Mechanical Function Motion Transformation Systems

Question 1

Motion transformation

Answer 1

The mechanical function of relaying motion from one part to another well altering the nature of the motion

Question 2

types of motion, transformation systems

Answer 2

1) rack and pinion
2) screw gear type one
3) screw gear type two
4) cam and follower
5) slider crank mechanism

Question 3

Rack and pinion

Answer 3

• Rotational to translational movement
• Reversible
• Teeth must be same shape, same size (identical)
• Frequent lubrication prevent wear and tear

Question 4

Screw gear type one

Answer 4

• car jack
• Rotational to translational
  -Nonreversible
• Crank rotates
• Jack translates
• Threads of the screw must mesh with the nut
• The nut must be connected so it cannot rotate

Question 5

screw gear type two

Answer 5

-Example wrench
- Nonreversible
- Translational to rotational
- threads of the screw + nut must mesh
-The nut is fixed so that it can only rotate

Question 6

Cameron follower

Answer 6

• example, sewing machine needle
  -Nonreversible
  -Rotation to translation
• cam rotates follower translates
  -shape of the cam determines the motion(how the follower moves)
  -May or may not contain a spring

Question 7

Slider crank

Answer 7

-example train
-Rotation to translation
-Reversible
- Internal combustion engine, frequent lubrication
