Complex Mechanisms 22

A bevel gear transfers power at what angle

• 180 degrees

• parallel

• 90 degrees

• 360 degrees

what type of power does this mechanism output?

• linear

• rotary

• turbo

• reciprocating

The output direction is opposite of the input for this mechanism

• True

• False

The type of power input to this mechanism is

• rotary

• linear

• reciprocating

• turbo

Our VEX motors output what type of power

• rotary

• reciprocating

• slow

• linear

Answer explanation

All electric motors generate power in a circular or rotary motion.

Why would you use this mechanism in a robot?

• Need to increase the speed

• Need to increase the torque

• Need to change the direction of power

• Need to change from rotary to linear power

If I make the driver gear bigger, the output will be ...

• faster

• slower

• stay the same
