How conveyor belt head pulley works?

A Conveyor belt's head pulley is also known as the drive pulley, its on this end of a conveyor system where the motorized pulley is installed. At this point the conveyed material is discharged "wherever" and the belt wraps around and begins its return cycle. The head pulley is at the discharge so that the conveyed material is "pulled" through the system vs. having the tail pulley motorized which would be forcing the system to "push" the belt containing the conveyed material.


How are pulleys used to change the chuck speed of a pillar drilling machine?

The pulley attached to the motor usually has a large wheel on bottom, two medium wheels in centre of the stack and a small one on top. The front, or spindle pulley, is fitted with the large wheel on top. The drive belt can go from top at back, to top at front -thus driving the spindle slowly. If you changed the belt to the big motor pulley and a small spindle pulley the spindle would rotate faster.


Do idler pulley change the direction of rotation?

Yes, idler pulleys can change the direction of rotation in a belt-driven system. They are used to guide and tension the belt, allowing it to reroute around obstacles or to achieve the desired alignment of components. While the idler pulley itself does not directly drive any load, its placement can effectively alter the path of the belt and the direction of the rotational motion transmitted through the system.


How do you gear down one quarter hp motor to run a 55 gallon barrel at 12 to15 RPMs what size pullys or sprockets?

Assuming the motor runs at about 3000 RPM, The speed must be reduced by factor of about 200 for 15RPM. Two sets of pulleys or gears would be best. Gears with a chain would not be good due to the high motor speed. You could get 180:1 by putting a 2" pully on the motor, and running a belt to a 30" pulley which is on a shaft along with another 2" pulley, and run that pulley to another 24" pulley. If the barrel is well-mounted and freely turns, you could use it as the second pulley, since it has a 24" approximate diameter. You can also use three sets of pulleys, making it esier to find them. example: 2" motor to 12" on shaft 1 2" on shaft 1 to 12" on shaft 2 2" on shaft 2 to a 10" or 12" one driving the barrel. Consider buying a used worm gear reduction drive to save alot of this trouble. The motor can drive it directly and they come in different ratios.

Can the drive pulley be bigger than the driven pulley?

Yes.


What the difference between a driven and a driven gear?

The "driving" or drive gear is the source of power or rotation. The driven gear is turned or moved by the drive gear. Example: The pulley on a motor is the drive pulley and a pulley on a pump is the driven pulley. Example: The pinion gear in a differential is the drive gear and the ring is the driven gear.


Pulleys and belts will result in the fastest rotation?

Large drive pulley, small driven pulley = faster rotation but less torque. Small drive pulley, large driven pulley = slower rotation but more torque.

How does a a lawn tractor drive pulley work?

A lawn tractor drive pulley is connected to the engine crankshaft and transfers power to the transmission. As the engine rotates, the drive pulley spins and drives the belts that are connected to the transmission, allowing the lawn tractor to move forward or backward. By adjusting the position of the drive pulley on the engine shaft, the speed and direction of the lawn tractor can be controlled.
