The systems we have studied to this point are systems that transmit motion without altering its nature. In many technical objects , however it is often useful to modify a motion while transferring it. These cases call for motion transformation systems .
A short review of concepts
MOTION TRANSFORMATION: is the mechanical function of relaying a motion from one part to another while altering the nature of the motion
There are four types of motion
Linear Motion is the motion in a straight line
Rotary Motion is the motion in a circle
Oscillating Motion is motion backwards
and forwards in an arc
Reciprocation Motion is motion backwards
and forwards in a straight line
