Machining

Cutting tool is a part and parcel in every conventional machining process. Tool material and geometry are two active parameters that influence process capability and machinability. For uninterrupted material removal, the tool material should be harder than the workpiece material. In addition to the hardness, tool material should ideally possess certain common properties, such as high strength, high toughness, high fatigue strength, shape retention capability at high temperature, high thermal

Mechanical power transmission system takes help of several drives and elements in order to transmit power, torque and motion from one shaft to another shaft. Such drives can be either engagement type (gear drive and chain drive) or friction type (belt drive and rope drive). Belt drive is one reliable mechanical power transmission system that is commonly used to transmit power and motion over considerably larger distance (even up to

Majority of mechanical machine units are driven by a prime mover, which converts mainly electrical energy into mechanical energy (usually in the form of rotation of a shaft). Power generated by the prime mover is transferred to the intended location for driving various elements of the machinery. Several power transmitting elements are used for such transmission purposes; each of them has specific advantages and disadvantages. Gear drive, belt drive, chain

Basic purpose of mechanical drive is to transmit torque, motion and power from driving shaft (usually a prime mover like an electric motor) to driven shaft, and also to alter the intensity, direction and speed as per the requirement. There exist several mechanical drives to fulfill varying industrial and machinery requirements. Such drives can be classified into two major categories—positive drive and non-positive drive. A positive drive is free from
