PULLEY SUPPORT ASSEMBLY

This project presents a Pulley Support Assembly designed and assembled in CATIA V5. The assembly consists of a pulley mounted between two support brackets and fixed onto a base plate using standard fastening elements. The design demonstrates fundamental mechanical assembly concepts such as shaft support, rotational motion, and structural mounting. The model is suitable for learning assembly constraints, mechanical component positioning, and machine element design in CATIA. Software Used CATIA V5 Part Design Assembly Design Drafting Workbench Components Included Base Plate Support Brackets Pulley Wheel Shaft/Axle Hex Bolts Nuts and Washers Mounting Hardware Key Features Fully constrained assembly Rotating pulley mechanism Rigid bracket support structure Parametric component design Standard fastening arrangement Easy-to-manufacture geometry Working Principle The pulley rotates freely around the shaft mounted between the support brackets. The assembly is designed to guide belts, ropes, or cables while reducing friction and ensuring smooth motion transmission.
