Abstract (en)

The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a pulley (1) for motor vehicle applications starting from a plane disk (21), which has a central axis (A) and defines a reference plane (P) orthogonal to said axis (A); the method comprises the steps of: bending an annular peripheral portion (51) of the disk (21) in a direction transverse to the reference plane (P) so as to define a rim (59) in relief; deforming, in a first axial direction (S), a central portion (52) of the disk (21) so as to generate a first cup-shaped portion (53); deforming, in a second axial direction (T) opposite to the first direction (S), a central portion of the first cup-shaped portion (53) so as to generate a second cup-shaped portion (86) axially projecting from the opposite side of the reference plane (P) with respect to the rim (59); reducing the axial height of the second cup-shaped portion (86) with respect to the reference plane (P) so as to increase the thickness thereof; and carrying out a coining operation on a surface (13) of the second cup-shaped portion (86) that is parallel to the reference plane (P) and faces the opposite side of the reference plane (P) itself to generate a plurality of radial impressions (15).
