Design of Cast Iron Pulley
The pulleys are used to transmit power from one shaft to another by means of flat belts, V-belts, or ropes. Since the velocity ratio is the inverse ratio of the diameters of driving and driven pulleys, the pulley diameters should be carefully selected in order to have the desired velocity ratio. Let us discuss the Design […]
Different Types of Pulleys for Flat Belts
The pulleys are used to transmit power from one shaft to another by means of flat belts, V-belts, or ropes. Since the velocity ratio is the inverse ratio of the diameters of driving and driven pulleys, the pulley diameters should be carefully selected in order to have the desired velocity ratio. Let us discuss Different […]
How to Calculate Power Transmitted by a Belt?
The belts or ropes are used to transmit power from one shaft to another by means of pulleys that rotate at the same speed or at different speeds.
