The guide wheel, return rope wheel, and guide wheel are three commonly used wheels in the mechanical industry, all of which have different functions and application scenarios in motion. The specific differences are as follows:
1. Traction wheel: A traction wheel is a type of wheel with a flange, mainly used to grasp ropes or steel cables on objects and pull them forward, similar to a pulley type, which can distribute weight load to multiple points to reduce single point stress. Traction wheels are widely used in various mechanical equipment, elevators, lifting equipment, etc.
2. Rope return wheel: The rope return wheel is usually made of metal and has U-shaped or V-shaped grooves, which can allow any sealing rope material such as steel rope and cable to move along a specific path of the wheel without entanglement. Rope return pulleys are often used on equipment such as cranes, tower cranes, and cranes that need to lift tall and slender objects.
3. Guiding wheel: Guiding wheel, also known as directional wheel, can be used to control the direction of objects, in order to more accurately manage and ensure the normal operation and movement of equipment. Guiding wheels are widely used in various transportation machinery (such as electric vehicles, golf carts), as well as in the guidance and control of heavy equipment (such as ships, automobiles, industrial robots).
In summary, traction wheels, return rope wheels, and guide wheels are important components in the mechanical field, and suitable wheels need to be selected according to different application scenarios to improve the performance and efficiency of the machine.
