  1. Mechanisms Examples

  2. Where Do You Find a Simple Gear Train A. Driven Drive Two meshed gears will rotate in opposite directions. Found in: • Watch • Sewing Machine • Motor B. Driven Drive

  3. Where Do You Find a Simple Gear Train with Idler? An Idler Gear allows the drive and driven gears to rotate in the same direction. Driven Idler Drive Found in - Paper Transport Rollers

  4. Where Can You Find a Bevel Gear? Found in: • Hand drill • Car differential • Shaft-driven bicycle • The bevel gear is used to change rotational motion at a 90˚ angle. • Using gears with differing numbers of teeth will change the speed and torque.

  5. Differential Gear • Gears used – Bevel • Axles turn – Same direction • Used in – Vehicles • Purpose – Wheels spin at different speeds when turning Howstuffworks.com/differential

  6. Where Do You Find a Worm and Wheel? Wheel • A worm is used to reduce speed and increase torque. • The motion is not reversible; a gear cannot drive a worm. • Found in: • Tuning mechanism on string instruments • Electric motors • Winch Worm

  7. Where Do You Find a Lead Screw? • Found in • Jack • Vice • Changes rotary movement into linear movement • Significantly increases force • A person can put a little force into turning the handle to move a heavy car.

  8. Where Do You Find a Rack and Pinion? • Found • Used in steering systems of cars to convert rotary motion of steering wheel to the side to side motion in the wheels. • Ice Cream Scoop • Used to convert between rotary and linear motion. • Provides gear reduction to make it easier to turn the wheels. Pinion Pinion Rack Rack

  9. Where Can You Find a Universal Joint? Found • Drive shaft of vehicles • Power take-off • Bicycle Universal joints are used to transmit rotary movement at an angle that is not 90°. www.rqriley.com/imagespln/pattersn_ujoint.jpg

  10. Where Do You Find a Chain and Sprocket? Advantage of Chain and Sprocket over spur gears: Transfer torque and speed over long distances • Found in: • Bicycle • Motorcycle Drive Driven

  11. Where Do You Find a Pulley and Belt? • 9. Found in: • Lawn mower • Car engine BELTS • 10. Belts instead of chains: • Quieter • Less expensive

  12. Where Do You Find a Crank and Slider? Found in: • Steam train • Internal combustion engine Crank Slider

  13. Where Do You Find a Cam and Follower? • Found in: • Cam shaft • As a cam rotates, the flat follower is raised and lowered, converting rotary motion to reciprocating (back and forth) motion. • The cam pictured here would be reversible, as it is symmetrical. FOLLOWER CAM
