Moveable pulleys can move freely, and if you’ve ever been on an elevator you have experienced a machine that utilizes this type of pulley system. One unique aspect of a movable pulley is that it only has one part that is attached to a fixed object, usually either a beam or a bar. E...

Continuously variable transmissions, or CVTs, function the same as an automatic transmission with one significant difference - there are no gears, instead operating through the use of belts and pulleys. Sensors are equipped with the transmission that feeds information to an onboard computer, adjusting...
Although center drives are usually in the center of a conveyor’s frame, you can place them anywhere along the conveyor, assuming it does not contact the end pulleys or rollers. Otherwise known as mid-mount drives, these drives mostly contain three rollers instead of a single roller. Center ...
There are two types of band saws; large stationary and small portable ones. The tall stationary band saws are mainly composed of large pulleys, which are located above and below the cutting table. They move a continuous band of teeth through the material being cut. They are mainly used when...

To date, no consensus exists as to whether one exercise type is more effective than another in chronic neck pain. This systematic review and meta-analysis of systematic reviews aimed to summarize the literature on the effect of various exercise types used in chronic neck pain and to assess the...
You’ll also see two single pulley machines placed close together — or a single large machine that features two separate weight stacks and pulleys. These are ideal for complex range of motion exercises like cable flys or overhead cable presses. ...
Instead, two variable pulleys and a single v-belt are used. This allows for the transmission to variate between a range of ratios, whilst the car is moving along. CVTs usually offer a lot of smoothness in normal day-to-day driving thanks to the lack of shifting. Thus, because the car...
Water wheel design has evolved over time with some water wheels oriented vertically, some horizontally and some with elaborate pulleys and gears attached, but they are all designed to do the same function and that is too, “convert the linear motion of falling water into a rotary motion which...
