Ratchet Mechanism 12 August 2019, 19:30 Sorry, your browser doesn't support embedded videos, but don't worry, you can download it and watch it with your favorite video player! Input: green crank. Output: ratchet wheel. Both go and back motions of the green crank make the wheel rotate in the same direction. The pawls pull the wheel. Gravity maintains contact between pawls and ratchet wheel. « previous mechanism Roberts Four-Bar Linkage next mechanism » Fixed Cam Mechanism load comments Please enable JavaScript to view the comments.
