1. Mechanisms are that transmit and convert forces and from a driving force or to an output.
2. All mechanisms systems contain a component called a , this is the component that the motion and a component called the follower or that is the part that receives that motion and get it into something else.
3. motion mechanisms transmit motion and effort in a way, from the input to the output.
4. drives are made up of two or more that are in contact. The first wheel is called the primary drive wheel. When it moves, it turns or the second or output wheel, causing it to move as well.
5. are sets of wheels that have teeth called .
6.The main function of a slider-crank is to transform motion into translational or motion. It contains a connecting rod and a .
7. Rack and pinion system has a , which is a rod with teeths and a pinion, which is a . The teeth of the components must match together, that is said "" or it will not function as a system.
8. A cam is an shaped disk, it is not a perfect circle and the follower is a rod. The cam turns motion into the back-and-forth movement of the , that is motion.
9. The screw gear or system it is formed by a bolt or bar and a nut that has the interior diameter of the bolt.
10. An cam consists of a wheel with an off-centre rotation that does not coincide with the of its circumference.
