Where as, this one would seem to work better. The pulley could turn X^infinity in either direction and the power would always be converted to the same rotary torque
HI All,
I'm trying to source an efficient gear that translates clockwise and ant-clockwise rotation in clockwise only torque on a shaft.
**Hoping to find a supplier that would have something like this on the shelf pre-engineered with known efficiency***
The pulley would oscillate X turns to...
