Mechanical Engineering

What is linking? - correct answers Mechanical function performed by any component that connects different parts of a technical object What are the four types of characteristics of links? - correct answers 1. Direct or Indirect 2. Rigid or Flexible 3. Removable or Non-removable 4. Complete or Partial What is a direct link? - correct answers When two parts are held together without a linking component (so like without glue or any screws) What is a indirect link? - correct answers When two parts require a linking component to hold them together What does it mean when a link is rigid? - correct answers When the linking components or the surfaces of the linked parts are rigid What does it mean when a link is flexible? - correct answers When the linking component or the surfaces of the linking parts can be deformed. Springs and rubber are often used as flexible links. What does it mean when a link is removable? - correct answers When the linked parts can be separated without damaging either of their surfaces or the linking component. Nuts and screws are good examples. What does it mean when a link is non- removable? - correct answers When the linked parts cannot be separated without damaging either of their surfaces or the linking component. What does it mean when a link is complete? - correct answers A link is complete when it prevents the linked parts from moving independently of one another What does it mean when a link is partial? - correct answers When at least one part can move independently of the other parts What is guiding? - correct answers The mechanical function performed by any component that controls the motion of one or more moving parts. What is a guiding component? - correct answers A component whose mechanical function is to guide the motion of moving parts. What is translational guiding? - correct answers Ensures the straight translational motion of moving part What is rotational guiding? - correct answers Ensures the rotational motion of moving part What is helical guiding? - correct answers Ensures the translational motion of a moving part while it rotates about the same axis KNOW ALL THE SYMBOLS FOR THE GUIDING: HELICAL, ROTATIONAL AND TRANSLATIONAL - correct answers What is motion transmission? - correct answers Relaying motion from one part to another without modifying the nature of the motion What is a motion transmission system? - correct answers A set of components that perform the function of transmitting motion What are the three types of components in a mechanical system? - correct answers 1. Driver component 2. Driven component 3. Intermediate component What is the driver component? - correct answers Component that receives the force required to activate the system
