Design Equations for Sheaves using Wire Rope
Design Equations for Sheaves using Wire Rope
(OP)
Does anybody know the equations for calculating stresses in a sheave? I know the P=2*T/D*d equation for sizing a sheave diameter for the wire rope. I have what I believe is a single piece steel rim pulley and for use at low speeds.

RE: Design Equations for Sheaves using Wire Rope
6 x 7 rope, reg. lay, 550 psi
6 x 19 reg lay, 900 psi
6 x 37 reg lay, 1075 psi
8 x 19 reg lay, 1260 psi
6 x 7 lang lay, 600 psi
6 x 19 lang lay, 1000 psi
6 x 37 lang lay, 1180 psi
Wire rope manufacturers could probably offer you more insight, if required.
