Automation & Robotics Mechanisms
In the simple gear train speed is - (correct Answer) - constant
In the simple gear train torque is - (correct Answer) - constant
Purpose of an idler gear - (correct Answer) - Make the drive and driven go in the same direction
Purpose of a bevel gear - (correct Answer) - change rotational motion at 90 degree angle
Gear ratio in a worm and wheel - (correct Answer) - 24:1 which is very slow with a lot of torque
Type of input movement in a leadscrew - (correct Answer) - Rotary
Type of output movement in a leadscrew - (correct Answer) - Linear
What is increased in the output of a leadscrew - (correct Answer) - Force
Type of input movement in a rack and pinion - (correct Answer) - Rotary
Type of output movement in a rack and pinion - (correct Answer) - Linear
What is produced in the output of rack and pinion - (correct Answer) - Force
Advantage of using a chain drive - (correct Answer) - Transfers torque and speed over long distances
What happens if the belt is crossed in a belt drive - (correct Answer) - They turn in opposite directions
Advantage of using a belt drive - (correct Answer) - Quieter and less expensive
Input movement of a crank and slider - (correct Answer) - Rotary
Output movement of a crank and slider - (correct Answer) - Reciprocating
Input movement of cam and follower - (correct Answer) - Rotary
Output movement of cam and follower - (correct Answer) - Reciprocating
Automation - (correct Answer) - The use of technology to ease human labor or to extend the mental or
physical capabilities of humans.
End effector - (correct Answer) - The component of a robot that comes into contact with the work piece
and does the actual work on it. Also known as the hand
Robotics - (correct Answer) - Technology dealing with the design, construction, and operation of robots
in automation.
Work envelope - (correct Answer) - The space within which a robotic arm can move.
