Mechanical Function Motion Transmission Systems

Question 1

Motion transmission system

Answer 1

A set of components that perform the function of transmitting motion, example rotation, to rotation

Question 2

Driver

Answer 2

The component that receives the function that activates the system

Question 3

driven

Answer 3

The component that receives the motion from the driver

Question 4

Intermediate component

Answer 4

The component located between the driver, and the driven not all systems contain one

Question 5

Reversibility

Answer 5

A system is reversible when the driven can become the driver and vice versa

Question 6

Gear rotation formula

Answer 6

gr=DR/DV= #DRteeth/#DVteeth

Question 7

Gear train

Answer 7

• gears rotate opposite of each other
  -reversible
  -identical
• teeth must mesh perfectly
• closely position
• same size + shape

Question 8

Chain and sprocket

Answer 8

-gears inside sprocket rotate in same direction
-reversible
-2 or more gears and sprocket
-Gears match with chain
-Distant parts
-Teeth must be identical, same size same shape

Question 9

Worm and worm gear

Answer 9

• Gears rotate varies with the angle of the threads
  -nonreversible
  -groove of the worm must mesh with the worm gear
  -Slows down the system a lot

Question 10

Friction gear system

Answer 10

• Gears rotate opposite of each other
• reversible
• gears are toothless
  -A ton of friction between gears
  -More expensive(economical)
  -Inefficient compared to gears

Question 11

belt and pulley

Answer 11

• inside belt, gears rotate the same direction
• reversible
• toothless gears with grooves
  -smooth groove to not damage belt
• distant parts
  -The belt must adhere to the groove
  -The smaller, the pulley the faster
