 Quad Parallel Pulleys

Quad parallel pulley is made of 4 parallel plastic sheaves assembles on a steel frame with brass axles and rivets.

Each sheave can spin freely and independently and the steel spacers are integrated in the frame for extra strength and balance.

Two, quadruple parallel plastic pulleys can be combined to form a quadruple fixed/quadruple moveable block and tackle pulley system.  These pulleys have sheaves with deep V-grooves with diameters of 50 mm.

Pulleys are often used as parts of compound machines. They function as helper machines, easing the lifting power. In fact, a pulley system can cut the force necessary to lift a very heavy object in two, four, etc., depending on the designed system. With these pulleys you can study and measure the force and distance trade off with compound machines. These pulleys are good for science experiments as well as functional tasks.

The picture shows a block and tackle design using twisted nylon string (100% Nylon) along with a weight, both of which are not included.

Set of two quad parallel plastic pulleys with steel frame have a part# or product code of PP5555_S2. With this set you can reduce the lifting force to 1/8th. Educational pulley systems and individual plastic pulleys with metal frames are used in teaching about pulleys in physics and mechanics education. They are not recommended for industrial applications.

Pulley Lines or Pulley Strings

You will need high quality strings or ropes for your pulleys. This pulley requires a 2-mm string. Please see the available pulley lines and make sure you order the right size for your pulleys.
