Course: Engineering Drawing and Design (21106-18) > Section: Producing Illustrations

Preparation should include calculating formulas. Parts that transfer energy or motion may include

- cams
- gears
- belts
- linkages
- shafts.

Process/Skill Questions:

- What is a cam?
- What are the various types of cams?
- What are the types of motions that can be produced by cams?
- What are the various types of gears?
- How do engineers apply gear formulas to solve problems and transfer motion between mechanical parts?
- What are the commands and options in CAD software that help to illustrate the path of a cam or the teeth of a gear?
- What is a cam displacement diagram, and for what is it used?
- How is the curve on a spur gear tooth developed?
- What is an involute curve of a gear tooth?
