Science Motion transmission and motion motion transformation | Sec 3

Driver Component

The root of the system power. This is the component that receives force from the user

Driven Component

The components of a system that receive the motion created by the drive

Reversibility

 A system is reversible if the driver component can become the driven component and the driven component can become the driver

component without breaking the technical object.

Translation

Translational motion occurs when an object moves from one position to another without rotating, this is called Linear motion.

Rotation

Rotational motion happens when an object spins around. Every part of the object moves in a circular path.

Chain

Belt and pulley

Gears

Friction wheels

Worm and worm gear

Rod and crank

Cam and follower

Rank and pinion

Screw and nut

Fixed link

There is no movement between linked parts

Rotating link

The guided part can undergo rotational motion around one axis

Sliding link

The guided part can undergo translational motion on one axis

Sliding rotating link

The guided part can undergo rotational and translational motion on the same axis

Spherical link

The guided part can undergo rotational motion in many direction

Helical link

The guided part can undergo helical motion

Rigid link

It exists when the surfaces of the linked parts or the linking components are rigid

Flexible link

It exists when the surface of the linked parts or linking components can be deformed

Removable link

It exists when linked parts can be separated without damaging them

Non-removable link

It exists when separating the linked parts damages them or the linking component

Complete link

When there is no movement between linked parts

Partial link

There is this link when at least one part is capable of motion with respect to the other

Rotational guide

It only allows the rotational motion of moving parts
