Sheave design guidelines for rope
Sheave design guidelines for rope
(OP)
I am looking for a resource for sheave design guidelines. Any reference that will help me determine appropriate geometries for the given ropes that I am using. My favorites, Mark's handbook, as well as machinery's handbook, aren't very detailed on things like inner radius, lead in angle, and other basic design guidelines to follow. If anyone has a good resource I can reference I'd be very appreciative.

I may be mistaken but I think this by Shigley has a section on design of sheaves.

There is a handbook from American Steel and Wire Companies Tiger Brand Wire rope that has a lot of good data.
