Solved problems based on CAM Profiles Cam is a very important topic in the kinematics of machines or theory of machines. Here we are presenting some solved problems based on cam profiles. Although we checked the errors, but if you … Continued
Intermittent motion mechanisms An intermittent-motion mechanism is a linkage which converts continuous motion into intermittent motion. These mechanisms are commonly used for indexing in machine tools. Geneva wheel mechanism Fig.1: Geneva wheel mechanism In the mechanism shown (Fig.1), link … Continued
STEERING MECHANISMS Hooke’s joint (Universal joints) Hooke’s joins is used to connect two nonparallel but intersecting shafts. In its basic shape, it has two U –shaped yokes ‘a’ and ‘b’ and a center block or cross-shaped piece, C. (fig.1.47(a)) The … Continued
STRAIGHT LINE MECHANISMS Straight line motion mechanisms Straight line motion mechanisms are mechanisms, having a point that moves along a straight line, or nearly along a straight line, without being guided by a plane surface. Condition for exact straight line … Continued
