Mechanical Drives and It’s types – Free Udemy Courses

As an Engineering student in the stream of mechanical / Automobile / Machine design / Manufacturing / Aeronautics / Marine, It is very important to know about power transmission. That power transmission is caused by mechanical elements/drives/linkages. In this course, we are going to learn about the mechanical drives which facilitate power transmission. There are mainly three types of drives such as belt drives, Gear drives, and chain drives. As an Engineer / technical person, it is very important to select the type of material based on driving load, type of drives, and amount of energy in power transmission.

Some key terms you should know before entering into the course.

1. Driver shaft  – it means the shaft which is directly connected to the motor / mechanical force/torque to transform motion is called the driver shaft

2  Driven shaft – it means the shaft which is driven by the Driver shaft

3. Relation between friction and slippage. Friction is inversely proportional to slippage. If friction increases the slippage decreases. If the friction decreases the slippage increases.

4. Lubricant is used to smooth the operating mechanism in drives. Using proper regular lubrication shall increase the life span of drives. Lubricant helps to wear resistance in drives.
