  2. Mechanical advantage device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_advantage_device

    A single movable pulley has an MA of 2 (assuming frictionless bearings in the pulley). Consider a pulley attached to a weight being lifted. A rope passes around it, with one end attached to a fixed point above, e.g. a barn roof rafter, and a pulling force is applied upward to the other end with the two lengths parallel.

  3. Block and tackle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_and_tackle

    A block and tackle [1] [2] or only tackle [3] is a system of two or more pulleys with a rope or cable threaded between them, usually used to lift heavy loads.. The pulleys are assembled to form blocks and then blocks are paired so that one is fixed and one moves with the load.

  4. Mechanical advantage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_advantage

    The rope is threaded through the pulleys to provide mechanical advantage that amplifies that force applied to the rope. [4] In order to determine the mechanical advantage of a block and tackle system consider the simple case of a gun tackle, which has a single mounted, or fixed, pulley and a single movable pulley.

  5. Pulley - Wikipedia

    Movable: A movable pulley has an axle in a movable block. A single movable pulley is supported by two parts of the same rope and has a mechanical advantage of two. Compound: A combination of fixed and movable pulleys forms a block and tackle. A block and tackle can have several pulleys mounted on the fixed and moving axles, further increasing ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_machine

    Pulley; Inclined plane; Wedge; Screw; A simple machine uses a single applied force to do work against a single load force. Ignoring friction losses, the work done on the load is equal to the work done by the applied force. The machine can increase the amount of the output force, at the cost of a proportional decrease in the distance moved by ...

  7. Differential pulley - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_pulley

    A dumb pulley can lift very large masses a short distance. It consists of two fixed pulleys of unequal radii that are attached to each other and rotate together, a single pulley bearing the load, and an endless rope looped around the pulleys. To avoid slippage, the rope is usually replaced by a chain, and the connected pulleys by sprockets.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_calculator

    The comptometer-type calculator was the first machine to receive an all-electronic calculator engine in 1961 (the ANITA mark VII released by Sumlock comptometer of the UK). In 1890 W. T. Odhner got the rights to manufacture his calculator back from Königsberger & C , which had held them since it was first patented in 1878, but had not really ...

    A conveyor pulley is a mechanical device used to change the direction of the belt in a conveyor system, to drive the belt, and to tension the belt. Modern pulleys are ...
