Does anyone know where I can buy 1" wall mount pulleys? The 1-1/2 are available everywhere but for whatever reason I can’t find any 1” ones.

Something similar to this but one inch.

What load rating are you looking for? A window covering shop may have what yo need.
Probably around 100lbs. I see the 1-1/2 inch pulleys are rated for around 400lbs so a standard duty 1 inch would probably work.

Those look like the pulleys I see in the sliding door hardware section.
The sliding door pulleys look like they mount to the floor/ceiling or top/bottom and I need one that mounts to the wall/side.

I'm guessing the diameter of the pulley can be 1" because the 1.5" wall mount one has a mounting bracket that is just over 2".
I'm confused again.

What is a 1" pulley to you? Diameter, wheel width mounting width, mounting length?

Diameter is 1.125". It looks like you don't really need a 1" pulley, or don't know if you do, but you have another dimension that you must meet. So, what is the overall size that you need it to be? Maybe you need to make an assembly that fits.

A 1” wall/ceiling mount pulley would have a 1” diameter wheel/sheave with a slightly wider mount frame/bracket.

This is a diagram of a 2” so it has a 2” sheave and a 2.5” mounting bracket.5366E793-0DBB-4B04-8F7B-BAAEBD9D61C3.jpeg

The issue with this one would be the angle I need to run the cable through. It would bind against the frame of that pulley.

It’s like pulling teeth. What is your contraption for? Increasing gravity by warping the space time continuum?
I’m trying to bring an arm down that has a wheel mounted to it on a mobile chicken coop (chicken tractor). I need to be able to mount the pulley onto a chainlink fence end clamp since I am using chainlink top rails as my framing material.

On top is the end clamp and the bottom is a 1.5” wall mount pulley. The mounting holes are around 3/8” too wide which is why I’m wanting to find a 1” wall mount pulley.63339748-E35A-4E48-AC0A-C62B10180A4E.jpeg

Yes, I could make my own bracket but I’m looking for something that is readily available/easy to repeat for others. I could also add a piece of angle to mount the pulley I have now but I’m trying to limit the list of materials.

well, that's a little more info. Why does it have to be less than 2.5" wide? Does the pulley at the bottom somehow have to attach to the clamp above?

so, again, back to sliding door rollers, why won't this work?

I will have slack in the cable and with this there would not be any way to keep the cable on when I try to apply the wheel to the ground. This will be setting in some pretty rough pasture so I want something that encases the cable.

Yes, that clamp wil be the mounting point.
so, the pulley mounts the other way? because your picture doesn't seem to match that description. Nor does the picture or the description really seem to match your earlier drawing, other than it shows a rope pulling something downward.

Correct, I will be pulling the wheel down so it lifts the coop. Here’s a quick mock up of it without the rest of the frame.8EB66500-EB38-4716-9B27-A281C64EAA8A.jpeg

Well I don't see what you're trying to do with that, but if you just need pulleys in that position why not use a standard hanging pulley through bolted in the upright position? Toothed lock washer against the tube to hold it

We are wondering why are you trying to fit it to the T bracket?


seems like you could easily shave 3/16" off each side of that stamped metal and achieve your desired width?

I'm all for making things more complex because it's more gadgety or cooler looking or whatever, but it does sure seem like you are adding constraints that make no sense in this case. Some of those at McMaster, like this one, would attach pretty easily without the T-bracket.
