Machine components
7.5 ECTS creditsIn lectures, the theoretical foundation, function, performance, and dimension criteria of the most common machine components are described. Variants of machine components and their advantages and disadvantages are treated along with their suitability for different machines and systems, with a special emphasis on the components and performance of drive systems, which is also explored in a laboratory session.
In supervised exercises and individual work, students practise choosing and dimensioning different machine components for different requirements and also practise reading basic mechanical drawings.
The machine components treated are principally roller bearings, slide bearings, screw joints, springs, brakes, belt drives, press joint and shrink fittings, axles and shaft couplings. Basic reading of drawings is included.
