Mechanism

The document describes six basic types of mechanisms: 1) Screw mechanism - Rotating a screw spindle moves an attached element longitudinally along the screw. Rotating a nut attached to a stationary screw spindle also moves the screw longitudinally. 2) Crank mechanism - A rotatable crank transmits its motion to a connecting rod and lever. Alternatively, the connecting rod can be attached to a single element. 3) Cam mechanism - A driven cam plate moves a lever or slider in a predetermined path or motion depending on the cam shape. Cams are used to control valves in engines. 4) Gear mechanism - Not described 5) Pulley mechanism - Not described 6) Ratchet mechanism

MECHANISM

Every mechanism consist of individual


SCREW MECHANISM
elements Whose movements in relation
to one another are positive When the screw spindle is rotated,
Six basic types of mechanism are the element attached to the nut will
move in the longitudinal direction of
Screw mechanism the screw.
Crank mechanism
Conversely, if the nut is rotatable
Gear mechanism
and mounted in the frame of the
Pulley mechanism mechanism and driven, the screw
Cam mechanism spindle will move longitudinally
Ratchet mechanism
LINKAGE OR CRANK MECHANISM

The characteristic element is the crank,


which is rotatable, mounted on the
frame and is usually so designed that it
can perform complete revolutions. Its
motion is transmitted through the
coupler or connecting rod to the lever

Alternatively, instead of being


connected to the lever, the coupler
may be attached to a single element.
CAM
MECHANISM
A cam plate mounted
on a frame is driven
and thus moves a lever
or slider which thus
performs a desired
predetermined motion
or path depending on
the shape of the cam
Ex: Valve control in internal
combustion engine
