This pulley is used where the application requires the highest pump RPM available from the 2B fixed-bore series — typically on Cast Air compressors with larger single-stage pump designs where the motor is sized to sustain the increased load. If your original 8.75\" motor pulley is worn or damaged, this is the direct OEM-spec replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote: Cast Air did not provide a dedicated manufacturer product page for this pulley.\u003c\/strong\u003e Specifications are drawn from the product listing and standard 2B pulley engineering conventions. Call us to confirm fitment for your application before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe 8.75\" OD Motor Pulley — What It Means for Pump Speed\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn 8.75\" motor pulley is the largest in the Cast Air 2B fixed-bore 1-3\/8\" series. Paired with a 14\" flywheel on the pump side, this produces a drive ratio of approximately 1.6:1, driving the pump at about 1,094 RPM from a 1,750 RPM motor. That is at the upper limit of the safe operating range for most Cast Air single-stage pump designs. This pulley should only be used as a replacement for the same OD — do not upsize a motor pulley without verifying the pump and motor are rated for the resulting pump RPM and increased load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePulley Specification Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGroove Profile:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2B (two B-section V-belt grooves)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBore Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fixed bore — 1-3\/8\" (1.375\") shaft diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOuter Diameter (OD):\u003c\/strong\u003e 8.75\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication:\u003c\/strong\u003e Motor-side pulley for belt-drive air compressors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Castair belt-drive compressor systems with 1-3\/8\" motor shafts and B-section belts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePart Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e P2B875-13\/8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eIs This the Right Pulley for Your Application?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 8.75\" OD is not a universal upgrade — it is a specific replacement for compressors that were designed and shipped with this size motor pulley. If your compressor originally had a smaller motor pulley and you are considering upsizing to increase CFM, verify with us first. Running a pump faster than its design RPM accelerates wear on the piston rings, valves, and connecting rod bearings, and can overheat the pump. Use this pulley as a like-for-like replacement, not a performance modification, unless you have confirmed the pump supports it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFixed Bore vs. Taper-Lock\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFixed bore (this pulley):\u003c\/strong\u003e Bored to exactly 1-3\/8\".
