A pulley is a wheel on an axle or shaft enabling a taut cable or belt passing over the wheel to move and change direction, or transfer power between itself and a shaft.

AI overview

A pulley is a wheel mounted on a shaft that allows a cable or belt to run over it, changing direction or transferring power from one place to another. This simple mechanical device matters because it makes it easier to lift heavy objects and is fundamental to how many machines transfer and control movement.
