  2. Screw mechanism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screw_mechanism

    The thread angle is the included angle, measured at a section parallel to the axis, between the two bearing faces of the thread. The angle between the axial load force and the normal to the bearing surface is approximately equal to half the thread angle, so the thread angle has a great effect on the friction and efficiency of a screw, as well ...

    Once the webbing is threaded through the fastener, the ratcheting mechanism is employed to take up the slack and tension the assembly to the necessary level. The ratcheting mechanism functions similarly to a socket wrench; you open and close the fastener repeatedly to pull the webbing through the fastener. Releasing the tension is a simple ...

  4. Jackscrew - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackscrew

    Screw jacks are limited in their lifting capacity. Increasing load increases friction within the screw threads. A fine pitch thread, which would increase the advantage of the screw, also reduces the speed of which the jack can operate. Using a longer operating lever soon reaches the point where the lever will simply bend at its inner end.

  5. CPU socket - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CPU_socket

    A CPU socket is made of plastic, and often comes with a lever or latch, and with metal contacts for each of the pins or lands on the CPU. Many packages are keyed to ensure the proper insertion of the CPU. CPUs with a PGA (pin grid array) package are inserted into the socket and, if included, the latch is closed.

  6. Screw thread - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screw_thread

    A screw thread is a helical structure used to convert between rotational and linear movement or force. A screw thread is a ridge wrapped around a cylinder or cone in the form of a helix, with the former being called a straight thread and the latter called a tapered thread.

  7. Leadscrew - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leadscrew

    This is most easily described for a square or buttress thread as the thread angle is 0 and has no bearing on the calculations. The unwrapped thread forms a right angle triangle where the base is π d m {\displaystyle \pi d_{\text{m}}} long and the height is the lead (pictured to the right).

  8. Loom - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loom

    A loom, then, usually needs two beams, and some way to hold them apart. It generally has additional components to make shedding, picking, and battening faster and easier. There are also often components to help take up the fell. The nature of the loom frame and the shedding, picking, and battening devices vary.

  9. Mechanical advantage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_advantage

    The lever is a movable bar that pivots on a fulcrum attached to or positioned on or across a fixed point. The lever operates by applying forces at different distances from the fulcrum, or pivot. The location of the fulcrum determines a lever's class. Where a lever rotates continuously, it functions as a rotary second-class lever.
