Clamped Pulley

Joseph Humpston

Hey Guys! My name is Joe! I'm from Charleston SC, and recently, I just bought a Stan Winston DVD on Cable mechanisms. I found it more than helpful! I got one thing to ask. Do you guys know how to machine the clamped Pulleys of the controllers Richard Landon used in the tutorial?

Hi Joseph,

Here are a couple threads that have a bit of info on those joysticks:

Those should give you a bit of a better look at how they are designed.

Hope that helps!

Thank You! I'm working on my own Joystick as we speak! What I want to know is, how I can mod a clothesline pulley to have a cable clamp on it. I guess what I'm trying to ask is, how can I machine a cable clamp.
