  • A Machine with Few Or No Moving Parts. Simple Machines Make Work Easier
    Simple Machine: A machine with few or no moving parts. Simple machines make work easier. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grWIC9VsFY4 Pulley 1.There are six simple machines. They make it easier for us to do work. A wheel pulley is one of the six simple machines. A pulley is a wheel with a rope wrapped around it. The wheel has a groove around the edge to hold the rope in place. You can attach one end of the rope to a heavy object that you want to lift. You will pull on the other end of the rope to lift the heavy object. Pulleys make work easier by changing the direction of the force needed to do work. It is hard to lift a heavy object up into the air. It is easier to pull the same object down to the ground. This is because of the force of gravity. Gravity is the force that pulls objects down to the Earth. Gravity helps to make work easier when you use a pulley. You can also use more than one pulley at a time to make the work even easier. The weight will feel lighter with each pulley that you use. If you use two pulleys, it will feel like you are pulling one-half as much weight. If you use four pulleys, it will feel like you are pulling one-fourth as much weight! The weight will be easy to move, but you will have more rope to pull with each pulley that you add. You will pull twice as much rope with two pulleys.

  • Stepper Motor Linear Actuators Pre-Engineered Lead Screw Assemblies and Actuators for Precision Applications
    Stepper Motor Linear Actuators Pre-engineered lead screw assemblies and actuators for precision applications www.thomsonlinear.com Stepper Motor Linear Actuator Assemblies Combining cutting-edge motor and lead screw technologies Thomson offers three basic configurations – rotating screw (MLS), rotating nut (MLN) and actuator (MLA). The open architecture rotating screw and rotating nut motorized lead screws suit applications where external guidance is present or a high level of design flexibility is required, while the closed assembly of the motorized lead screw actuator is ideal to further simplify the design process and remove requirements for external guidance. Technology Overview Rotating screw assemblies actuate by having the motor rotate a lead screw and translate a load that is attached to the lead nut. Rotating nut assemblies actuate by rotating a nut within the motor body. Motion is achieved by constraining the motor and translating a load attached to the lead screw or constraining the lead screw and translating a load attached to the motor. Rotating Screw Configuration MLS The rotating screw design, which is ideal for rapid prototyping, features our patented Taper-Lock design to connect the lead screw to the motor shaft. It is best suited for applications where high levels of maintenance are anticipated, frequent disassembly/reassembly is required, or easy removal of the lead screw is necessary. Customers also can consider field serviceability for this configuration. Rotating Nut Configuration MLN The rotating nut design features our patented integration of a lead nut into the motor rotor to maximize screw diameter, which increases load capacity. It is ideally suited for applications where no visible rotation is desired or where it is necessary to translate a load on either side of the motor.

  • The History of the Screw
    The history of the screw From early historical times up to the 20th century Screws and nuts have become common objects used throughout the world and they are often used lavishly. Modern screws are real high-tech products and the path to them becoming mass-produced articles has a long history behind it. By the way: We always say that the nut is female and not male and this expression was actually used in the Krünitz encyc- lopaedia published in 1800. Technical differences exist between rotating and securing threads and they result from the flank shape and the angle, as contrary requirements exist Jewelery with screws for rotating or securing tasks. Today the following description for a screw is listed by Brockhaus as fol- lows: “Screw; a fixture made from steel, copper, brass or light metal used to produce a removable connection; it consists of a cylindrical head, has a threaded shaft and the nut used with it has an internal thread and this nut must be tightened up or undone using a wrench.” The word "screw" now has a permanent place in the language that we Roman speculum at 50 a.D. use every day: “Eine Schraube locker haben” and “Erwartungen zurück- schrauben” and “geschraubte Rede” (used during the 18th century) are terms used in German, which loosely mean “to have a screw loose”, “ex- pectations have been retracted, i.e. unscrewed” and “stilted or convoluted speech” in English. The word “screw” is also used whenever something has to be tightened up, undone, unscrewed or screwed in. Early historical times Helixes or spiral structures are often found in nature in their natural forms.

Penn State is an equal opportunity, affirmative action employer, and is committed to providing employment opportunities toall qualified applicants without regard to race, color, religion, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability or protected veteran status. WHAT IS A SIMPLE MACHINE? A simple machine is a tool that has very few parts and is used to make work easier. What is work? Work is the amount of force or effort it takes to move an object from one place to another. There are 6 types of simple machines: Lever: A lever is a moveable beam placed over a fixed point or fulcrum. The load is placed on one end and the force (or work) is placed on the other. A lever is used to raise a load a short distance. Picture source: https://www.softschools.com/examples/simple_machines/levers_examples/510/ Wheel and Axle: A wheel alone and an axle alone are not considered simple machines. They must be combined. When the axle spins, the output of force in the wheel is greater, making moving the object easier. Picture source: https://eschooltoday.com/science/simple-machines/what-is-a-wheel-and-axle.html Inclined Plane: An inclined plane is also called a ramp.
