What are Four Different Types of Power Transmission Methods

-

Power transmission is one of the most comment phenomena which happen in most of the mechanical powered machines. 

Power transmission is the transfer of power from primary mover to the mechanism which provides the useful output. 

Following are four different types of power transmission methods used in each and every mechanically powered device.

1. Gear Drive Power Transmission System

2. Chain Drive Power Transmission System

3. Rope Drive Power Transmission System


Four Different Power Transmission Methods
Four Different Power Transmission Methods

Gear Drive Power Transmission System

This methods of transmitting power using gears is one of most commonly used method in vehicles where power from motor or engine is transfer to the tires using one or more gear sets. 

Gear drives are mostly used in those applications where length between the primary mover and driving mechanism is very small and power or rpm value requirement at the output is fixed. 

Gears used in gear drives are as follow

1. Spur Gears
2. Spur Helical Gears
3. Bevel Gears
4. Helical Bevel Gear
5. Worm and worm wheel

Advantages and Disadvantages of Different Types of Gears

Chain Drive Power Transmission System

Power transmission using chain is one of most commonly used method in vehicles like bicycle and motor bike where power from motor or engine is transfer to the tires using set of chain and sprocket. 

Chain drives are mostly used in those applications where length between the primary mover and driving mechanism is large and weight of chain drive done not affect the system. 

The power or rpm value requirement at the output is fixed for chain drive power transmission system.

Difference Between Chain Drive and Belt Drive Mechanism in Power Transfer

Rope Drive Power Transmission System

Power transmission using ropes is one of most commonly used method is machines (in which large power is needed to transfer with light weight mechanism) where power from motor or engine is transfer to the tires using set of rope and pulleys. 

Rope drives are mostly used in those applications where length between the primary mover and driving mechanism is very large and weight of rope drive done not affect the system. 

The power or rpm value requirement at the output is not fixed (slip will not affect system) for rope drive power transmission system.

Belt Drive Power Transmission System

This methods of transmitting power using belts is one of most commonly used method in machines like lathe machine water pump where power from motor or engine is transfer to the tires using one or more belts and pulleys sets. 

Belt drives are mostly used in those applications where length between the primary mover and driving mechanism is very large and power or rpm value requirement at the output is not fixed (slip will not affect system). 

Belts used in belt drives are as follow

1. Flat Belts
2. V Belts

To understand the deflection of beam Objective of  deflection of beam lab report 1. Learn basic working of beam 2. Perform theoretical calculation for deflection of beam 3. Perform series of experiment with different material, shapes and load  for beam 4. Compare the result and Discuss the finding Introduction to  deflection of beam Load supporting element in any structure that is installed in horizontal direction and take load perpendicular to its length is called a beam.   Based on the way it is installed in structure, beam can be classified in to four main types.  First simply supported beam which have supports at its both ends, second is overhanging beam which have length extended over its supports, third is overhanging beam which have more than two supports and fourth is cantilever beam which fixed only at one end and other end is free.  There are three basic types of supports available for beams which includes fixed ends support, pined connection support and roller end support.

Aim of Bending Moment in a Beam Aim of this experiment is to study effect of force magnitude on bending moment of beam Recommended:   Deflection of Beam Lab Report Theory Bending Moment in a Beam Beams A structural element which is designed and used to bear high load of structure and other external load is called beam. There are many different types of beam like cantilever beam, simple supported beam and overhanging beam.  Bending of Beam When an external load or the structural load applied in beam is large enough to displace the beam from its present place, then that deflection of beam from its resent axis is called bending of beam.  Bending Moment In simple words bending moment is the product of force applied on beam with the distance between the point of application of force and fixed end of the beam Introduction to Experiment of Bending Moment in a Beam This experiment is about studying the effect of force magnitude on bending of beam and for that structure hardwar

Aim of Bernoulli experiment Aim of this experiment is to compare the behaviour of ideal fluid and real fluid using Bernoulli experiment. Objective of Bernoulli Theorem 1. Use the venture meter apparatus to perform Bernoulli experiment and the effect of area of the flow velocity and fluid pressure 2. Use the Bernoulli’s equation /  Bernoulli theorem  to compare the behaviour of ideal and real fluid Introduction  Bernoulli Experiment According to the Bernoulli’s experiment when area available for the fluid to flow decrease then flow of fluid increase and at the mean while time the fluid pressure or the fluid potential energy decreases. Read about the Effect of Sluice Gate on the Flow of Fluid .  This principle was name after the Daniel Bernoulli who first writes this principle in book named Hydrodynamic.  Following are some of the application of the Bernoulli experiment Find the Air-flight Lift Baseball Draft Sailing Theory of Bernoulli's Theorem Experiment According to Mil
