2 questions I hope someone can help me with:
1) almost all the v-belt pulleys or sheaves I find are listed as "fractional horsepower" rated. to me that sounds like you can only use on equipment with less than 1 horsepower, but I know that can't be true. what does the fractional horsepower rating mean?
2) i have had to remove pulleys from shafts many times where space behind the pulley is tight and using a puller is sometimes quite difficult or impossible to use. my question is: is it a good or bad idea to coat a shaft with anti-seize before installing the pulley to ease in removal?
thanks for any help
