Usage Tips
- Correct Installation: Ensure the double pulley is accurately positioned and smoothly coordinated with other components.
- Regular Maintenance: Check the wear, lubrication, and loosening of fasteners on the pulley, and keep it clean to extend its lifespan.
- Load Capacity: Do not exceed the recommended load capacity to avoid damage to the pulley or potential accidents.
- Balanced Loads: When using multiple pulleys, distribute the load evenly to maintain system stability and efficiency.
- Safety Checks: Before each use, inspect the pulley for any visible damage or defects that could compromise its performance.
Definition
- Fixed Pulley: A pulley that is fixed in one position and does not move, capable of changing the direction of force.
- Movable Pulley: A pulley that moves with the load, allowing for a reduction in effort without changing the direction of force.
Advantages
- Effort-saving: By increasing the number of rope segments, it reduces the force needed to lift heavy objects.
- Direction Change: Fixed pulleys can change the direction of force, making operations more convenient.
