Overview of Activity:
Overview of Activity:
Members learned about how pulleys, timing belts, chains, and sprockets function and how these parts can be utilized in engineering design. With their new knowledge, members completed challenges involving pulleys and timing belts.
Timing Pulleys:
Timing Pulleys:
Timing pulleys are specialized parts designed to mesh with timing belts through the use of teeth/grooves. They allow rotary motion and torque to be transferred across long distances through belts. Just as with gears, the ratio of teeth between pulleys affects the transfer of speed/torque.
Timing Belts:
Timing Belts:
Timing belts are parts which connect pulleys and link their motion, transferring force and motion. They synchronize rotation and allow for long distance energy transfer.
Sprockets:
Sprockets:
Sprockets are specialized parts to designed with roller chain, with teeth which fit into the holes in the links between chains. Like pulleys, they allow rotary motion and torque to be transferred across long distances. Just as with gears, the ratio of teeth between pulleys affects the transfer of speed/torque.
Chain:
Chain:
Roller chains are long chains of metal made of multiple links with holes to mesh with sprockets. Like timing belts, they synchronize rotation of sprockets and transfer force and motion.
