This mechanical shutter is a functional unit that can be used on industrial product. It is not designed for cameras. All parts are designed towards to manufacturing purpose. It can be used as an industrial lens protector. Of course, it is not only a lens protector, you can use it in any occasions as needed. …
Mechanical iris (Iris diaphragm) is a type of intricately designed mechanism. The center can gradually open and close. There are several ways to design and construct an iris mechanism. And you can see lots of variations on the market. In this article, we will share some design files. If you have a laser cutter, 3d …
There are many types of mechanisms. In this article, we introduce a self-locking expansion mechanism, and it is a two-position locking mechanism too. It can be used to expand pipes or other cylindrical parts. This expanding mechanism comprises a cylinder body, a cylinder ring, a driving plate, a bottom cover, 6 pins, 6 pistons, 6 …

Planetary gear set is widely used in many fields. Planetary gear system is called epicyclic gear system too. You can find planetary gear sets on robots, cars, helicopters, 3D printers, CNC machines, and much more. To design this type of transmission system, you need to be very skilled in this area. But now there are many …
When you want to transmit rotary motion between intersecting shafts, bevel gear set is one choice. Most bevel gears are mounted at 90° to each other, but it is not a rule. In fact, bevel gears can be manufactured for nearly any angle. We create some bevel gear examples here to show you the motion. …
