Mechanical Machines Documentation
Comprehensive guide to understanding mechanical machines, their applications, and technical specifications.
Simple Machines
Simple machines are the basic building blocks of more complex machines. They include levers, inclined planes, wheels and axles, and more.
Lever Example
A lever is used to lift a heavy load. The fulcrum is positioned to maximize the mechanical advantage.
Complex Machines
Complex machines are composed of multiple simple machines. Examples include gears, engines, and robotics.
Gearbox Example
A gearbox uses gears to change the speed and torque of a rotating shaft.
Technical Specifications
| Machine | Specification | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Lever | Mechanical Advantage | 2:1 |
| Gearbox | Gear Ratio | 3:1 |
Machine Descriptions
Levers
A lever is a simple machine that consists of a rigid bar that pivots around a fixed point, used to lift or move heavy loads.
Gears
Gears are toothed wheels that transmit rotational motion from one shaft to another, often used to change the speed or direction of the rotation.
