Calculating mechanical advantage: the T-system The subtle but significant difference to this system… a pulley on the load and the main line terminated at head of the tripod. We have a 6:1 mechanical advantage in the pulley system. 1. Assume continuous strands of rope have the same amount of tension. If we start at the

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.

Two Rope System The Two Rope System is used as an alternative to deflection lines or Tyrolean traverses when spanning large gaps. It incorporates two main lines and two belay lines that work together. While one system lowers, the other raises. When the haul becomes to difficult for the hauling team, the lowering team simply

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

This sequence takes a page out of the nautical use of block and tackle hauling systems. By reeving double sheave pulley in the manner described here, the practitioner will acquire valuable skills in building a more efficient pulley system. The way we address knots, MAs (Mechanical Advantages), and Anchors in these videos are more general
