  2. Mechanical engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_engineering

    Various machine components used in mechanical engineering. Mechanical engineering is the study of physical machines that may involve force and movement. It is an engineering branch that combines engineering physics and mathematics principles with materials science, to design, analyze, manufacture, and maintain mechanical systems. [1]

    Mechanical engineering is the application of physical principles to the creation of useful devices, objects and machines. Subcategories. This category has the ...

  4. Simple machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_machine

    The ratio of the output to the applied force is called the mechanical advantage. Simple machines can be regarded as the elementary "building blocks" of which all more complicated machines (sometimes called "compound machines" [6] [7]) are composed. [2] [8] For example, wheels, levers, and pulleys are all used in the mechanism of a bicycle.

  5. Mechanical advantage device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_advantage_device

    Examples of rope and pulley systems illustrating mechanical advantage. Consider lifting a weight with rope and pulleys. A rope looped through a pulley attached to a fixed spot, e.g. a barn roof rafter, and attached to the weight is called a single pulley. It has a mechanical advantage (MA) = 1 (assuming frictionless bearings in the pulley ...

  6. Screw mechanism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screw_mechanism

    The lead determines the mechanical advantage of the screw; the smaller the lead, the higher the mechanical advantage. [20] The pitch is defined as the axial distance between the crests of adjacent threads. In most screws, called "single start" screws, which have a single helical thread wrapped around them, the lead and pitch are equal.

  7. Machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine

    Simple machines are elementary examples of kinematic chains or linkages that are used to model mechanical systems ranging from the steam engine to robot manipulators. The bearings that form the fulcrum of a lever and that allow the wheel and axle and pulleys to rotate are examples of a kinematic pair called a hinged joint.

  8. Scissors mechanism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scissors_mechanism

    An example of a simple scissor lift A pantograph mirror. A scissors mechanism uses linked, folding supports in a criss-cross 'X' pattern. [1]The scissor mechanism is a mechanical linkage system used to create vertical motion or extension.

  9. Cam (mechanism) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cam_(mechanism)

    A common example is the traditional sash window lock, where the cam is mounted to the top of the lower sash, and the follower is the hook on the upper sash. In this application, the cam is used to provide a mechanical advantage in forcing the window shut, and also provides a self-locking action, like some worm gears, due to friction.
