  2. Spring pin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spring_pin

    A spring pin (also called tension pin or roll pin) is a mechanical fastener that secures the position of two or more parts of a machine relative to each other. Spring pins have a body diameter which is larger than the diameter of the hole they are intended for, and a chamfer on either one or both ends to facilitate starting the pin into the hole.

  3. Quick release skewer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quick_release_skewer

    Additionally, the introduction of disc brakes has caused increased vulnerability of the front axle and skewer, due to the disc brake applying an ejection force that tends to pull the axle out of the fork. [1] The quick-release levers are usually on the left side of the bike, though some prefer to have them on the right if a disc brake is on the ...

  4. Kinematic diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinematic_diagram

    In mechanical engineering, a kinematic diagram or kinematic scheme (also called a joint map or skeleton diagram) illustrates the connectivity of links and joints of a mechanism or machine rather than the dimensions or shape of the parts. Often links are presented as geometric objects, such as lines, triangles or squares, that support schematic ...

  5. Pin-pallet escapement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pin-pallet_escapement

    The GIF is slowed down to make the mechanism movement easier to see. A Roskopf , pin-lever , or pin-pallet escapement is an inexpensive, less accurate version of the lever escapement , used in mechanical alarm clocks , kitchen timers , mantel clocks and, until the 1970s, cheap watches now known as pin lever watches .

  6. Parking pawl - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parking_pawl

    The main components of a parking pawl mechanism are the parking gear, parking pawl, actuator rod, cam collar, cam plate, pivot pin, and parking pawl return spring. The mechanism assembly is designed so that the parking pawl tooth collides and overrides the parking gear teeth (ratchets) until a safe engagement speed for the vehicle is reached.

  7. Four-bar linkage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-bar_linkage

    Generally, the joints are configured so the links move in parallel planes, and the assembly is called a planar four-bar linkage. Spherical and spatial four-bar linkages also exist and are used in practice. [1] A pumpjack's main mechanism is a four-bar linkage

  8. Linkage (mechanical) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linkage_(mechanical)

    A mechanical linkage is an assembly of systems connected so as to manage forces and movement. The movement of a body, or link, is studied using geometry so the link is considered to be rigid. [1] The connections between links are modeled as providing ideal movement, pure rotation or sliding for example, and are called joints.

  9. Chuck (engineering) - Wikipedia

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

    A pin chuck is a specialized chuck designed to hold small drills (less than 1 mm (0.039 in) in diameter) that could not be held securely in a normal drill chuck. The drill is inserted into the pin chuck and tightened; the pin chuck has a shaft which is then inserted into the larger drill chuck to hold the drill securely.
