🚡 Cable Car Drive Terminal: Bullwheel Rope Traction, Wrap Angle, Slip Limit, Power and Emergency Braking (2D)

Side view of a cable-car drive terminal with a grooved bullwheel, the haul rope wrapped around it, a hydraulic tensioner, motor, gearbox and brake. Set rope speed, wheel size, wrap angle, lining friction, tensioner force, cabins, passenger load, slope and brake force, and see tension build up around the wheel, the slip limit, shaft power, motor speed and stopping distance. Five in-page numerical checks; illustrative loads, not a ropeway design.
