Northern Laboratories 1, UG Lab Complex
Overview:
This laboratory explores the fundamental building blocks of machinery by constructing linkages like the Watts, Peaucellier-Lipkin and Pantograph, experimentally verifying the Grashof Criterion and its various inversions, Epicyclic gear train torque balancing, mapping of cam profiles, static and dynamic balancing of rotating and reciprocating masses.
Equipment:
- MAKIT - Master Kit
- Epicyclic Gear Train Apparatus
- CAM Analysis Apparatus
- Static & Dynamic Balancing Apparatus
- Balancing of Reciprocating Masses Apparatus
Experiments:
- Develop the understanding of different types of links, joints, mechanism, its actions and curve traces by making Peaucelliar-Lipkin Linkage, Watts, Pantograph and a four bar mechanism with a translational link using the kit provided.
- Understand Grashof Criterion, its inversions, form Grashof, non-Grashof Mechanism and all possible cases of its mechanism and inversions using the kit provided.
- Measure the input, output and holding torque using spring balance to study torque relationship and verify the correlation between speed and torque in epicyclic gear train.
- Draw the cam profile from the observed (deg/ displacement) and compare it with the actual profile.
- Balanced a simple rotating mass system (a) Statically by randomly orienting two masses and analytically solve to get the orientation of rest of two masses. (b) Dynamically by statically balancing the masses along the length of the rotor such that the net moment become zero.
- (a) Balanced a simple rotating mass system using 2 Plane Balancing approach by placing two masses at specified positions and orientations and analytically solve to get the orientation of rest of two masses at pre-specified plan along the length of the rotor.
(b) Observe reciprocating unbalance by adding masses to the pre balanced system.
