Ratchet Wrench Mechanism for tight spaces: Inside View and Motion Demonstration #ratchetwrench

Подробнее о видео

This video showcases the Ratchet Wrench Mechanism in both internal and practical views to help you understand how it works. A ratchet wrench is a commonly used hand tool that allows users to tighten or loosen nuts and bolts with a back-and-forth motion, without removing and repositioning the wrench after each turn.

🔍 Top View (Internal Mechanism):

The first part of the video gives you an inside look at the mechanism of a ratchet wrench. It contains:

A gear wheel connected to the socket

Two spring-loaded pawls that engage the gear teeth

A switch lever to change the direction of operation


When you rotate the handle in one direction, the pawls grip the gear and turn the socket. When rotated in the opposite direction, the pawls slide over the gear teeth, producing a clicking sound and allowing the handle to reset without turning the socket. This is what enables one-way rotation.

🔧 Bottom View (Practical Motion):

The second part of the video shows the ratchet wrench drawing a fan-like pattern on paper. Each stroke represents the back-and-forth motion, while the center rotates in small increments. This visually demonstrates how small angular movements accumulate into continuous rotation.

🧠 Application & Insight:

Ratchet wrenches are essential in tight spaces where a full rotation isn't possible. This mechanism saves time and effort, making it ideal for mechanical work, automotive repairs, and construction.
