MECHANISMS :two:
Rotary motion mechanisms
-
Worm gear
-
The worm gear is a screw that moves a helical cogwheel that is set perpendicular to the screw. Each time the screw rotates, the gear moves forward as many teeth as there are grooves in the screw. A worm screw fulfils this equation: N=N.Z/Z (N is the velocity of the wheels and Z the number of grooves)
-
-
Gear train
-
The gear train is a system of more than two gears, that are connected together. The rotatory motion of the gear 1 drives the gear 2 and so on. The gear ratio between the gear 1 and the gear 4 depends on the number of teeth: N³+¹/N¹=Z¹·Z³/Z²·Z³+¹ (N is the velocity and Z is the number of teeth)
-
Pulley trains with belts
-
The gear ratio between the gear 1 and the gear 4 depends on the relative size of the pulleys in the system: N³+¹/N¹=D¹·D³/D²·D³+¹ (N is the velocity and D id the diameter of the wheels)
Friction drives
-
The friction drives are made of two or more wheels that are in contact. The first wheel is called the primary wheel and it moves the output wheel.
The ratio between the rotation velocity of the wheels depends on the size of the wheels: D¹/N¹=D²/N² (N is the velocity and D is the diameter)
Linear motion mechanisms
Movable pulley
-
A movable pulley is a set of two pulleys - one is fixed while the other can move in a linear direction. A moveable pulley is balanced when it satisfies this equation:
F = R/2
Compound pulley
-
A compound pulley is a system of fixed and moveable pulleys, that are also called block and tackle.
Fixed pulley
-
A fixed pulley is a wheel that has a groove around it into which a rope, chain or a belt. A fixed pulley is balanced when the effort F is equal to the resistance of the load, R:
F = R

:gear: Mechanisms :gear:
The chain gear system of a bicycle, the gears of a clock or a watch, the lever in a seesaw and the pulley in a well are some of the examples of mechanisms.There are some diverse uses of mechanisms:
-
-
-
-
-
The mechanisms are devices that transmit and convert forces and motion from a driving force or input element to an output element. They allow us to carry out certain tasks more easily and more efficiently.
