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

    For a key to function, the shaft and rotating machine element must have a keyway and a keyseat, which is a slot and pocket in which the key fits. The whole system is called a keyed joint . [ 1 ] [ 2 ] A keyed joint may allow relative axial movement between the parts.

  3. Roller chain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roller_chain

    Roller chain and sprocket The sketch of roller chain, Leonardo da Vinci, Codex Atlanticus. Roller chain or bush roller chain is the type of chain drive most commonly used for transmission of mechanical power on many kinds of domestic, industrial and agricultural machinery, including conveyors, wire- and tube-drawing machines, printing presses, cars, motorcycles, and bicycles.

  4. Chain drive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chain_drive

    One problem with roller chains is the variation in speed, or surging, caused by the acceleration and deceleration of the chain as it goes around the sprocket link by link. It starts as soon as the pitch line of the chain contacts the first tooth of the sprocket. This contact occurs at a point below the pitch circle of the sprocket.

    Clock diagram for the regular (>50 V) connector series, viewed looking in to the socket end. The extra-low voltage connector also supports keying, although in this case the angle is the position of the minor key, assuming the major key is at the 6h position (180°).

  6. Spline (mechanical) - Wikipedia

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

    A spline is a ridge or tooth [1] [2] [3] on a drive shaft that matches with a groove in a mating piece and transfers torque to it, maintaining the angular correspondence between them. For instance, a gear mounted on a shaft might use a male spline on the shaft that matches the female spline on the gear.

    Another such fix is "pinning" the cam sprocket, or inserting a pin in the sprocket to keep it aligned on the camshaft. Ford issued a TSB (TSB 03-14-1) prescribing the application of Loctite to the cam sprocket to lengthen the life of the camshafts, [ 7 ] but as SHO owners have experienced cam failure after the application of Loctite, [ 8 ] most ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interchangeable_core

    A six-pin interchangeable core with an 'A' keyway and individual chamber capping in an ANSI/BHMA 626 satin chrome finish. An interchangeable core or IC is an adaptable locking key cylinder, which can be rapidly exchanged in the field via the use of specialized "control keys".

  9. Sprag clutch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprag_clutch

    One-way bearing combining sprags and bearing rollers in one race Sprags jam when driven and slide when in reverse. A sprag clutch is a one-way freewheel clutch.It resembles a roller bearing but, instead of cylindrical rollers, non-revolving asymmetric figure-eight shaped sprags, or other elements allowing single direction rotation, are used.
