Think about your ten speed bicycle. The bike is in the lowest gear when the front sprocket is on the smallest diameter and the rear is on the largest. On the contrary, when the bike is at high speed, the rear is on the small diameter sprocket and the front is on the large diameter sprocket.

Therefore, increasing the drive pulley size will increase the driven pulley speed (assuming the drive pulley stays at the same RPM). Similarly, increasing the driven pulley size will result in a slower speed (again, assuming the drive pulley stays at the same RPM).

Just answer the question. It's from 10 years ago, lol.

Small driving big is faster and then of course big driving small is slower.

How do you reduce the speed of a 15 kW 3 phase motor without using variable speed control?

If the load is connected to the motor via belts, you can change the speed the load is turning by changing the pulley sizes. To get the load to slow down, increase the size of the pulley on the load; to get it to speed up, increase the size of the pulley on the motor. To reduce the speed of the motor itself, you'll have to alter the line frequency, which you can't do without a variable frequency drive attached to the motor.

Can you change snowblower pulley size?

It depends on the snowblower, belt type and what you arer trying to achieve by making the change. The replacement pulley(s) will have to be the same shaft id as the original to start. Next make sure that there is room inside the snowblower for the new pulley. Thirdly the belt may have to change depending on the pulley size that you choose. There are many different pulley types and sizes available. Be aware of the changes that are made because they can decrease the snow throwing ability and also affect the drive speed and vice versa.


When do you use pulley?

1-To force change. 3-to move to change. 4-speed. 5-force 6 We high-speed we at least. 7-force at least.


Can acceleration change with out increase or decrease speed?

yes the 3 types of acceleration are increased speed decrease speed or change in direction.

When a body undergoes an acceleration does its speed increase or decrease?

Both. Acceleration is a change in speed.


The rate of change in the speed of an object is called?

Acceleration, it can be both increase and decrease in speed. .


How do you increase the speed of a turn?

In general, the way to increase speed of a turn is to add more energy. And, depending on how that energy is added, it can result in either acceleration or change in vector, both technically can be considered a change in speed.
