Function of a Cable Drum
A cable drum is used to wind and store ropes or steel cables in a transmission system, ensuring the orderly arrangement and use of the ropes.
Advantages of Cable Drum Application
- Enhanced Safety: Orderly winding of ropes prevents tangling and knotting, reducing accidents caused by rope issues.
- Easy Maintenance: The design of the cable drum makes it easier to replace and maintain the ropes.
Working Principle of a Movable Pulley
A movable pulley acts as a force-saving lever, with its axis moving along with the object being pulled. When lifting heavy objects, it reduces the required force but does not change the direction of the force.
Advantages of Using a Movable Pulley
- Force-saving: Using a movable pulley reduces the force needed to lift heavy objects, increasing work efficiency.
- High Flexibility: The movable pulley can be adjusted in position as needed, making it suitable for various lifting scenarios.
