Bearings are mechanical components to support shafts in various load conditions and reduce friction between moving parts. Different types of bearing have a different construction, application, advantages, and limitations. Major components of a Ball R ...
What is Mechanical Coupling? A mechanical coupling connects the driver and driven shafts and transfers torque between them. Coupling is a very important element in connecting two shafts because it reduces the impact of misalignment between shafts. Fo ...
What is Gear Reduction? Gear Reduction or Reduction drives reduce the speed and increase torque at the output shaft. In Reduction Drive, the number of teeth on the input shaft is less than the teeth on the output shaft. ...
Either timing belts or timing chains are used to synchronize the rotation of the camshaft and crankshaft in internal combustion engines. As a vehicle owner, you don't have any choice to select between a timing belt or a timing chain. Because any one of th ...
Various types of Belt drives are used to transfer power from one shaft to another. Each belt type has its advantages and limitations. Timing belts are one of the widely used drives to transfer synchronous motion. In this article, we will discuss what is a ...
Belt drives transfer rotational motion from one shaft to another. In this, both shafts may rotate at the same or variable speed. In this article, we will discuss what is belt drive? it's types, advantages, and disadvantages of belt drive. Click this link ...
What are Springs? Springs are mechanical components that store mechanical energy and release it when required. They are capable of withstanding large elastic deformation. Springs change their shape when force is applied and regains their original posi ...
What is Free Body Diagram ? A Free body diagram or FBD is a graphical representation of the relative magnitude and direction of all the forces acting on a body in given conditions.FBD calculates forces acting on a body in moving and stationary conditi ...
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. The degree of freedom concept is used in kinematics ...
A Gear train consists of two or more gears in series. Its application is to increase or decrease the speed or torque of the output shaft. We use Gear Ratio to calculate the speed and torque of the output gear or shaft when the input shaft or gea ...
