In workshops and industries, different types of machines are being used to give the required output. By the movement of two mating parts of a machine, friction is produced due to which, some amount of heat is generated and it also affects the efficiency of the machine. So, a process called lubrication comes into action … Read more
Springs devices are compressible and expandable up to a certain limit and store mechanical energy because of their elasticity. In a vehicle suspension, when the wheel meets an obstacle, the springing allows movement of the wheel over the obstacle and thereafter returns the wheel to its normal position, all of these are done by the … Read more
All types of machines require power to reach working conditions and the elements, which are used to transfer these powers are known as elements of power transmission. These elements are also useful in transferring the rotatory motion generated by the machine (prime mover) to the different parts of a machine. In the workshops and industries, … Read more
