Springs are a very commonly used component in products where motion is involved. Springs are used to store mechanical energy and release it when required. In our daily life we use lot of products with springs. Springs are used in analog watches, bicycles, ...
Free body diagram (FBD) is a graphical representation of the external forces acting on a body. It helps in solving static and dynamic problems in mechanical engineering. For example, if you want to calculate the force required to push a car on hilly road, ...
Degree of Freedom is defined as the minimum number of independent variables required to define the position of a rigid body in space. In other words DOF defines the number of directions a body can move. Degree of freedom concept is used in kinematics to c ...
Gear ratio is the ratio of output and input number of teeth on a shaft. Gear train consist of gears in series. They are used to increase or decrease the speed or torque of the output shaft. In this article we will discuss how to calculate gear ratio, spee ...
Gears are mechanisms used to transfer motion from one shaft to another. From automobiles to machinery. Gears are used to transfer motion from one shaft to another. Different types of gears have different applications. For Example, spur gears are used to t ...
Gears are used to transfer power from shaft to another shaft at the same or different speeds. In this article we will discuss gear terminology or basic terms used in gears and gear calculations. We need to understand these terms before working on gears. W ...
