SHEAVE (MECHANICAL)

A 'sheave' (pronounced "shiv") is a wheel or roller with a groove along its edge for holding a belt, rope or cable. When hung between two supports and equipped with a belt, rope or cable, one or more sheaves make up a pulley. The words ''sheave'' and ''pulley'' are sometimes used interchangeably.
