  2. Differential pulley - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_pulley

    Next, the downward force acting on the lower pulley equals the upward forces acting on it, so F L = F W + F Y, or 2 F W because F W = F Y. Additionally, there is no net torque or moment around the compound pulley, so the clockwise torque is equal to the anticlockwise torque: F W R + F X r = F Y r + F Z R. Substituting F X and F Y from the above ...

  3. Continuously variable transmission - Wikipedia

    Steel-reinforced V-belts are sufficient for low-mass, low-torque applications like utility vehicles and snowmobiles, but higher-mass and -torque applications such as automobiles require a chain. Each element of the chain must have conical sides that fit the pulley when the belt is running on the outermost radius.

    1. Sheave without a rope. A pulley is a wheel on an axle or shaft enabling a taut cable or belt passing over the wheel to move and change direction, or transfer power between itself and a shaft. A sheave or pulley wheel is a pulley using an axle supported by a frame or shell (block) to guide a cable or exert force.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semi-trailer_truck

    A cab over semi-tractor. Tractor with an end-dump trailer. A FAW semi-trailer truck in China. A semi-trailer truck[1] (also known by a wide variety of other terms - see below) is the combination of a tractor unit and one or more semi-trailers to carry freight. A semi-trailer attaches to the tractor with a type of hitch called a fifth wheel.

  7. International WorkStar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Workstar

    The International WorkStar is a line of severe duty trucks produced by Navistar, Inc. [ 1 ] The WorkStar is the successor to the 7400 and 7600 series trucks produced by International. Starting in 2008 the "thousand series" name was dropped in favor of the WorkStar. This change was reflected in the physical construction of the truck in the form ...

  8. Torque multiplier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torque_multiplier

    A torque multiplier is generally used when there are space limitations that disallow the use of long handles. They are also used as a safer alternative to a cheater bar as lever length and operator effort are both reduced. Finally, torque multipliers allow for more accurate torque. By reducing the amount of effort needed to tighten, a torque ...

  9. Belt (mechanical) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belt_(mechanical)

    Belt (mechanical) A belt is a loop of flexible material used to link two or more rotating shafts mechanically, most often parallel. Belts may be used as a source of motion, to transmit power efficiently or to track relative movement. Belts are looped over pulleys and may have a twist between the pulleys, and the shafts need not be parallel.
