Mechanical Advantage Using the T-Method with a Horizontal System

Calculating mechanical advantage: the T-system 1. Assume continuous strands of rope have the same amount of tension. If we start at the point where effort is applied and assume that we apply one unit of tension (1T) then we can assume that the tension along this single strand of rope will be the same throughout. …

Rock Exotica Machined Pulleys: An RRG Signet Series Presentation | Block and Tackle

Sometimes the simplest products are the easiest to cut corners on, such is not the case with Rock Exotica’s machined pulleys. Rock Exotica has reinvented the machined pulley. Their machined pulleys are milled from solid 7075 aluminum so they can take material away where it’s not needed and leave it where it is. The axle …

Mechanical Advantage Pulley System for Rope Rescue, Access & Rigging | Rock Exotica & Sterling Rope

  This video discusses mechanical advantage (MA) pulley systems, covering in short detail a 3:1 MA. The 3:1 is the common foundation upon which more compound systems can be built. The addition of another prusik and another pulley allows for a 5:1 MA. Fairly quickly and easily, one can progress to a 5:1 Complex Crevasse …
