Conveyor pulley a hub and bushing on lower tension pulleys. The shell is also referred to as the rim in some parts of the world. The pulley shaft is typically sized following CEMA B105.1 in the Americas or AS 1403 in Australia. Pulley manufactures in Germany (DDR) in 1962 included Zemag, Lauchhammer, and Köthen. 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. Early pulley engineering was
Block and tackle more precise estimate of efficiency is possible by use of the sheave friction factor, formula_12 (which may be obtainable from the manufacturer or published tables). The relevant equation is: Typical formula_12 values are 1.04 for roller bearing sheaves and 1.09 for plain bearing sheaves (with wire rope). The increased force produced by a tackle is offset by both the increased length of rope needed and the friction in the system. In order to raise a block and tackle with a mechanical advantage of 6 a distance of 1 metre, it is necessary to pull 6 metres of rope through the
