0891-316 - Mechanical Devices and Systems

Institution:

Rochester Institute of Technology

Subject:

Description:

This course builds on course work introduced in prior physics and automated system courses. Students learn about mechanical components found in transmission pathways of automated systems, including drive mechanisms, pallet changers, shifters, conveyers, gears and linkages. Students analyze factors contributing to mechanical failure such as load and torque. Effects of changes in pressure, direction, force, speed and other physical parameters are also studied. Students work with simulated modules and automated systems with mechanical components. (0885-201; corequisite: 0891-220) Class 1, Lab 6, Credit 3 (W)
