pulley and cable

Discussion in 'SolidWorks' started by John Ciriello, Nov 11, 2009.

  1. Hi, is there any way to create a pulley and cable system? The kind where the
    cable is not a complete loop? For instance one end is connected to a weight
    and the cable goes over a pulley, and when the other end of the rope is
    pulled the weight moves. Thanks.

    We make models for analysis, manufacturing and presentation. The degree of
    realism we demand flows from the purpose of the model.

    I have been reading about coil springs and flexible hoses created in the context
    of an assembly, but I think the designers were just messing around rather than
    doing a paying job.

    Perhaps you could adapt the belt and pulley tools.

    Or experiment with linear/linear coupler.
