A deflection pulley is used to change the direction of a belt or chain, while an idler pulley is used to maintain tension in the belt or chain. In other words, deflection pulleys guide the belt around corners or obstacles, while idler pulleys help keep the belt taut and prevent slipping.

What is the difference between a pulley and a sheave?
A pulley has a bearing that it rides on and a sheave wheel usually has a brass sleeve in it to ride on. A pulley usually has a higher rpm and can take more stress than a sheave wheel. Sheave wheels can have bearings in them, but open ones as opposed to sealed ones in a pulley. Again this has to do with the amount of load required.It is possible there is no difference. Sailors usually call the 'pulleys' on their boats. 'sheaves'. pronounced 'shivs'. Anyway, the word 'sheave' in English originated in German and means 'pulley'. so go figure.*************OK, so here's a 30-year mechanic's answer. Regardless of what the original terminology was, I believe it has come to mean this: A sheave is a pulley wheel (now referred to as a pulley without the word wheel) that has a grooved circumference. Its original purpose was to transmit and/or multiply mechanical power because it is part of a lever system. A pulley also transmits power, but it is not grooved. Examples: 1) the idler pulley of your car engine, which usually acts as a spring loaded belt tensioner. 2) the guide pulley (known as a sprocket) that shifts the chain from one sprocket to another on the back of a bicycle. 3) the drive belt pulley on a farm tractor used to power old fashioned implements. None of these have grooves.So, a sheave is a pulley, but a pulley is not a sheave. Either word should get your point across. It has nothing to do with bearings versus bushings. BTW, a "bushing" used as a load bearing surface is really a bearing, it's just not a roller, tapered roller or ball bearing, but that's another argument.
What is triple screw pump?
A triple screw pump is a type of positive displacement pump that uses three screws (one power screw and two idler screws) to move fluid through the pump. This design provides smooth and pulseless flow, making it ideal for high-pressure and high-viscosity applications where precision and reliability are crucial. Triple screw pumps are commonly used in industries such as oil and gas, marine, and chemical processing.
