  2. Groove (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groove_(engineering)

    This canal may receive a circlip, an o-ring, or a gasket. A depression on the entire circumference of a cast or machined wheel, a pulley or sheave. This depression may receive a cable, a rope or a belt. A longitudinal channel formed in a hot rolled rail profile such as a grooved rail. This groove is for the flange on a train wheel.

  3. Linear-motion bearing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear-motion_bearing

    Like any bearing, a dovetail slide is composed of a stationary linear base and a moving carriage. a Dovetail carriage has a v-shaped, or dovetail-shaped protruding channel which locks into the linear base's correspondingly shaped groove. Once the dovetail carriage is fitted into its base's channel, the carriage is locked into the channel's ...

    dovetail joint A joint technique most commonly used in woodworking joinery. Noted for its resistance to being pulled apart (tensile strength), the dovetail joint is commonly used to join the sides of a drawer to the front. dowel A cylindrical piece of wood used as a pin for securing a joint. drawknife

  5. End-face mechanical seal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/End-face_mechanical_seal

    Both the seal ring and mating must accommodate secondary sealing elements. In some designs, various retainers, sleeves and other components may also include secondary sealing elements. Whereas a simple O-ring might require only a groove for fitting, some secondary sealing elements (for example, packing) might require mechanical compression.

  6. Mandrel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandrel

    A mandrel, mandril, or arbor is a tapered tool against which material can be forged, pressed, stretched or shaped (e.g., a ring mandrel - also called a triblet [1] - used by jewellers to increase the diameter of a wedding ring), or a flanged or tapered or threaded bar that grips a workpiece to be machined in a lathe.

  7. Way (machine tool element) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Way_(machine_tool_element)

    The geometry of the way can vary depending on the situation. The most common types are flat, vee, and dovetail ways. Flat ways are used when there is little requirement for the slide to be constrained perpendicular to the axis of movement, or the constraint is being provided by another component or otherwise not needed, such as on the carriage of a lathe.

  8. Waveguide flange - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waveguide_flange

    Machining down the end of the waveguide tube has left a clear pattern across the recessed face and the end of the tube. The flats on either side of the flange are to allow a threaded collar to be manoeuvred over it, [1] while the notches at the top and bottom are for alignment. The O-ring for pressurization is in place.

  9. Micrometer (device) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micrometer_(device)

    They allow, for example, the measuring of a narrow o-ring groove. Pitch-diameter micrometers (aka thread mics) have a matching set of thread-shaped tips for measuring the pitch diameter of screw threads. Limit mics have two anvils and two spindles, and are used like a snap gauge. The part being checked must pass through the first gap and must ...
