Mechanisms

Sep 24­8:10 AM

A mechanism is a device that contains two or more pieces arranged to move in series, or 

together.

Sep 24­8:11 AM

Mechanisms are used to:

• Change the direction of movement• Change the type of movement• Change the speed of the output• Change the torque or force of the output.

Sep 24­8:13 AM

Changing Direction:

Gears that are laced together move in opposite directions.

Sep 24­8:15 AM

Gear Trains:

Gear trains, or a series of gears put together, always have a drive gear (the input) and a 

driven gear (the output).

Sep 24­8:18 AM

Power Flow:

The flow of power is reversible if you can move the driven gear and the drive gear 

moves also.

Not all mechanisms are reversible!

Sep 24­8:22 AM

Types of Outputs:Rotary

Sep 24­8:25 AM

Types of Outputs:Linear

Sep 24­8:26 AM

Types of Outputs:Reciprocating

Sep 24­8:30 AM

Types of Outputs:Oscillating

Sep 24­8:34 AM

Force vs. Torque

Force: linear

Torque: circular

Sep 24­9:28 AM

Speed and Torque

Speed and Torque have an inverse relationship:

• If speed goes up, torque goes down.• If speed goes down, torque goes up.

Sep 24­8:38 AM

Gear Ratios:Gear ratios compare input and output.

Count the teeth to compare.

Sep 24­9:31 AM

If the input gear is larger than the output gear, the speed is increased.

If the output gear is larger than the input gear, the torque is increased.

Sep 24­9:24 AM

Example:

Input: 32 tooth gear

Output: 8 tooth gear

Sep 24­9:24 AM

Example:

Input: 5 tooth gear

Output: 40 tooth gear
