Mechanisms Plus – Spanish

This kit adds a further level of learning about Mechanisms in addition to our Fundamental Mechanisms kit (FM0759). This addition will look to explore mechanisms in more detail by showing students how systems utilise pivots and degrees of freedom to create specific motion. The students will also be able to see how rotary motion translate to linear motion and the unique rotary motion of Geneva and ratchet mechanisms.

No fundamental knowledge is required to complete the learning outcomes of this kit.

Learning Objectives:

Additional Mechanisms:

• Conversion of motion using the Geneva and Ratchet mechanism.

Mechanisms:

• Conversion of rotary motion to linear motion.
• Application of quick return mechanisms.
• Application of mechanisms and where they can be found in real life.

Bar Linkages:

• Understanding of the mechanisms constructed and how they utilise pivots and degrees of freedom to create a specific motion.
