A cam is a rotating or sliding piece in machinery that is designed to make contact with another part and impart motion. A pulley, on the other hand, is a wheel with a grooved rim used to change the direction of a force or transmit power. Essentially, a cam is used to convert motion while a pulley is used to transmit motion.

What is the difference between a fixed pulley and movable pulley?

The difference between a fixed pulley and a movable pulley is, the wheel of a fixed pulley does not move because the wheel is attached to a wall, ceiling, or other object. Unlike a fixed pulley, a movable pulley's wheel does move. The wheel on a movable pulley is not attached to a wall or other object. A fixed pulley changes work by changing the direction of a force. A movable pulley changes work by reducing the input force needed to lift heavy objects. A movable pulley changes the direction of the input force and reduced it. A movable pulley also increases the output force.

What is the difference between deflection and idler pulley?

A deflection pulley is used to change the direction of a belt or chain, while an idler pulley is used to maintain tension in the belt or chain. In other words, deflection pulleys guide the belt around corners or obstacles, while idler pulleys help keep the belt taut and prevent slipping.


What is the difference between a wheel and a pulley?

there are two kinds of pulleys. A movable pulley and a fixed pulley. But a wheel and axle have a lever and a inclined plane. [someone] :]


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.

How on a r reg bravo 1.4 12valve do you work out the timing marks must be close cus it just keeps back firing any help please?

You really need a timing tool kit to do this accurately. The kit contains a locking tool for the crankshaft, a locking tool for the cam (fits on one of the cam lobes) and in some kits, you also get the tools for tightening the cam belt pulley and for tightening the cam belt tensioner. The cam belt pulley can be adjusted one or two cogs while the the cam is locked (loosen the bolt holding the pulley) in order to ensure perfect timing of the cam belt. However, you can try a simple solution, with the risk of not quite getting there... The timing mark for the cam belt pulley is located towards the front of the car, as part of the black plastic sheild on the inside of the pulley. Line it up with the mark on the pulley. The mark for the crankshaft pulley is located diagonally up towards the front of the car, between 1 and 2 o'clock when you face the crankshaft pulley. Ensure that the mark on the crankshaft pulley lines up with this when the markings on the cam pulley/-timing mark is lined up. Also make sure that the cam belt is TIGHT between these pulleys when it's timed up. When it's timed up and the tensioner is tightened (make sure it's tightened to the right point!), use a lever to turn the crankshaft clockwise until both pulleys are back to their timing marks (two turns on the crank, I think). Make sure both pulleys still are timed up perfectly. If you still have problems after this, buy a timing tool kit!
