Mechanisms
Across
- 2. A toothed wheel that works with others to alter the relation between the speed of an engine and the speed of the driven parts.
- 3. Information fed into a system.
- 8. The part of a machine which contains two or more pieces arranged so that the motion of one compels the motion of the others.
- 9. A gear between the driver and the driven gear used to change rotational direction.
- 10. Movement that is back and forth in an arc
- 11. Movement that is back and forth in a straight line
- 12. A mechanical arrangement consisting of a toothed wheel driven by a short revolving cylinder bearing a screw thread.
- 13. A combination of two or more gears used to transmit motion between two rotating shafts or between a shaft and a slide.
- 17. The member of a pair of gears to which motion and power are transmitted by the other. The output gear.
- 20. A push or pull on an object.
- 21. The gear which transmits power and motion to the rest of the system. The input gear.
Down
- 1. A pivot pin near the outside edge of a wheel or disk that changes reciprocating motion into rotary motion.
- 4. A twisting force.
- 5. A pear-shaped disk with an off-center pivot point, used to change rotating motion into reciprocating motion.
- 6. A rotating gear that meshes with a bar that has gear teeth along its length. Changes rotating motion into linear motion.
- 7. Movement that is straight in one direction.
- 14. ratios The ratio of the speed of the driving member of a gear train to that of the driven member.
- 15. motion Circular movement.
- 16. Opposite in position, direction, order or effect.
- 18. Movement that is around in a circle
- 19. A threaded shaft used to convert rotary movement to linear movement.
