In running mechanical system different kinds of fluctuation and variation occurs due to various factors. These kinds of disturbances should be avoided for the accurate performance of mechanical system. The speed of the running parts varies according to loads and power input, so to make the system stable under various fluctuations we require some devices …
Cam and follower is a type of assembly, both works together in any machine element. It is the example of higher pair due to the line contact between them. Some complicated motions are easily achieved by using cams and followers which are difficult to achieve. Cam is a mechanical element which is used to deliver …
Degree of freedom is defined as the minimum number of independent variables required to define the position or motion of a system is known as degree of freedom. It is the property of kinematic chain which shows that in how many directions the connected links of the kinematic can move freely. It is also known …

A gear train is combination of two or more gears which are mesh together and used to transmit motion/power from one shaft to another. The gear trains are mostly used in high speed reduction where area is constraint like in watches. A gear train is combination of spur gear, bevel gears and helical gears etc …

Brake is a mechanical device which is used to absorb the energy from a moving system by means of friction. The main purpose of brake is to slow down or completely stop the motion of the moving system like wheels of automobiles, rotating drum and any kind of machinery. We can say that brakes are …
Today we will learn about gyroscope and it’s basic concept. The Gyroscope is not a particular device. It is an effect that we get to see in mechanical devices that we call gyroscopic effect. All the mechanical devices in which we get to see this gyroscopic effect are called gyroscopes. It is that mechanical device …
Today we will learn about types of springs used in mechanical for various purposes. Spring is an elastic machine element that can deflect under the application of load and when the load is removed, it regains its original position. In other words, spring is a mechanical object made up of material having very high yield …
Governor is a type of mechanical device which is generallyused to determine and regulate the speed of the engine to the desired level. It is a particular feedback system used where is the need to control variation of load present in the system. The main purpose of the governor is to control the flow of …

Today we will learn about cam terminology and its displacement diagram. A cam is a mechanical member used to impart desired motion or displacement to a follower by direct contact. It is widely used in automobile industries to direct opening and closing of inlet and exhaust valves at desire time. Cams are either in rotary …
Today we will learn about what is bearing and types of bearings. Bearing is a machine element that have constrained relative motion and use for reduces friction between moving parts of machine to obtain desired motion. We can say that the machine elements which support the rotating parts of a machine and reduce friction are …
