Pulley Clamping Design for Flat Belt B220-1200

Fitting 11 models across 4 Tacony brands — Tornado, Riccar, Simplicity and CleanMax — the Belt Pulley (part# B220-1200) is a genuine OEM replacement built to the original specification. This is a shared Tacony OEM part — the same B220-1200 fits Tornado, Riccar, Simplicity and CleanMax models — see the full Compatible Models list below.

On the Tornado Roam / 97300 / 97300C, the belt loops around this pulley to spin the brushroll from the motor. A true, smooth-running pulley keeps the belt tracking straight and tensioned so the agitator turns at full speed for effective carpet agitation.

Replace the belt pulley if it is cracked, grooved, glazed, or wobbling, or if belts are wearing or slipping prematurely. A worn pulley chews belts, lets the brushroll slow or stall, and can squeal under load. Renewing it — along with a fresh belt — restores reliable drive to the agitator.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the flat-belt pulley do in the drive system?

The flat-belt pulley (part# B220-1200) is the grooved wheel the flat belt rides on to carry motor power to the brushroll, so it is the link that turns motor rotation into brush agitation. Its clamping design grips the roller so the pulley and brushroll turn as one.

My belt keeps slipping or shredding — could the pulley be the problem?

Yes. A pulley with a glazed, cracked or grooved surface lets the flat belt slip and wear prematurely, so if you are replacing belts often it is worth inspecting the B220-1200. Renewing a worn pulley protects the new belt and restores full brush speed.

Should I replace the belt at the same time as the pulley?

It is smart to fit a fresh flat belt whenever you change the pulley, because a used belt that stretched over a worn pulley may not grip the new one correctly. Doing both together gives the drive a clean, matched pair.

Where is the flat-belt pulley (part# B220-1200) located, and what does it fit?

It sits at the pulley end of the steel agitator where the flat belt wraps it, and it fits the Tornado Roam 97300 and 97300C plus the shared Riccar, Simplicity and CleanMax uprights listed in the Compatible Models section above.
