This lab is meant for the study of various mechanisms & kinematics of the machines. It consists of basic models of power transmission devices (i.e Belt & Pulley arrangement, Gear & Gear Train), cam & follower arrangement, Coriolis component of acceleration, whirling of the shaft, and various mechanism, single & double slider crank mechanism, whit worth quick return mechanism, etc.
