pulleys
Posted: Fri Feb 17, 2012 5:45 pm
Hi
I am wondering if there is a pulley smaller than the 1.75" MS20220-1 pulley
that might be acceptable for use on the rudder cables where the rear cabin
angles inward behind the seats?
ASS lists a 1" diameter A223 pulley that will take a 1/8" cable but it is just a
plain phenolic pulley without a bearing. I am wondering if something like that
might be better than the fair leads or if it is even an acceptable use. If I use
a pulley, I would like to keep it as small as possible. The large fair leads
probably bend the cable with a larger radius than a small pulley though.
If anyone needs pulleys for elevator cables, I ordered the M-660-000 from
Wag-Aero at $1.75, and received new 4.25" MS20220-3 pulleys. Shipping adds a bit
but they are cdn$40. locally.
