As we all know, to perform a particular operation in any machine we need to use some attachments, mandrels and rests are one of them. The Mandrels and Rests both are generally used in Lathe machines to perform operations on cylindrical jobs. Mandrels are used for hollow cylindrical jobs, where rests are used for solid […]
A lathe machine is a machine tool which is used to remove metals from a work-piece to give a desired shape and size.
Capstan and Turret Lathe: A capstan and turret lathe is a production lathe. It is used to manufacture any number of identical pieces in the minimum time. These lathes were first developed in the United States of America by Pratt and Whitney in 1960. Capstan lathe is one of the types of semi-automatic lathe. In […]
Metrology is a significant department of Mechanical engineering that deals with the measurement of a workpiece. Metrology is oftentimes called the science of measurement that depends upon two significant factors. The factors are time and quantity, which has to be measured by an engineer in order to ensure the precision of a workpiece. Every material […]
In mechanical engineering, engineers often use a higher pair links mechanism that is renowned as Cam and Follower Mechanism. This pair of higher links are used to move links spontaneously or periodically. Although, cam and follower mechanisms are also used by engineers for ensuring zero or minimum degree of error. The device that is known […]
The Dial Indicator is a mechanical device that consists of pinions, gears or levers. By the means of a dial indicator precision of a workpiece can be measured by an engineer. Although it is working as a comparator also (Baxterand Meijer, 2017). Construction of a Dial Indicator: Construction of a Dial indicator changes regarding their […]
When sometimes two or more gears are made to mess with each other to transmit power from one shaft to another such combination is called gear trains. Types of Gear trains: We have generally 4-types of gear trains, and those are: Simple Gear Train Compound Gear Trains Reverted gear Trains Epicyclic Gear Trains So let's […]
