Applications Of Kinematics Of Machines

• Kinematics of machines deals with various types of kinematic pair, kinetic link, kinematic chain and kinematic mechanism.
• Concerns about inversion of four bar mechanism, which forms the basis for plane kinematic linkages. Four bar mechanism is ideal mechanical device and it controls the motion.
• Kinematics of machines helps in finding friction coefficient in-between pulley and belt. Belts are used to transmit power from one mechanical device to other. Belts are also considered as flexible type of connectors.
• Kinematics of machines helps in easy plotting of displacement, acceleration and velocity of slider for single slider crankshaft. Slider displacement shall be analyzed at equivalent distance of crank angle rotation.
• Kinematics of machines helps in easy analysis of cam and follower. Cam helps in direct contact of mechanical device by adjusting the motion of device. Cams can be seen in most of the automatic machines, in internal combustion engines of automobiles, in machinery tools and printing control mechanisms.
• Kinematic of machines deals with various types of gear. Gear helps in easy transmission of power from one such shaft to other shaft or slide by engaging teeth. Bevel gears are utilized in automobiles, pinion and spur rack are utilized in lathe, helical gears are utilized in heavy vehicle loading and different machinery.
• Kinematic of machines deals with different types of gear trains. Reverted gear train are utilized in lathe and clock, epicyclic gear are utilized in computing devices and transmission device.
• Kinematic of machines deals with different types of steering mechanism.
• Kinematic of machines concerns with Computer Aided Design linkage mechanism types and also relates effect and simulation studies.
• Kinematic of machines helps in understanding of screw jack working. It also helps in easy calculation of efficiency.
