  2. Mechanical advantage device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_advantage_device

    Examples of rope and pulley systems illustrating mechanical advantage. Consider lifting a weight with rope and pulleys. A rope looped through a pulley attached to a fixed spot, e.g. a barn roof rafter, and attached to the weight is called a single pulley. It has a mechanical advantage (MA) = 1 (assuming frictionless bearings in the pulley ...

  3. Belt problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belt_problem

    The belt problem. The belt problem is a mathematics problem which requires finding the length of a crossed belt that connects two circular pulleys with radius r 1 and r 2 whose centers are separated by a distance P. The solution of the belt problem requires trigonometry and the concepts of the bitangent line, the vertical angle, and congruent ...

  4. Atwood machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atwood_machine

    The ideal Atwood machine consists of two objects of mass m 1 and m 2, connected by an inextensible massless string over an ideal massless pulley. [1] Both masses experience uniform acceleration. When m 1 = m 2, the machine is in neutral equilibrium regardless of the position of the weights.

  5. Belt (mechanical) - Wikipedia

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

    The preferred center distance is larger than the largest pulley diameter, but less than three times the sum of both pulleys. Optimal speed range is 1,000–7,000 ft/min (300–2,130 m/min). V-belts need larger pulleys for their thicker cross-section than flat belts.

  6. Capstan equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capstan_equation

    where is the angle (in radians) between the two flat sides of the pulley that the v-belt presses against. [5] A flat belt has an effective angle of α = π {\displaystyle \alpha =\pi } . The material of a V-belt or multi-V serpentine belt tends to wedge into the mating groove in a pulley as the load increases, improving torque transmission.

  7. 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.

  8. Conveyor pulley - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conveyor_pulley

    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 made of rolled shells with flexible end disks and locking assemblies.

  9. Differential pulley - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_pulley

    The differential pulley was invented in 1854 by Thomas Aldridge Weston from King's Norton, England. [2] The pulleys were manufactured in collaboration with Richard and George Tangye. According to Richard Tangye's autobiography, the Weston differential pulley evolved from the Chinese windlass, with an endless chain replacing the finite length of ...
