Linking in technical objects
Mechanical Engineering is…
• A branch of engineering that focuses on the design, production, analysis, working and improvement of technical objects with moving parts
A link allows…
• Two or more parts of a technical object to be held together
In mechanics, a component is…
• a part or fluid that performs a mechanical function
Linking is…
• The mechanical function performed by any component that connects different parts of a technical object
The degrees of freedom are…
• The set of independent movements that are possible for a given part in a technical object
Possibilities of Independent Motion

Characteristics of links
p. 218
1st Characteristic pair
• Direct
• Indirect
Direct
• A direct link exists when two parts can hold together without requiring a linking component
Cell Phone > Case
Indirect
• An indirect link exists when the parts require a linking component to hold them together
Arm > Frame ?
2nd Characteristic pair
• Rigid
• Flexible
Rigid
• A rigid link exists when the surfaces of the linked parts or the linking component are rigid
Base > monitor
Flexible
• A flexible link exists when the surface of the linked parts or the linking component can be deformed
Pages > spine
3rd Characteristic pair
• Removable • Non-removable
Removable
• A removable link exists when linked parts can be separated without damaging them
Laces > eyelets
Non-removable
• A non-removable link exists when separating the linked parts damages them or the linking component
Sole > upper?
4th Characteristic Pair
• Complete
• Partial
Complete link
• There is a complete link when there is no movement between linked parts
Top > bottom
Partial
• There is a partial link when at least one part is capable of motion with respect to the other
Cap > pen
Guiding Controls
Work book p. 221Text book p. 431
Guiding is…
• The mechanical function performed by any component that controls the motion of one or more moving parts
A Guiding Component or Control is..
• A component whose mechanical function is to guide the motion of moving parts
Adhesion is…
• The phenomenon by which two surfaces tend to remain in contact with each other without slipping
In Mechanics, Friction is…
• A force that resists the slipping of one moving part over another
Lubrication is…
• The mechanical function performed by any component that reduces friction between two parts
Main Types of Guiding
Translational Guiding
• Ensures the straight translational motion of a moving part
Translational Guide
Rotational Guiding
• Ensures the rotational motion of a moving part
Rotational Guide
Helical Guiding…
• Ensures the translational motion of a moving part while it rotates about the same axis
Helical Guide
