Treadle with Cord and Pulley: Ideal Diameter Comparison
Compare effective driver and driven pulley diameters, circumferences and ideal speed ratio. Actual RPM requires a shaft-speed input and real transmission behavior.
Treadle to Disk via Connecting Rod: Ideal Geometry Comparison
Explore a treadle-and-pitman arrangement beside a simplified in-line slider-crank angle comparison. The calculation does not solve the full treadle linkage.
Crank with Treadle Mechanism Explained: How a Foot Pedal Drives Rotary Motion, Parts, Diagram
Explore a foot treadle, pitman and crank. Calculate target foot stroke, crank throw, pitman ratio and peak downstroke torque for the stated mounting geometry.
Spring Lathe-wheel Crank Mechanism Explained: How It Works, Parts, Diagram & Formula
Spring Lathe-wheel Crank explained — how the spring-loaded return powers a foot-treadle lathe, with formulas, sizing examples and real workshop applications.
Treadle Mechanism: Pitman, Flywheel and Ideal Rate Comparison
Explore a treadle and pitman driving a flywheel. Compare entered cycle rate, speed multiplier and crank dimensions without predicting power or linkage fit.
