4. Motion Transformation

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
