100
Mechanical function of relaying a motion from one part to another without altering the nature of the motion.
What is motion transmission?
100
Mechanical function performed by any component that controls the motion of one or more morving parts.
What is guiding?
100
Mechanical function of relaying a motion from one part to another while altering the nature of the motion.
What is motion transformation?
100
The mechanical function performed by any component that connects different parts of a technical object.
What is linking?
200
The component that receives the motion and transfers it to another part.
What is the driven component?
200
Type of guiding that insures the translational motion of a moving part while it rotates about the same axis.
What is helical guiding?
200
The two systems that are reversible.
What is rack and pinion and slider-crank mechanism?
300
The only motion transmission system that is not reversible.
What is the worm and worm gear system?
300
The two ways to reduce friction.
What is lubrication and polishing?
300
The rotational axis of the cam is not centered.
What is eccentrics?
400
The two motion transmission systems that require frequent lubrication.
What are gear trains and chain and sprocket systems?
400
The rougher a surface, the better its adhesion to another surface.
What is the state of the surfaces?
400
It keeps the cam and the follower in continuous contact.
What is the role of a spring in cam and follower systems?
500
When motion is transmitted from a smaller diameter/less teeth to a larger diameter/more teeth.
What would cause a decrease in speed in a system?
500
Adhesion increases, as this force increases.
What is the perpendicular force?
500
This type of system is used in pipe wrenches.
