A rope drive anchoring assembly includes a pulley, a rope, and a rope connector. The pulley is adapted to be rotationally mounted and has an inner surface, an outer surface, and a fastener opening extending between the inner and outer surfaces. The rope engages at least a portion of the outer surface of the pulley and is adapted to receive a drive torque, which causes the pulley to rotate. The rope connector couples the rope to the pulley, and includes a fastener, a threaded bolt, and a spring. The fastener extends through the fastener opening, and has a first end, a second end, an outer surface, and an opening through which the rope extends. The threaded bolt is threaded onto the fastener threads, and the spring is disposed between the threaded bolt and the inner surface of the pulley.
