  2. Belt (mechanical) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belt_(mechanical)

    The open belt drive has parallel shafts rotating in the same direction, whereas the cross-belt drive also bears parallel shafts but rotate in opposite direction. The former is far more common, and the latter not appropriate for timing and standard V-belts unless there is a twist between each pulley so that the pulleys only contact the same belt ...

  3. Line shaft - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_shaft

    Four wool spinning machines driven by belts from an overhead lineshaft (Leipzig, Germany, circa 1925) The belt drives of the Mueller Mill, model and reality, in motionA line shaft is a power-driven rotating shaft for power transmission that was used extensively from the Industrial Revolution until the early 20th century.

  4. Toothed belt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toothed_belt

    Supercharger drive belt in a dragster. A toothed belt, timing belt, cogged belt, cog belt, or synchronous belt is a flexible belt with teeth moulded onto its inner surface. Toothed belts are usually designed to run over matching toothed pulleys or sprockets. Toothed belts are used in a wide array of mechanical devices where high power ...

  5. List of gear nomenclature - Wikipedia

    Shaft angle. A shaft angle is the angle between the axes of two non-parallel gear shafts. In a pair of crossed helical gears, the shaft angle lies between the oppositely rotating portions of two shafts. This applies also in the case of worm gearing. In bevel gears, the shaft angle is the sum of the two

  6. Lineshaft roller conveyor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lineshaft_roller_conveyor

    A single shaft runs below the rollers running the length of the conveyor. On the shaft are a series of spools, one spool for each roller. An elastic polyurethane o-ring belt runs from a spool on the powered shaft to each roller. When the shaft is powered, the o-ring belt acts as a chain between the spool and the roller making the roller rotate.

  7. Rope drive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rope_drive

    Rope drive in a hydroelectric plant Multiple rope drives driving lineshafts on each factory floor. The rope drives were placed in a large diagonal shaft at the side of the building, usually windowless and distinctively visible from outside the building. [ii] Rope drives required a larger such shaft than comparable belt or shaft drives.

  8. Chain drive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chain_drive

    Drive shafts tend to be tougher and more reliable than chain drive, but the bevel gears have far more friction than a chain. For this reason virtually all high-performance motorcycles use chain drive, with shaft-driven arrangements generally used for non-sporting machines. Toothed-belt drives are used for some (non-sporting) models.

  9. Belt-drive turntable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belt-drive_turntable

    The functional relationship between the drive belt, sub-platter, and motor pulley, can be seen through the glass platter on a Rega Planar 3.. There are three main types of phonograph turntable drives being manufactured today: the belt-drive, idler-wheel and direct-drive systems; the names are based upon the type of coupling used between the platter of the turntable and the motor.
