Rope System With Stretching Mechanism

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on designing a rope system with a stretching mechanism using pulleys. The rope, made of stainless steel, has a diameter of 1-2 mm and operates at a surrounding temperature of approximately 500°C. Participants suggest utilizing a stretching gear, which can be adjusted using a hanging mass or a spring combined with a stretching screw to achieve the desired tension in the system.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of pulley systems and their mechanics
  • Knowledge of materials suitable for high-temperature applications
  • Familiarity with tensioning mechanisms, including springs and screws
  • Experience with stainless steel properties and applications
NEXT STEPS
  • Research various types of stretching gears suitable for high-temperature environments
  • Explore the mechanics of tension adjustment using hanging masses
  • Learn about the design and application of spring tensioning systems
  • Investigate the properties of stainless steel at elevated temperatures
USEFUL FOR

Engineers, designers, and hobbyists involved in mechanical systems, particularly those focusing on high-temperature applications and tensioning mechanisms in rope systems.

I am working on a rope system with pulleys as you see in the picture. The diameter of the rope is about 1-2 mm. I am looking for a stretching mechanism for this system.

Do you know any accessories that i can use here for this purpose?

Note: Rope is made of stainless steel and the surrounding temperature is about 500 C.

Many Thanks,

yanikomer

You may tray a stretching gear. The stretching force can be a hanging mass or regulated by a spring and a stressingscrew
