Joints can be classified as lower pairs and higher pairs. Find the meaning of "lower pairs" and "higher pairs" in mechanics of machinery. Answer: A lower pair is an ideal joint that constrains contact between a surface in the moving body to a corresponding in the fixed body. A lower pair is one in which there occurs a surface or area contact between two members, e.g. nut and screw, universal joint used to connect two propeller shafts. Generally, a higher pair is a constraint that requires a curve or surface in the moving body to maintain contact with a curve or surface in the fixed body. For example, the contact between a cam and its follower is a higher pair called a cam joint. Similarly, the contact between the involute curves that form the meshing teeth of two gears are cam joints, as is a wheel rolling on a surface. It has a point or line contact. Lower and higher pair is a type of contacts in kinematics pairs or joint, these type of contacts are lower pair whi...
