A simple pulley is a type of simple machine used to lift or move objects. It consists of a wheel with a grooved rim that a rope or belt wraps around. When force is applied to one end of the rope, the object on the other end is lifted or moved.

WHAT PULLEY DO I loosen to get single drive belt on?

If you are referring to the Serpentine belt, you loosen no pulley. You simply remove tension from the belt. The tension is applied by the Idler Pulley. Pry the idler back and remove the belt.If you are referring to the Serpentine belt, you loosen no pulley. You simply remove tension from the belt. The tension is applied by the Idler Pulley.

The velocity ratio of a single fixed pulley is 1. This means that the input and output speeds are equal. The pulley simply changes the direction of the force applied.

How do you change ac pulley on 1999 dodge Dakota 3.9?

That all depends on if the pulley was factory press-fit or bolted on to the compressor shaft. if its pressed on you may be able to use a pulley extractor kit (from an auto parts store in the tools section - around $20). Some press fitted pulleys simply can't be removed, however, and you'll have to replace the entire unit. If the pulley is a bolt on type, the bolt is usually a flush mounted Allen bolt near the base of the pulley shaft - simply unscrew the bolt and remove the pulley. You may still need the extractor if the pulley is hard to remove, though.


What is the ideal mechanical advantage and the direction of the input and output for a fixed pulley?

The ideal mechanical advantage of a fixed pulley is 1, as it does not provide any mechanical advantage in terms of force. The direction of the input (effort) and output (load) for a fixed pulley is the same, as the pulley simply changes the direction of the force applied.


Is a clothesline a pulley?

A single pulley alters the direction of the input but confers no mechanical advantage.


Which is better a incline plane or pulley?

A single pulley simply changes the direction of the force. A block and tackle or multiple pulleys can offer a mechanical advantage - same as an inclined plane. For the same mechanical advantage, a pulley system may be better because of lower friction.


How do you change pulley on vy commodore?

Easy, remove tensioner pulley (13mm left handed thread). Replace pulley Remove 2nd pulley (13mm I think, normal thread) Remove 3rd pulley (13mm I think, normal thread, found below 2nd pulley) Look up VY pulley on google to get a diagram and parts numbers. its simply a matter of unscrewing the bolt and sliding a new pulley in. might as well do drive belt while your there. Costs around $100 all up and takes under an hour :D
