www.psmotion.com mechdesigner.support A video showing the 'classic' straight-line mechanisms. These can give straight line guidance that is often good enough for what you need, and without the expense of a linear guide.

www.psmotion.com mechdesigner.support Indexing Mechanism with full shaft rotation with short dwell. Simple Cam with Gear Segments. Cheaper than Parallel Indexer, Applications include film feed, and web cutting. Green, constant-speed, input-shaft; Brown, indexing, output shaft; Cam to oscillate gear segment which modules the speed of the output shaft.

www.psmotion.com Brief introduction to the new reverse engineering features that have been added to MechDesigner: the Point-Cloud and Magnetic-Joint Tools.

www.psmotion.com When a claw hammer extracts a nail from timber, a lot of energy is expended just to bend the nail, and to rip through the timber as the nail is bent toward the fulcrum of the claw hammer. This mechanism eliminates both of these unnecessary wastages and so makes the nail extraction relatively effortless - AND it saves the nail!!! Here, we use the Straight-Line properties of the ...

www.psmotion.com ; MechDesigner: Mechanism, Cam, Motion Design Software. The mechanism is a six (6)-bar mechanism, wth one part translating, with only revolute joints. It also generates a coupler curve describing an inverted 'J' - it has a straight line section of the coupler curve. One of the Parts in the mechanism does not rotate - it is used as platform to pick and place product from A to B....

www.psmotion.com Inspired by a model in Disney Research - I took to playing with MechDesigner to show it is easy to recreate the same models. Unlike Disney Research, this MechDesiger builds full invloute gears that are in mesh.

www.psmotion.com Kinematic Model of Bernays Steam Engine. A cross section is taken across the valves and piston. I don't think the timing of the piston and valve postions are that good, but it all comes out in the wash from the diemsnions I have been able to get. If anyone has more information then please let me know.

www.psmotion.com James Watt Patents: 1: Flywheel Speed Amplifier. Flywheel turns at twice the speed so it can have a smaller radius and still offer the same storage energy. 2: Straight-Line Mechanism: the so called three link mechanism (actually a four link mechanism as the machine frame is always included). Watt was very pleased with this. 3: Parallel Motion Mechanism: this simply amplified th...

www.psmotion.com Using External (Epicycloid) and Internal (Hypocycloid) Gears to move a point in a straight-line and drive a linear slide-rail. Also called Cardan Motion. Here we look at a way to design the mechanism layout so it can be used to move a slider with simple harmonic motion. The Slide Rail has a hole machined throught - just to help you visualise the design. The slide rail actually ...

www.psmotion.com A design embodiment of a Cardan Straight-Line Mechanism: A fixed central gear. An idler rolling around it and another gear, half the teeth of the fixed central gear, engaged with the idler. A Point that rotates with the outer gear happens to trace a straight-line if it passes through the centre of the fixed gear. The striaght line is 4 times longer than the centre distance - si...

www.psmotion.com Tutorial: How to set up a mechanism to analyse forces and then reduce forces by changing link length and centres in the mechanism. MechDesigner provides kineamtic and kinetostatic data at all points, and Cam Contact Froces, in any kinematic-chain.

www.psmotion.com Tutorial describing how to import parts and mass properties from SolidWorks into MechDesigner. You can use the power of MechDesigner to model the motion and configuration of many complex mechanisms in a machine, anduse the power of SolidWorks to model complex 3D shapes.
