Rotary Motion

A Pulley Mechanism uses rotary motion to transmit rotary motion between two parallel shafts.

Mechanisms using Rotary Motion

Pulley mechanisms can be used to increase or decrease rotary velocity

Velocity Ratio Velocity Ratio =

Distance moved by Effort

Distance moved by Load

Velocity Ratio =

Distance moved by the driver pulley

Distance moved by the driven pulley

Velocity Ratio = Diameter of Driven Pulley

Diameter of Driver Pulley

Velocity Ratio

Pulley Shaft Rotary Velocities can be calculated using the following formula

rotary velocity of driven pulley x diameter of driven pulley =

rotary velocity of driver pulley x diameter of driver pulley

rotary velocity of driven

pulley =

rotary velocity of driver pulley

x diameter of driver pulley

diameter of driven pulley

What is the rotary velocity of the driven pulley shaft?

rotary velocity of driven

pulley =

rotary velocity of driver pulley

x diameter of driver pulley

diameter of driven pulley

= 450 x 3090

revs/min

= 150 revs/min

Gears are not only used to transmit motion.

They are also used to transmit force.

Effort required to pull trolley up slope

F = effort E

F = 1000 x sin

F = 1000 x 0.01

F = 10N

E = 10N

sin = 1/100 = 0.01

M.A. = 1000/10

= 100

Newton’s Laws

• First Law– A body continues in its state of rest or uniform

motion in a straight line unless compelled by some external forces to change that state.

(sometimes know as the law of inertia)

Newton’s Laws

• Second Law– Rate of change of momentum is proportional to

the applied force and takes place in the direction in which the force acts.

(Continued force means continued acceleration)

Newton’s Laws

• Third Law– To every action there is an equal and opposite

reaction
