a wheel over which a rope, chain or belt passes. Pulleys can be used to change the speed of a mechanism. If a large pulley is connected by a belt to a small pulley, the small pulley turns faster causing an increase in speed. If a small pulley drives a large one, there is a decrease in speed but an increase in power.

A pulley is a wheel with a groove along its edge, also called a sheave, for holding a rope or cable. Pulleys are usually used in sets designed to reduce the amount of force needed to lift a load. However, the same amount of work is necessary for the load to reach the same height as it would without the pulleys.
