Types of Wheel Pulleys
-
Fixed Pulleys
-
Movable Pulleys
-
Compound Pulleys

Fixed pulleys are commonly used in lifting applications where the direction of force needs to be changed. Movable pulleys are often found in systems where mechanical advantage is needed to lift heavy loads with less effort. Compound pulleys combine fixed and movable pulleys to provide even greater advantage in lifting heavy objects.
