturers began using AR plate for the contact bars. This allowed for no prestressed welds and was efficient to install, offering a cost-effective solution.

Although those two options were good, Luff strives to provide the best to its customers, which has led to the development of the Luff Wear Wolf material. The proprietary material blend, that boasts 66 Rockwell C while maintaining ductile properties, is used when manufacturing the new Wear Wolf Wing Pulley. This masterful material has demonstrated wear properties 4 times better than AR plate and with 100% surface coverage on the contact bar this is also outlasting hard surface welding 2-3 times.

When operating in high wear applications, the Wear Wolf Wing Pulley is the only solution! For more information, please contact a sales rep near you!
