  2. Eccentric (mechanism) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eccentric_(mechanism)

    Eccentric bottom bracket on a Burley tandem bicycle held in place with two set screws. The term is also used to refer to the device often used on tandem bicycles with timing chains, single-speed bicycles with a rear disc brake or an internal-geared hub, or any bicycle with vertical dropouts and no derailleur, to allow slight repositioning, fore and aft, of a bottom bracket to properly tension ...

  3. Cam (mechanism) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cam_(mechanism)

    A simple displacement diagram illustrates the follower motion at a constant velocity rise followed by a similar return with a dwell in between as depicted in figure 2. [4] The rise is the motion of the follower away from the cam center, dwell is the motion where the follower is at rest, and return is the motion of the follower toward the cam ...

  4. Wankel engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wankel_engine

    The inner shaft is a moving part with an eccentric lobe for the inner rotor to spin around. The rotor spins around its center and around the axis of the eccentric shaft in a hula hoop fashion, resulting in the rotor making one complete revolution for every three revolutions of the eccentric shaft.

  5. Valvetronic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valvetronic

    The eccentric shaft, whose position is controlled by the DME using an electric motor, rotates through a range of 225 degrees to push the intermediate arm towards, or away from, the camshaft. For lesser lift, the eccentric shaft moves the intermediate arm away from the camshaft, so that lesser of the camshaft profile is pressing on the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_drawing

    The assembly drawing gives the drawing numbers of the subsequent detailed components, quantities required, construction materials and possibly 3D images that can be used to locate individual items. Although mostly consisting of pictographic representations, abbreviations and symbols are used for brevity and additional textual explanations may ...

  7. Bearing (mechanical) - Wikipedia

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

    A ball bearing. A bearing is a machine element that constrains relative motion to only the desired motion and reduces friction between moving parts.The design of the bearing may, for example, provide for free linear movement of the moving part or for free rotation around a fixed axis; or, it may prevent a motion by controlling the vectors of normal forces that bear on the moving parts.

  8. Cycloidal drive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cycloidal_drive

    The input shaft drives an eccentric bearing that in turn drives the cycloidal disc in an eccentric, cycloidal motion. The perimeter of this disc is geared to a stationary ring gear and has a series of output shaft pins or rollers placed through the face of the disc. These output shaft pins directly drive the output shaft as the cycloidal disc ...

  9. Shaft (mechanical engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaft_(mechanical_engineering)

    In mechanical engineering, a shaft is a rotating machine element, usually circular in cross section, which is used to transmit power from one part to another, or from a machine which produces power to a machine which absorbs power.
