National Aerospace Standards: Standards maintained by SAE International and widely used in the aerospace manufacturing industries. The "National" formerly implicitly referenced the US, but today NAS and other standards are used globally. Standard hardware for aerospace work sometimes uses the NAS- prefix in the catalog numbers.

Usually the term refers to the six classical simple machines that were defined by Renaissance scientists: [3] [4] [5] Lever; Wheel and axle; Pulley; Inclined plane; Wedge; Screw; A simple machine uses a single applied force to do work against a single load force. Ignoring friction losses, the work done on the load is equal to the work done by ...
Examples of rope and pulley systems illustrating mechanical advantage. Consider lifting a weight with rope and pulleys. A rope looped through a pulley attached to a fixed spot, e.g. a barn roof rafter, and attached to the weight is called a single pulley. It has a mechanical advantage (MA) = 1 (assuming frictionless bearings in the pulley ...
The lever was also used in the shadoof water-lifting device, the first crane machine, which appeared in Mesopotamia circa 3000 BC, [4] and then in ancient Egyptian technology circa 2000 BC. [6] The earliest evidence of pulleys date back to Mesopotamia in the early 2nd millennium BC, [7] and ancient Egypt during the Twelfth Dynasty (1991-1802 BC ...
A block and tackle [1] [2] or only tackle [3] is a system of two or more pulleys with a rope or cable threaded between them, usually used to lift heavy loads.. The pulleys are assembled to form blocks and then blocks are paired so that one is fixed and one moves with the load.
A conveyor pulley is a mechanical device used to change the direction of the belt in a conveyor system, to drive the belt, and to tension the belt.Modern pulleys are made of rolled shells with flexible end disks and locking assemblies.
