Differential pulley were. Next, the downward force acting on the lower pulley equal the upward forces acting on it, so Additionally, there is no net torque or moment around the compound pulley, so the clockwise torque is equal to the anticlockwise torque: Substituting "F" and "F" from the above equations, Rearranging gives As "F" = , Finally, the mechanical advantage, = or . Differential pulley A differential pulley, also called "Weston differential pulley", sometimes "chain hoist" or colloquially "chain fall", is used to manually lift very heavy objects like car engines. It is operated by pulling upon the slack section of a
Wire rope spooling technology pattern is engineered to suit the rope's length, diameter and construction type. In any multi-layer spooling application it is important that when the rope is first installed on the drum, it is done so under tension to avoid any slack on inner layers that can be crushed or nicked against the groove walls by outer layers. The fleet angle is defined as the largest angle of the rope between the first sheave and the drum flange, relative to the centre line of the drum. With all type of drums, the rope is subject to a fleet angle which impacts on
