MECHANISMS
1. Mechanisms
We're surrounded by objects that move or have the capacity to move. What is it that makes it possible for these objects to move? Look at the photos:
-
The system of gears with a chain for bicycles, the cogwheels of a clock, the lever of a seesaw, the pulley used to get water from a well are some of the simplest mechanisms that are part of many mechanical objects.
-
All of these examples make our lives more comfortable and pleasant. The most important element in all of them is the motor or driving force that starts the movement. This motor can be a spring, an electric motor or our own muscles. The movement (or motion) produced by the motor can be transformed and is transmitted via different mechanisms to the output elements (wheels, hands, mechanical arms) so that the objects do the job for which they were constructed.
-
Mechanisms are devices that transmit and convert forces and motions from a driving force (input) to an output element. They enable us to carry out certain tasks with greater comfort and less effort.
We classify mechanisms in this way:
