QUESTIONS LIST:

  • offset link : a device for extending a chain so that it has an odd number of links.
  • cone pulley : a tapered wheel used in pairs with a flat belt to create a variable speed drive called a constant variable transmission (cvt).
  • pitch : the distance between the center of one element of a drive system and the next, or the number of such drive elements per unit of distance (usually 1 inch).
  • pulley : a drive wheel with an outer flat surface designed for a flat belt to ride on.
  • pitch diameter : the diameter of the pitch circle.
  • connecting link : a device used to connect the ends of a chain into a continuous loop.
  • crowned pulley : a wheel with a convex shape that helps keep flat belts centered.
  • tensioner : a device that applies a force to a belt or chain to keep it tight.
  • over cord : a component of v-belt construction responsible for keeping the belt strait on the long straight stretches between sheaves.
  • tracking : the process of adjusting a flat belt drive’s tension to keep it even on both sides so that it rides in the center of the drive.
  • sheave : a drive wheel with a v shaped or round groove in its outer surface designed for a v-belt or round belt to ride in.
  • pitch circle : the imaginary circle around a drive component wheel where the actual power transmission medium goes around the wheel.
  • under cord : a component of v-belt construction responsible for applying pressure to the grove walls as the belt bends around the sheave.
  • idler : a wheel in a drive system that is not attached to the driver or driven machines but is necessary to keep components of the drive system in the place where they belong.
  • wheel : any round device mounted on a shaft and designed to transmit power to another wheel or to another drive system component.
  • chain : a flexible loop composed of individual links that uses positive drive to transmit power between 2 or more wheels called sprockets.
  • lacing : a way of connecting to ends of a flat belt together.
  • tension : a force that tends to stretch something, or the process of applying such a force.
  • sprocket : a drive wheel designed to mesh with a chain.
  • belt : a flexible loop that, most often, uses friction drive to transmit power between 2 or more pulleys, sheaves, or other wheels.
  • pin link : a component of a roller chain that has link plates and pins.
