Gear terminology with defination
Gears are widely used in many applications and industries in machines. The primary function of gear is ti transmit power from one place to another place, To transmit power and get maximum work at the minimum input, gears are designed accordingly. Here are some basic definitions used in gear terminology. Gear Terminology Pitch circle […]
Classification of bearings
A bearing is the basic element of any rotating mechanism. You can observe bearing is any simple mechanism, for example, the fan at your home, the mixture in your kitchen, your bicycle contain bearing inside it. There are various types of the bearings as per their application. Here is the basic classification of bearings which are […]
Classification of kinematic pairs with examples
Kinematic pairs can be classified on basis of their nature of contact, constraints, and nature of relative motion between the elements in contact. Here is the detailed classification of kinematic pairs with the relevant example. We can easily understand kinematic pairs once we understand the concept of degree of freedom. Classification of kinematic pairs According to […]
What is degree of freedom in mechanics?
When a link is connected to one or more other links, it imposes a restriction on the relative motion of the combined link or mechanism. This number of restrictions may vary according to the type of link and connection they made with each other. Basically, there are 3 transitional and 3 rotational motions are considered. […]
Cam and follower mechanism types and functions
A cam is a mechanical member which impart desired motion to the follower by direct contact. Cam may be rotating or reciprocating while a follower may be rotating, reciprocating and oscillating. A cam-follower forms higher pair as they have point contact at the junction. From now we will term cam and follower mechanism as cam […]

Types of constrains in mechanism or machines
Constrain means restriction. In mechanics, we got many redundant motions which need to restricted to save energy and work. We need to focus only on desired motion to get output from that mechanism. Sometimes these constrains are needed to be applied externally to restrict these additional redundant motions. Types of constrains in mechanism or machines […]
