Transcript of Basic machines
• The word "machine" is derived from the latin word “machina”
• The meaning is that of a device having parts that perform or assist in
performing any type of work
• A rigid object that is used with an appropriate fulcrum or pivot point
to multiply the mechanical force (effort) that can be applied to
another object or resistance force (load)
LEVER
• The force applied (at end points of the lever) is proportional to the ratio of
the length of the lever arm measured between the fulcrum (pivoting point)
and application point of the force applied at each end of the lever.
• Mathematically, this is expressed by M = Fd, where F is the force, d is the
perpendicular distance between the force and the fulcrum, and M is the
turning force known as the moment or torque
• Archimedes. "Give me a place to stand, and I shall move the earth with a
lever”
LEVER PRINCIPAL
LEVER TYPES
Class 1: The fulcrum is located between the applied force
and the load, for example, a crowbar or a pair of scissors
or a seesaw.
LEVER TYPES
Class 2: The load is situated between the fulcrum and the
force, for example, a wheelbarrow or a nutcracker
LEVER TYPES
Class 3: The force is applied between the fulcrum and the
load, for example, a pair of tweezers or the
human mandible
• A gear or more correctly a "gear wheel" is a rotating machine part
having cut teeth, or cogs, which mesh with another toothed part in
order to transmit torque
GEAR
• When two gears of unequal number of teeth are combined a
mechanical advantage is produced, with both the rotational speeds
and the torques of the two gears differing in a simple relationship .
• gear ratio (gr) = (number of teeth on output or driven gear)/(number
of teeth on input or driver gear
GEAR PRINCIPAL
• A drive shaft, driveshaft, driving shaft, propeller shaft, or Cardan
shaft is a mechanical component for transmitting torque and
rotation .
• Usually used to connect other components of a drive train that
cannot be connected directly because of distance or the need to
allow for relative movement between them.
SHAFT
• Drive shafts are carriers of torque .
• They must therefore be strong enough to bear the stress, whilst
avoiding too much additional weight as that would in turn increase
their inertia.
SHAFT PRINCIPAL
• A wedge is a simple machine shaped like an inclined plane.
• A wedge is an inclined plane that can either split, cut, tighten, or
hold items together
WEDGE
• An easy way to see how a wedge works is to think of it as an
inclined plane standing on its narrow end. A fairly weak force,
applied to the wide end of a wedge whose narrow end is being
pushed into something, will send a strong force pushing out at the
sides .
