Aeoliyan Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 I saw this double pulley from a power rack (i.e. a home gym station) on the Internet. I want to attach such a system to my power rack. Does anyone know what the following pulley is named? Can I buy that kind of pulley online? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Welcome to IFI... can't help with the pulley but this thread will help you get the best out of the forum. READ THIS FIRST Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kozzy Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Closest I can find is called a "tandem pulley" but those are slightly different (greater gap) and usually intended for true pulley applications rather than guiding. Check them out in a google image search and you might find one that would serve your purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Maybe if you would tell us what you want to do with the pulley it would help. I know you said attach to your power rack, have you tried any of the exercise forums? I have heard them called a tandem pulley too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Griffin Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 That one is special and would be called whatever the equipment manufacturer wants to call it. Try a thrift store. You may find one cheap and rob parts from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to attach such a system to my power rack. I doubt that to be a double pulley. Considering it is from a exercise machine, the purpose is to provide resistance and not to increase power. At a guess, one wheel is spring loaded to retrieve the rope and the other provides friction to make you work harder. I suppose you can find use for such set up for something in the workshop ... If I had need for such thing, I wait for the council clean up day, when half of the suburb gets rid of their exercise contraptions, and merrily walk the street selecting the best one ...

Chris C Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 I use equipment in the gym 3 days a week that uses the same "roller bearing" setup. That is neither a double pulley nor is it designed to add resistance. It is used to allow the pulling in either direction---------up or down. As the picture shows, the two rollers are on a column...............and move up and down along designated stops to change their height in relation to the user. In lower positions the user can do "curls" and other movements requiring a lifting of weight. The upper positions allow the user to work on triceps and anything else in a downward motion. Let's don't make this more complicated than it needs to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeoliyan Posted January 12, 2020 Author Share Posted January 12, 2020 The purpose of the pulley is exactly as Chris said. The following video will provide an overview of the function of such pulleys: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
