About Machine Elements and Power Transmission
GoConqr OriginalWhat the unit covers
This unit sits in the Machine Design strand of Mechanical engineering. Its resources follow how power moves through a machine: gears, shafts, bearings, clutches, couplings and brakes, plus the friction and lubrication that keep them working.
- Gears: the flashcard deck Components - Gears covers spur, helical, idler, worm and wheel, bevel and mitre, hypoid, compound trains and rack and pinion. The mind map Gears—General deals with nomenclature such as circular pitch.
- Friction and lubrication: the Friction and Wear mind map separates dry contact from lubricated surfaces. The Lubrication map looks at grease, oil, gas and solid lubricants, and another map covers synthetic oils.
- Drives and couplings: look for the maps on clutches and fluid couplings, the Differential map, and the Belt drives deck.
Where to start
Begin with the gears deck to learn the types and their names. Then open Spur and Helical Gears or Gear Ratios to see how the ideas connect. Move on to Bearings and Classification of bearings, then Friction and Wear and Lubrication.
Using quizzes and maps together
Read a mind map first, then take a quiz on the same topic. The Gears and Gear Manufacturing quiz checks gear types and spur gear facts. The quiz on bearings and seals tests what bearings are designed to do. Tribology, Anti Friction Bearings and Lubrication are good follow-ups.
Wrong answers show you which map to reread. Surface finish is covered in the REVISION deck, which asks you to define waviness, roughness and lay.
Who it suits
About half the resources are at university level, with the rest split between school and professional material. Students can revise, and teachers can pick ready-made sets to share.
Choose one topic today, work through a map and a quiz, then make your own flashcards from what you missed.
Frequently asked questions
Which resource should I open first?
Start with the flashcard deck Components - Gears. It names the main gear types, from spur and helical to worm and wheel, bevel, hypoid and rack and pinion. After that, try the Gears and Gear Manufacturing quiz to see which types you still mix up.
What do the mind maps cover?
There are over 60 mind maps. They cover gears, bearings, shafts, clutches and couplings, differentials, friction and wear, and lubrication, including grease, oils and synthetic oils. Some look at everyday machines, such as a front loader washing machine's mechanical system.
Are the resources free to use?
Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself. A free account also saves your quiz scores and lets you make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes.
Which levels is this page suited to?
The listed resources are about half university level, with around a third at school level and the rest professional. University students and professional candidates will find the most, but school students can use the gear and mechanism material too, and teachers can pick sets to share.
Are there quizzes on bearings and lubrication?
Yes. The page lists quizzes on Anti Friction Bearings, Lubrication and Tribology, plus one on bearings and seals. Use them after reading the Bearings and Lubrication mind map, so you can check what you remember about reducing friction and protecting surfaces.
What if I cannot find the topic I need?
Try a nearby resource first. Mechanism and transmission maps overlap with gears, drives and clutches. If the topic is still missing, you can make your own mind map, flashcards or quiz with a free account and keep it for revision.
