Pulley:
 
A pulley is a wheel on an axle or shaft that is designed to support movement and change of direction of a cable or belt along its circumference. Pulleys are used in a variety of ways to lift loads, apply forces, and to transmit power. To create a Pulley between two solids, you must choose the link type from the Pulley toolbar then the Pulley Properties panel will appear on the left-side.
