What is a Mechanism?A mechanism is the part of a machine which contains two or more pieces arranged so that the motion of one compels the motion of the others.
Generally used to:• Change the direction of movement
• Change the type of movement
• Change the speed of movement
• Change the amount of torque or force available to do work

Mechanisms - Change Direction
• Meshed gears in a gear train always turn in opposite directions…..PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE INPUT AND OUTPUT!!!
The “driver” is always the input or where the force/energy starts
The “follower” is also referred to as the “output” or the “driven”. This is where the energy is transferred to

The flow of power is reversible only if you can make the input shaft turn by turning the output shaft
Mechanisms - Change Direction….continued
The Input power is reversible only if the input can be turned in both directions….. Clockwise or counterclockwise.

Mechanisms - Change MovementRotary Linear
Reciprocating Oscillating
Around in a circle
Back and forth in an arc
Straight in one directionBack and forth in a straight line

Mechanisms - Change Speed
• Gear ratios compare the output (or driven gear) to the input (or drive gear)
• Gear Ratios can be determined using number (n) of teeth on the gear or diameter (d) of the gear
• If the output gear is larger than the
input gear the speed will decrease
• If the output gear is smaller than the
input gear the speed will increase.

Mechanisms –Change Force or Torque
A force is a push or pull in a straight line.
Torque is a push or pull in a circular direction.

12. Cam and Follower
A cam is a shaped piece of metal or plastic fixed to a rotating shaft. A cammechanism has three parts: cam, slide and follower. The cam shaft rotates continually, turning the cam. The follower is a rod that rests on the edge of the turning cam.
