Introduction:-

What are pulleys:-

 Pulley is wheel on an shaft for transferring power between belt and shaft
 pulleys can be found everywhere to make tasks easier.
 In addition to lifting things, pulleys can be used singly or with many
pulleys working together in order to transport people or things.
 Pulleys mostly changes the direction of force to make work easier.

1) cords
2) Ropes
3) cables
4)Belt’s
Main parts:-

Applications:-

 Crane and the sailboat.

 The blinds of a curtain are moved with the help of a pulley.
 To take out water from a well is one application that almost
everyone see.
 It is used in machine or mechanism.
 Pulleys are also used in vehicles to ensure that the parts of the
vehicle work smoothly.
 A Gym is one place where one can find a lot of machines
using the pulley system.

INSTALLATIONS

 1. Polish the motor shaft to remove all

burs.
 2. Remove dirt from the motor keyway.

3. Remove any burs on the key with a flat
file as well (see Fig. 2).


with a solvent (carburetor cleaner).

 Without the key in the keyway, slide the pulley onto the shaft.
 Note 1: Pulley should slide on easily by applying only hand
pressure.
 Note 2: Do not use any lubricant on shaft.
 9. Repeat steps 1-7 if pulley does not fit.
 10. Remove the pulley from the shaft and insert the key into
the keyway.

Prof. H. D. Mhatre
 11. Gently slide the pulley onto the motor
shaft.
 Note : The pulley should fit on the shaft
without any play.
 12. Align the pulley to the proper position
and tighten the pulley set screws.
 Note: Pulley set screw should tighten
down on top

Prof. H. D. Mhatre
Forces involved:-

 The Weight of the load does not change, it is the same for each trial.

 the Output force will be the force required to hold load steel it does not
change since weight remains the same.

 As more strings are added, the input force required to achieve the same
output force decreases.

Prof. H. D. Mhatre
Mechanical Advantages:-

 Work required to complete particular task is fixed

 Machine provides us mechanical advantage by decreasing input force and
increasing distance.
 Mechanical advantage = Output force/Input force
 Mechanical advantage of 1 means Input force is equal to output force
 MA =1 means work with less force but it is for greater distance
 MA = F0

Introduction:-

/Cage

 A bearing is a machine element that constrains relative motion to only

the desired motion, and reduces friction between moving parts.
 There are many types of Ball & Roller bearings.
 Each of these bearings have a different advantages based on its
construction and design.
 The selection of the type of bearing in a particular application depends
Prof. H. D. Mhatre
upon the requirement of the application and the characteristics of
different types of bearings.
 General Overview of Bearing
Mountings :-

 Design engineers established the following terms :-

1. Cleaning the bearings and related parts.

2. Checking the dimensions and finish of related parts.
3. Mounting.
4. Inspection after mounting.
5. Supply of lubricants.

Prof. H. D. Mhatre
MOUNTING PROCEDURES :-
 Depending on the size of the bearing and the application, there
are different methods for mounting roller bearings. In all methods,
certain basic rules must be followed.

CLEANLINESS :-

• Choose a clean environment, free from dust and moisture.

• The installer should make every effort to ensure

cleanliness
by use of protective screens and clean cloths.
PLAN THE WORK :-

• Know in advance your plans and have the necessary

tools
at hand. This reduces the time for the job and decreases
Prof. H. D. Mhatre
the chance for dirt to get into the bearing.
How to Mount Bearings

 When bearings are mounted incorrectly the balls will cause

brinelling (dents) on the raceway due to this bearing
performance as well as life of bearing also decreases.
 Several general rules apply to mounting bearings.
 When assembling a bearing on its shaft or in a housing, the
care should be taken that no force to be applied to the balls.
 When mounting a bearing to a shaft always press the inner
ring whereas when mounting into a housing press the outer
ring.
 Never apply force to the outer ring when mounting to a shaft
or to the inner ring when mounting into a housing.
1. When manually fitting a shaft into a bearing through its
bore do not force the shaft because it may cause brinelling to the
bearing.
Prof. H. D. Mhatre
 2. After gluing a bearing to a housing using a guide through the
bearing bore take the guide out very carefully or it may cause
brinelling to the bearing.
3. When motors are being assembled bearings may be attracted
by the magnet and hit something that will causing brinelling. 
4. To avoid this, hold the motor shaft in your palm and carefully
insert the rotor. 
5. Brinelling would also occur when bearings are automatically
press-fitted to a rotor shaft if the shaft and bearing bore are not
kept accurately in line through their bore.
 For dismounting i.e to remove the bearing, bearing tools to used.
Generally Bearing Pullers may used to remove bearing.

Prof. H. D. Mhatre
 Generally Fitting with a press that means press fit is widely used
for small bearings.
 A mounting tool is placed on the inner ring as shown in Fig. 1
and the bearing is slowly pressed on the shaft with a press until
the side of the inner ring rests against the shoulder of the shaft.

Prof. H. D. Mhatre
Prof. H. D. Mhatre
Corrective Bearing Fitting :-
  Mounting bearings using a hammer causes damage due to sharp
impacts.
 So the effective way is to mount press fit bearings using a pressing
arbor or other designed to provide a uniform face.

Prof. H. D. Mhatre
Bearing Care :-

 Bearings are very susceptible to impacts and shock

loads!

Prof. H. D. Mhatre
Mounting of bearing on

 The precautions to be taken during the mounting

operation are as follows: -
 (i) Mounting should be carried out in a dust free and
dry environment. Machines which produce metal
particles, chips or sawdust should not be located in the
vicinity of the mounting operation.
 (ii) Before assembly, the shaft and the housing bore
should be inspected. The burrs on the shaft and the
shoulders should be removed. The accuracy of the
form and dimensions of the shaft and bearing seat in
the housing should be inspected.

 (iii) The bearing should not be taken out from its package
until before it is assembled. The rust-inhibiting compound
on the bearing should not be wiped except on the outer
diameter and bore surface. These inner and outer surfaces
are cleaned with white spirit and wiped with clean cloth.
 (iv) Small bearings are mounted on the shaft with the help of
a small piece of tube or ring. Blows are applied by means of
a hammer on this tube or ring. Direct blows should never be
applied to the bearing surface, otherwise the race or the cage
may get damaged. The tube or the metallic ring is placed
against the inner race and the blows are applied with an
ordinary hammer all around the periphery of the ring.

 (v) Medium size bearings are mounted on the shaft by

pressing the tube or the metallic ring by means of a
hydraulic or mechanical press. Large size bearing is
mounted by heating it to 80° to 90°C above the ambient
temperature by induction heating and then shrinking it on
the shaft. The bearing should never be heated by direct
flame.
 The interference fit between the outer race and the
housing is obtained by similar methods, viz., by applying
hammer blows on a metallic ring or tube which is in
contact with the outer race or by using hydraulic or
mechanical press or by heating the housing.
