Motor pulley for an old Ingersoll Rand type 30 compressor




By rjulian on Sep 01, 2009

" "
I have an old Ingersoll Rand Type 30 horizontal tank compressor that was given to me by my father-in-law. He jury-rigged a motor to drive it as it had no motor when he got it. The compressor has a 3 groove pulley but the motor was set up with 2 aluminum pulleys which lined up with the two outer grooves on the compressor pulley. This worked well for about 5 years but I continuously had issues keeping the belts tight enough to prevent slipping and the aluminum pulleys finally gave out. The pulleys were approx. 2.25” in OD. I have found 3 groove cast iron pulleys that will fit my motor but none that small; the smallest OD available is 3.75”. In reading another person’s solution here for their compressor motor pulley problem, I’m wondering if 3.75” may be too small for the intended design of the compressor…?
Here are the specs: The compressor is an Ingersoll Rand Type 30, size 5 & 3X31/2, Model 253, S/N 30T 115---
It was originally built/sold by Berg – DiMare & Berg Pumps, Air Compressors, Motors located (at the time) on Haverhill Street in Boston, Mass.
The motor on it (not original) is a capacitor start 5hp, 3450 RPM, 230 Volt with a 5/8” shaft.
Since it worked for so long with the small 2.25” pulleys, I’m pretty sure it’ll work fine with the 3.75” cast iron one as well, but I kind of wanted a better fit as to the size it should have.

- I forgot to mention that the compressor's pulley is 17.5" in OD...

Hi,
Here is a link to Ingersoll-Rand (compressed air division) where you can find a local distributor. I think a call to a parts tech might provide the original motor sheave outside diameter and belt size (I'm suspecting "A" or "B" size).

http://www.ingersollrandproducts.com/contact/air/index.aspx

With that info, here is a link to a good industrial source for your new motor sheave (McMaster-Carr):

http://www.mcmaster.com/#v-belt-sheaves/=3fwz7b

Their prices aren't so bad.
You may also have a local industrial sales in your area.
I hope this helps you... Nice compressor!

Think you have a problem with to small of a pulley @ 2.25 O.D. to pull that pump using a 3600 rpm motor, If you contact a I.R. distributor about that pump they should be able to tell you the recommended motor H.P. , rpm, and pulley sizes it should run at. Trust me, don't start guessing, will spend a lot of money quick if you are wrong!
