Explanation:

Crowning of pulley:

  • The rim of the pulley of a flat belt drive is slightly crowned to prevent the slipping off the belt from the pulley.
  • The crowning can be in the form of a conical surface or a convex surface.
  • Generally, if a pulley is made up of two equal cones or a convex surface, the belt will tend to climb on the slope and will run with its center line on the mid-plane of the pulley.
