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
Fly system used for spot rigging, where they are often equipped with swivel-pivots to divert lines across a large range of angles. Tension blocks are single-sheave blocks located at the lower end of the arbor guide track, beneath the arbor. The operating line is reeved through the tension block from the bottom of the arbor through the rope lock. Tension blocks typically ride vertically along the arbor guide system tracks, instead of being fixed, to allow for variation in the length of the operating line. Counterweights are heavy objects that are used to balance the lineset loads in a fly system. In
