  2. Kinematic pair - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinematic_pair

    A screw joint or helical H joint requires cut threads in two links, so that there is a turning as well as sliding motion between them. This joint has one degree of freedom. A cylindrical C joint requires that a line in the moving body remain co-linear with a line in the fixed body. It is a combination of a revolute joint and a sliding joint.

  3. Rotary union - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_union

    The shaft is the component that carries the medium through the rotary union into the drum or roll. In many cases the shaft will turn with the drum or roll. In some cases, like in larger flanged rotary unions, the shaft may be stationary while the housing rotates. The bearings and seal are typically assembled around the shaft.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Futurama:_Worlds_of_Tomorrow

    Futurama: Worlds of Tomorrow was a freemium mobile game for iOS and Android, based on the American animated series Futurama.It was released on June 29, 2017 [2] and featured stories written by writers from the TV series with the show's original cast voicing their respective characters.

  5. Rotating locomotion in living systems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotating_locomotion_in...

    A wheeled buffalo figurine—probably a children's toy—from Magna Graecia in archaic Greece [1]. Several organisms are capable of rolling locomotion. However, true wheels and propellers—despite their utility in human vehicles—do not play a significant role in the movement of living things (with the exception of the corkscrew-like flagella of many prokaryotes).

  6. Flexure bearing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flexure_bearing

    Flexure bearings can give very low friction and also give very predictable friction. Many other bearings rely on sliding or rolling motions (rolling-element bearings), which are necessarily uneven because the bearing surfaces are never perfectly flat. A flexure bearing operates by bending of materials, which causes motion at microscopic level ...

  7. Rolling-element bearing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling-element_bearing

    Roller bearings are the earliest known type of rolling-element-bearing, dating back to at least 40 BC. Common roller bearings use cylinders of slightly greater length than diameter. Roller bearings typically have a higher radial load capacity than ball bearings, but a lower capacity and higher friction under axial loads.

  8. Frictional contact mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frictional_contact_mechanics

    Rolling contact between a cylinder and a plane. Particles moving through the contact area from right to left, being strained more and more until local sliding sets in. Rolling contact problems are dynamic problems in which the contacting bodies are continuously moving with respect to each other.

  9. Rocker arm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocker_arm

    However, these generally have the roller at the point where the cam lobe contacts the rocker, rather than at the point where the rocker contacts the valve stem. Friction may be reduced at the point of contact with the valve stem by a roller tip. A similar arrangement transfers the motion via another roller tip to a second rocker arm.
