Overview
The Dodge 3-3V6.00-SDS Quick Disconnect Sheave 455158 is a Type D1 fixed-pitch sheave engineered for 3V narrow-wedge belt drive systems. Manufactured from high-quality gray iron with a corrosion-resistant finish, this sheave features a quick-disconnect (QD) SDS bushing interface that simplifies installation, alignment, and future maintenance. The compact 6-inch OD design accommodates taper-lock bores from 7/16″ to 2″, making it suitable for a wide range of motor and shaft configurations.
Key Features
- Quick Disconnect SDS Bushing — Enables tool-free shaft separation and rapid bearing/motor changes
- 3-Groove Design — Optimized for high-capacity 3V narrow-wedge V-belt drives
- Type D1 Block Construction — Compact, lightweight profile suitable for smaller sheaves and confined spaces
- Cast Iron with Corrosion-Resistant Finish — Delivers long service life in industrial, agricultural, and HVAC applications
- Static Balance Standard — Rated for operation up to 6500 FPM rim speed; dynamic balance available for high-speed applications
- Taper-Lock Bore (7/16″ to 2″) — Precise centering and secure shaft fit without keyways

Typical Applications
The Dodge 3-3V6.00-SDS Quick Disconnect Sheave is widely used in conveyor systems, agricultural equipment, HVAC units, small compressors, blower drives, and general industrial power transmission where 3V belt drives require frequent access or maintenance. The quick-disconnect bushing interface is especially valuable in situations where motor or bearing replacement requires rapid disassembly without tools or shaft drift hazards. Suitable for operation up to 1750 RPM on larger-diameter motors or proportionally higher on smaller shafts, this sheave integrates seamlessly into existing belt drive assemblies.
