Understanding Mechanisms: Types and Applications

Classified in Technology

Written on in English with a size of 3.83 KB

Mechanisms

Mechanisms are devices that transform movement. They can change the speed, direction, force, or type of movement.

Belts and Pulleys

A belt passes around two pulley wheels. If the driver wheel moves, it moves the belt, and the belt moves the driven wheel.

A pulley is a wheel that turns when a rope, belt, or chain passes through it.

Levers

The lever is a basic mechanism. It's typically made of a bar of wood or metal that pivots around a fixed point called a fulcrum.

  • First-type lever Examples: Scissors, pliers, bottle opener, seesaw.
  • Second-type lever Examples: Wheelbarrow, paint chippers, nutcrackers.
  • Third-type lever Examples: Catapult, baseball bat, human arm.

Effort x Effort arm = Load x Load arm

Rock wool• Glass wool

Divided according to material density to: – very light products (density < 50 kg/m3); – light (density from 50 kg/m3 to 200 kg/m3 ); – heavy (density From 200 kg/m3 to 400 kg/m3 ).

According to compressibility (material affected by 2 kPa load) into: – Soft (compresses more than 30 %); – half rigid (compresses from 6 to 30 %); – Rigid (compresses not more than 6 %).

according to usage for constructions into: – general purpose: • not Withstanding loads (light carcass type) • Withstanding loads (molded concrete Floors) in constructions – outer walls; – flat roofs.

Raw material type is chosen depending on resistance to temperature (basalt wool from 1000ºC, dolomite wool 650ºC, glass 550ºC), fiber... Continue reading "Air law" »

Mechanisms

A mechanism is a group of elements that transmit and transform forces and movements from a motive (or driver) element to a receptor (or driven) element. Mechanisms allow us to perform operations more easily and with less effort.

Classification of Mechanisms

  • Movement Transmission Mechanisms
    • Linear Transmission (e.g., pulleys, levers)
    • Circular Transmission (e.g., friction wheels, pulleys and belts, gears, chain drives)
  • Movement Transformation Mechanisms (e.g., rack and pinion, handle-winch, crank-connecting rod, cam and eccentric)

Lever

A lever is a rigid bar that pivots around a fixed point called a fulcrum. It is used to amplify force, allowing a larger force to be overcome with a smaller effort. However, to achieve this force multiplication,... Continue reading "Mechanisms: Levers, Pulleys, Gears, and More" »

Protecting Your Digital Identity

Person’s digital identity: Is all information that you can find about a person on the internet, written by itself or other people. It is important because if you are looking for a job, everyone can see it and you have to be aware.

Best Way to Back Up Your Information

Best way to do a backup of your information: First and foremost, you need to back up your personal files. You can always reinstall your operating system and redownload your programs if your hard drive fails, but your own personal data is irreplaceable. Any personal documents, photos, home videos, and any other data on your computer should be backed up regularly. Those can never be replaced. Your operating system, programs, and other settings can...

Arduino Libraries: Extending Functionality

The Arduino environment, much like most programming platforms, can be significantly extended through the use of libraries. These libraries provide additional functionality, making it easier to implement complex features and interact with various hardware components in your sketches.

Arduino Servo Library Capabilities

The Servo library is essential for controlling servo motors. It supports up to 12 motors on most Arduino boards and an impressive 48 motors on the Arduino Mega. It's important to note that on boards other than the Mega, using the Servo library disables analogWrite() (PWM) functionality on pins 9 and 10, regardless of whether a servo is connected to those specific pins. On the Arduino Mega,... Continue reading "Arduino Library Essentials: Servo, Bluetooth, SoftwareSerial" »
