  • MASS MOMENT OF INERTIA OF FLYWHEEL

    The function of the flywheel is to store excess energy during power stroke and it supplies energy during other stroke. Thereby, it reduces fluctuation in the speed within the cycle. Let ω1 be the maximum angular speed and ω2 be the minimum angular speed. I be the mass moment of inertia of the flywheel neglecting mass moment of inertia of…

  • INTRODUCTION TO FLYWHEEL

    Flywheel is an internal energy storage device. It absorbs mechanical energy during the period when the supply of energy is more than the requirement and releases it during the period when the requirement of energy is more than the supply. The main function of a fly wheel is to smoothen out variations in the speed…

  • COMPOUND SCREW JACK

    When worm and worm wheel are used in simple screw jack as shown in Figure 13.15, it is known as compound screw jack. The worm axle is provided with a handle of length L. Let, the pitch of the screw rod be p, number of teeth on the worm wheel be T, the number of revolution of worm wheel, and…

  • SIMPLE SCREW JACK

    Figure 13.13 shows a simple screw jack that consists of a nut and a screw fitted into it. The load W to be lifted is placed on the head of the screw. The load W can be raised or lowered by rotating the screw by a handle attached to its head. Figure 13.13 (a) Screw Jack, (b) Screw, and (c) Development…

  • DOUBLE PURCHASE WINCH CRAB

    Figure 13.12 shows the schematic diagram of double purchase winch crab. In this device, velocity ratio is increased by using two pairs of gears. There are three axles as effort axle, intermediate, and load axle, two pinion gears as P1 and P2, two spur gears as S1 and S2. Pinion P1 mounted on effort axle, pinion P2 and spur gear S1 are mounted on the intermediate axle while…

  • SINGLE PURCHASE WINCH CRAB

    Figure 13.11 shows the schematic diagram of single purchase winch crab. There are two axles: effort axle and load axle. On the effort axle, a small toothed wheel of small diameter known as pinion is mounted. The pinion is a driving gear and is meshed with a large gear known as spur gear. Spur gear is…

  • WORM AND WORM WHEEL

    Figure 13.10 shows a worm and worm wheel arrangement. It consists of a threaded screw B called worm and a toothed wheel C called worm wheel. The worm B is in mesh with worm wheel C and their axes are perpendicular to each other. Figure 13.10 Worm and Worm Wheel On the axis of worm B, an…

  • Weston’s Differential Pulley Block

    Figure 13.9 shows Weston’s differential pulley block arrangement consisting of two blocks A and B. Upper block A is provided with two pulleys 1 and 2, having differential diameters. Both pulleys behave as one pulley. Lower block B carries a movable to which load W is attached. One string passes over all the pulleys. The effort is applied…

  • Order of Pulley

    First Order Pulley: VR = 2n where n is number of movable pulleys, only one pulley is fixed. Second Order Pulley: Three fixed and three movable pulleys are in the system. Single string passes over all the pulleys. VR = n where n is total number of pulleys. Third Order Pulley: One pulley is fixed; one end of each string is connected to load. VR…

  • PULLEYS

    Figure 13.7 shows a single fixed pulley arrangement which consists of a wheel with a groove around its circumference to receive a rope or chain. It is mounted on an axle about which it can rotate freely. The ends of the axle are supported by a frame called block. Block may be fixed or movable, if…
