We have already discussed what a flywheel is and its uses in the previous article. A flywheel used in machines serves as a reservoir that stores energy during the period when the supply of energy is more than the requirement and releases it during the period when the requirement of energy is more than the supply. In the […]
What is the Fluctuation of Energy?
We have already discussed what a flywheel is and its uses in the previous article. A flywheel used in machines serves as a reservoir that stores energy during the period when the supply of energy is more than the requirement and releases it during the period when the requirement of energy is more than the […]
What is the Coefficient of Fluctuation of Speed?
The ratio of the maximum fluctuation of speed to the mean speed is called the coefficient of fluctuation of speed. The difference between the maximum and minimum speeds during a cycle is called the maximum fluctuation of speed. Let us discuss how the flywheel can reduce the fluctuation of speed. Flywheel We have already discussed what a […]
How to find the Factor of Safety for Chain Drives?
We have discussed belt drives and rope drives that slipping may occur. To avoid slipping, steel chains are used. The chains are made up of a number of rigid links which are hinged together by pin joints to provide the necessary flexibility for wrapping around the driving and driven wheels. These wheels have projecting teeth of special profile and fit […]

Chain Drive: Terminology, Classification and Advantages
We have discussed belt drives and rope drives that slipping may occur. To avoid slipping, steel chains are used. The chains are made up of a number of rigid links which are hinged together by pin joints to provide the necessary flexibility for wrapping around the driving and driven wheels. These wheels have projecting teeth of […]
How to Calculate Stresses in Wire Ropes?
When a large amount of power is to be transmitted over long distances from one pulley to another (i.e. when the pulleys are up to 150 meters apart), then wire ropes are used. The wire ropes are widely used in elevators, mine hoists, cranes, conveyors, hauling devices, and suspension bridges. The wire ropes run on […]
Wire Rope: Classification, Properties, Construction
Wire rope comes under the Rope drives. The rope drives are widely used where a large amount of power is to be transmitted, from one pulley to another, over a considerable distance. It may be noted that the use of flat belts is limited for the transmission of moderate power from one pulley to another […]
Rope Drives: Fiber ropes, Wire ropes
The rope drives are widely used where a large amount of power is to be transmitted, from one pulley to another, over a considerable distance. It may be noted that the use of flat belts is limited for the transmission of moderate power from one pulley to another when the two pulleys are not more […]
V-Belt Drives and Pulleys
We have already discussed that a V-belt is mostly used in factories and workshops where a great amount of power is to be transmitted from one pulley to another when the two pulleys are very near to each other. Let us discuss more details on the V-Belt Drives and Pulleys. The V-belts are made of fabric and […]
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. The material used for belts and ropes must be strong, flexible, and durable. It must have a high coefficient of friction. Let us see How we can calculate Power […]
Understanding the Basics of Brake System Design
Brake systems play an instrumental role in the safety and performance of any vehicle, underlining the significance of their design and maintenance. A clear comprehension of their basic components – brake pedals, master cylinders, brake lines, and rotors – forms a solid foundation from which to appreciate their functionality. Going beyond this basic knowledge, it […]
