The main gear in the LHC measures around 7 metres in diameter. The International Space Station (ISS) uses a pulley system in its robotic arm. It is used for various tasks, including capturing and ...

The solution? A pulley system to make everything easier. The concept is simple. [Barnso]’s system uses three pulleys. The headphone cable goes to the PC, and then runs over the first pulley.

[Skyentific] has been messing with robotic joints for quite a while, and demonstrated an interesting way to use a pulley system in a robotic joint with quite a bit of mechanical advantage and zero ...

However, it functions differently than a standard automatic and has no pre-set gear ratios thanks to a unique cone-shaped ...

Instead, they use what is essentially a pulley system, where a belt rides in a cone ... which changes the belt diameter and the gear ratio as a result. Since the valleys can change to any width ...
