3.7 Workmanship. Pulleys shall be free from cracks, splits, burrs, machine tool marks,
and other defects which would affect their performance.
4. VERIFICATION
4.2 Inspection and tests. The inspection and tests specified herein are intended to verify
that the items produced meet or exceed the performance requirements specified.
4.3.1 Samples. Twenty-five samples of each size of types I and II pulleys offered for
qualification shall be submitted to the qualifying activity (see 6.3). Complete information on
dimensions, construction, materials, and heat treatment, shall be furnished for each size and type
pulley submitted.
4.3.2 Inspection. The qualification inspections shall consist of all the tests listed in
table II in the order shown, on the samples submitted in accordance with 4.3.1.
4.4 Conformance inspection. Conformance inspection for types I and II pulleys shall
consist of an individual test and a sampling plan.
4.4.1 Individual test. The individual test shall consist of the following:
4.4.2.1 Samples. Sample pulleys shall be selected in accordance with ASQ Z1.4,
inspection level S-3, acceptance number zero, for all tests specified in 4.4.3, except examination
of product. The number of allowable defects shall be as specified in the contract (see 6.2).

4.4.2.2 Lot. The lot definition, formation, and size shall be in accordance with
ASQ Z1.4.
4.4.3 Tests performed on samples. The following tests shall be performed on the sample
pulleys:
4.5.4 Fungus growth. Type I nonmetallic pulleys shall be tested in accordance with
MIL-STD-810, Method 508.1. Samples shall be considered to have failed if they support fungus
in an amount that prevents or impairs flange strength or sheave strength testing.
4.5.5 Eccentricity. The inner bearing race shall be securely held in a fixture as shown in
figure 1. When the pulley is rotated through one revolution, the eccentricity tolerance measured
shall not exceed the values specified in table III. Eccentricity measurements shall be taken in
such a manner that the bearing clearance is not included as eccentricity.
4.5.6 Endurance. The general arrangement of the testing machine shall be as shown in
figure 2. The wire rope employed shall conform to MIL-DTL-83420, and shall be of the size
specified in table IV for the pulley being tested. The machine shall be operated under the
applicable conditions of table IV. Atmospheric temperature shall be not less than 50 °F. Cable
temperature shall not exceed 212 °F.

4.5.6.1 Failure under endurance test. A pulley shall be considered to have failed when
any of the following conditions develop, either during the test or at the conclusion of the test:
a. The root diameter is reduced more than 1/32-inch as specified in table IV.
b. The pulley fails when subjected to the wobble clearance and bearing strength test as
specified in 4.5.7.
c. The pulley fails when subjected to the bonding strength test as specified in 4.5.8.
4.5.7 Wobble clearance and bearing strength. The inner bearing race shall be secured to
a plane surface and the limit load applied with 180 degrees cable wrap and 2 degrees pulloff as
shown on figure 3. The minimum clearance between the plane surface and the pulley flange,
measured at the point of load application, shall be determined by placing the load at various
positions about the complete circumference of the pulley as shown on table V. The test shall be
repeated with the pulley inverted.
4.5.8 Bonding strength. The pulley shall be supported in a fixture as shown on figure 4.
The bearing shall be unsupported and free to be pushed out of the sheave in case of failure. The
load specified in table VI for the particular size pulley under test shall be applied gradually to the
inner race of the bearing perpendicular to the plane of the pulley. The maximum load shall be
maintained for not less than 10 seconds. The test shall be repeated with the pulley inverted.
4.5.9 Flange strength. The pulley shall be clamped in a fixture as shown on figure 5, in
such a manner as to hold the sheave rigidly. The diameter of the gage disk shall be as specified
on figure 5. The load specified in table VII for the particular size pulley under test shall be
applied to the inside of the flange perpendicular to the plane of the pulley, through the loading
block in line with the root diameter. Both flanges shall be tested with the load being applied 90
degrees apart. The maximum load shall be maintained for not less than 10 seconds.
4.5.10 Sheave strength. The pulley shall be mounted in the fixture as shown on figure 6
in such a manner as to permit rotation. The load specified in table VIII for the particular size
pulley under test shall be applied gradually by means of a pressure plate of the size specified in
table VIII. The maximum load shall be maintained for not less than 10 seconds. During the test,
the pulley shall receive no side support from the fixture. Failure of bearing under this test shall
not be cause for rejection of the pulley.

5. PACKAGING
6. NOTES
(This section contains information of a general or explanatory nature that may be helpful,
but is not mandatory.)
6.1 Intended use. These pulleys are used in aircraft applications, such as, control
systems and brake installations. These military unique parts of aircraft control and brake
systems require interoperability and compatibility with associated components and equipment.
This interoperability and compatibility has been assured through the strict adherence to military
requirements which contain substantial detail. The detail assures item standardization and
compatibility through specific dimensions and tolerances in the MIL-DTL-7034 specification
sheets and material control requirements in this specification. The qualification process ensures
these items will meet the flame resistance, and -65 ºF to 250 ºF, temperature requirements, and
perform as specified in the environments to which they may be subjected. Users and prime
equipment manufacturers depend on these detailed technical requirements to ensure delivered
product meets the interoperablility and compatibility requirements.
6.3 Qualification. With respect to products requiring qualification, awards will be made
only for products that are, at the time of award of contract, qualified for inclusion in QPL-7034
whether or not such products have actually been so listed by that date. The attention of
contractors is called to these requirements, and manufacturers are urged to arrange to have the
products that they propose to offer to the Federal Government tested for qualification in order
that they may be eligible to be awarded contracts or orders for the products covered by this
specification. Information pertaining to qualification of products may be obtained from Defense
Supply Center Richmond, ATTN: DSCR-VEB, 8000 Jefferson Davis Highway, Richmond, VA
23297-5616.
