PULLEY

ASSEMBLY
 INTRODUCTION
A pulley is a wheel on an axle or shaft that is designed to support movement and change of direction of
a taut cable or belt along its circumference. Pulleys are used in a variety of ways to lift loads, apply
forces, and to transmit power. In nautical contexts, the assembly of wheel, axle, and supporting shell is
referred to as a block.

PARTS OF PULLEY

 Washer-A washer is a thin plate (typically disk-shaped, but sometimes square) with a hole
(typically in the middle) that is normally used to distribute the load of a threaded fastener,
such as a bolt or nut.

 Nut-A nut is a type of fastener with a threaded hole. Nuts are almost always used in
conjunction with a mating bolt to fasten multiple parts together. The two partners are kept
together by a combination of their threads' friction (with slight elastic deformation), a
slight stretching of the bolt, and compression of the parts to be held together.
 Bushing-A plain bearing, or more commonly sliding bearing and slide bearing (in
railroading sometimes called a solid bearing or friction bearing, is the simplest type
of bearing, comprising just a bearing surface and no rolling elements. Therefore,
the journal (i.e., the part of the shaft in contact with the bearing) slides over the bearing
surface.

 Bracket-A pulley bracket attaches a pulley wheel to a wall or ceiling. There are three
types of basic pulley bracket: those that are eye-, side- and top-mounted. They are used to
give the pulley support and structure while giving the pulley enough freedom and
weightlessness to operate without reducing the amount of energy it can transfer to the job
being done. This makes the bracket a crucial element of the whole pulley system.

 Pulley Wheel- A pulley is a wheel on an axle or shaft that is designed to support

movement and change of direction of a taut cable or belt, or transfer of power between the
shaft and cable or belt.
APPLICATIONS:
Pulley is a simple machine with varied complex uses. Pulleys are used to change the
direction of an applied force, transmit rotational motion, or realize a mechanical
advantage in either a linear or rotational system of motion. The advantage is that in
exchange for very little effort, difficult tasks can be completed. Pulley manufacturer acts
as an asset for the common user so as to create motion transfer with the least amount of
effort.
Pulleys have miscellaneous uses such as lift loads, apply forces, and to transmit power. It
is designed to support movement of a cable or belt along its circumference.

 Pulley used for drinking water – Use to lift water from the well by making use of
pulley

 Pulley in Flag Raising – Use to raise the flag to its pole.

 Pulleys in Elevators – Used in lifting the cars where counterweight is used to balance
the weight of the car.

 Pulley in Vehicles – Pulleys is used in vehicles to increase their power and make them
run more smoothly.

 A gym is one place where one can find a lot of machines using the pulley system.
 Pulley systems are used in industrial machines across different applications from
production floor to delivery room.
