Q

Six types of lower pairs

A

Revolute or pin (R-Pair)
Prismatic pair (P-pair)
Helical pair (H-Pair)
Cylindrical (C-Pair)
Spherical (S-pair)
Planar pair (E-pair)

20
Q

Lower pair that is made up of two congruent
mating surfaces of revolution. It has one rotational DOF
about its axis.

A

Revolute Pair (R-Pair)

21
Q

Pair that is comprised of two congruent non-
circular cylinders, or prisms. It has one translational DOF

A

Prismatic pair (P-pair)

22
Q

Also called screw. This pair is consists of two congruent helicoidally surfaces whose elements are a convex screw and a concave nut. 1 translational or rotational DOF, coupled by the pitch S

A

Helical pair (H-pair)

23
Q

consists of mating convex
and concave circular cylinders. They can rotate relative to each other about their common axis, and translate
relative to each other in a direction parallel to the axis.
Hence the C-pair h

A

Cylindrical pair (C-Pair)

24
Q

consists of a solid sphere which exactly conforms with a spherical shell. They are
also called ball-joints. They permit three rotational
DOF about intersecting orthogonal axes.

A

Spherical S-pair

25
Q

German word for plane

A

Ebene

26
Q

special S-pair comprising two
concentric spheres of infinite radius. They permit two orthogonal translations and one rotational DOF about
an axis orthogonal to the plane of translation. They
provide three DOF in total.

A

Planar (E-pair)

27
Q

If two links have a sliding motion relative
to each other, they form a

A

Sliding pair

28
Q

When one link has a turning or
revolving motion relative to the other, they constitute

A

Turning pair

29
Q

When the links of a pair have a rolling
motion relative to each other, they constitute a

A

Rolling pair

30
Q

If two mating links have a turning as well
as sliding motion between them, they form a

A

Screw pair

31
Q

When one link in the form of a sphere
turns inside a fixed link, it is a

A

Spherical pair

32
Q

The relative motion is pure
translation as in a reciprocating cam
activating a knife-edge or mushroom head
follower, or the finger tip of a robot hand
sliding on a at surface.

A

Pure sliding

33
Q

The relative motion involves
rolling without slip, such as the tangential
pitch circles or mating sets of spur gears, or
rack and pinion system

A

Pure rolling

34
Q

A body which is if under
the action of forces, it does not suffer any
distortion.

A

Rigid body

35
Q

Those which are rigid for the purpose they have to serve

A

Resistant bodies

36
Q

Which are normally flexible,
but under certain loading conditions act as
rigid body for the limited purpose.

A

Semi-rigid body

Combination of Sliding and Rolling

38
Q

When the elements of a pair are
held together mechanically, they are

A

Closed pair

39
Q

When two links of a pair
are in contact either due to force of gravity
or some spring action,

A

Unclosed pair

40
Q

defined as the number
of independent relative motions both translational and rotational.

A

Degrees of freedom

41
Q

A resistant body or a group of resistant
bodies with rigid connections preventing their relative movement is known as

A

Link

42
Q

an assembly of links in
which the relative motions of the links is
possible and the motion of each relative to
the other is definite.

A

Kinematic chain

43
Q

does
not allow any motion of a link relative to the
other.

A

Redundant chain

44
Q

If motion of any of the movable links
results in definite motions of the others the
linkage is known as

A

Mechanism

45
Q

If one of the links of a redundant chain is fixed, it is known as
