Question

Is there a way to draw this figure using autoCAD with the given dimensions? If so, can you draw a layout with the dimensions?

A countershaft carrying two V-belt pulleys is shown in the figure. Pulley A receives power from
a motor through a belt with the belt tensions shown. The power is transmitted through the shaft
and delivered to the belt on pulley B. Assume the belt tension on the loose side at B is 15 percent
of the tension on the tight side.

Explanation / Answer

Steps to draw-

Step 1- For hinge part or end supports,

Take front view which consists of a semicircle mounted on a rectangle, draw in 2D then use extrude command the end support is ready.

for 2 end supports copy the same drawing and place the two at some distance apart as given in problem. these two should be fixed at their positions using ground command.

Step 2- Draw two pulleys of different dimensions as given in problem.

To draw a pulley use circle command and then give thickness using extrude command.

Step 3-

Make a cylindrical shaft of given dimension. this can be done using either cylinder command directly or use circle command and extrude it to length equal to length of shaft.

Step 4

now assemble pulleys on shaft and position it appropriate distance by sliding on shaft and then fix the pulleys on their positions and fix them.now make pulley and shft a complete body.

Step 5

Use assembly to insert the ends of shaft to end supports and fix them

The figure will be completes this way.

Dear student if a draw and send a snapshot then it is of no meaning and will be just like a picture of your problem so i have given the steps to draw now you can try it by yourself.
