Even the simplest sheaves are fairly complicated mathematical entities. To better understand them, we can construct one. Here’s how to make a simple sheaf out of straight lines. Take the underlying ...

The wire rope line from the rescue truck’s winch travels out and goes around the pulley (sheave) of the snatch block, making a U-turn. The line then returns to an anchor point at the rescue ...

Before detailing the differences of static vs. dynamic, let’s first explore balance and its importance to sheaves and the overall drive. When an object like a sheave or even the wheel on a car rotates ...

Angular misalignment occurs when the faces of the sheaves do not form a straight line. (See Figure 1.) With parallel misalignment, the sheaves may be in angular alignment, but their position on the ...

Construction resumed in December and officials say two safety sheave wheels have since been machined and polished, and are now in a controlled environment, awaiting placement. CamTran says one set ...
