What to Focus On

  • Pulleys transfer power through friction between belt and rim
  • Driver pulley (motor side) and driven pulley (machine side) work together
  • Speed ratio depends on diameter ratio of pulleys
  • Flat belt pulleys have solid web up to 200mm diameter
  • V-belt pulleys offer superior power transmission efficiency
  • Rope pulleys used for heavy lifting applications
  • Crowning (convex rim) prevents belt from slipping off sides
  • Rectangular taper key provides rigid shaft connection
  • Hub thickness calculated for torque requirements

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Flat belt pulleys have perfectly flat rims for the belt to run on

V-belt grooves are exactly 45° on each side making a 90° total angle

In sectional views, you must show section lines on all cut surfaces including the web
