depends on what the pulley is on...some pulleys on air compressors are cast aluminum... others are made of steel both machined and pressed

2. Pulleys on older sail ships were commonly made of wood for cheapness and corrosion resistance. Today, any suitably rigid material may be used, depending on the service environment. Metal, plastic, ... .

What is the velocity ration of a pulley?

The velocity ratio of a pulley system is the ratio of the rotational speed of the driving pulley to the driven pulley. It indicates how the speed of the driven pulley relates to the speed of the driving pulley. The formula is: Velocity Ratio = Diameter of driving pulley / Diameter of driven pulley.


How do you calculate velocity ratio in a pulley?

To calculate the velocity ratio in a pulley system, divide the diameter of the driving pulley by the diameter of the driven pulley. This ratio indicates how much faster or slower the driven pulley rotates compared to the driving pulley. It helps to determine the speed or force transmission in the pulley system.


What is the different between Driver pulley to driven pulley?

The driver pulley is the pulley connected to the power source (like a motor), while the driven pulley is connected to the driven load (like a conveyor belt). The driver pulley transfers rotational force to the driven pulley through a belt or chain, allowing the load to be moved or operated.


what is pulley system in equilibrium?

In a pulley system in equilibrium, the forces acting on the pulley must be balanced. This means that the tension in the rope pulling on each side of the pulley is equal, resulting in a state where the pulley is not moving. This equilibrium condition is reached when the net force acting on the pulley is zero.


How do you remove a pulley?

To remove a pulley, you typically need to use a pulley puller tool. First, release tension on the belt connected to the pulley. Then, follow the specific instructions for your vehicle or equipment to use the pulley puller to gently remove the pulley without damaging surrounding components.
