  2. Automatic lathe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_lathe

    Brown & Sharpe Single Spindle screw machine. Model #2 Square Base, four-slide machine. 1 1 ⁄ 2 cap or 1 3 ⁄ 4 Air Feed.. Screw machines, being the class of automatic lathes for small- to medium-sized parts, are used in the high-volume manufacture of a vast variety of turned components.

  3. Hydraulic pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_pump

    Fluid flow in an external gear pump. A hydraulic pump is a mechanical source of power that converts mechanical power into hydraulic energy (hydrostatic energy i.e. flow, pressure). Hydraulic pumps are used in hydraulic drive systems and can be hydrostatic or hydrodynamic. They generate flow with enough power to overcome pressure induced by a ...

  4. Turret lathe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turret_lathe

    Christopher Spencer invented the first fully automated turret lathe in 1873, which led to designs using cam action or hydraulic mechanisms. [2] From the late-19th through mid-20th centuries, turret lathes, both manual and automatic (i.e., screw machines and chuckers), were one of the most important classes of machine tools for mass production ...

  5. Axial piston pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axial_piston_pump

    Cutaway side-view diagram of an axial piston pump 3-D rendering of an axial piston pump with the parts labeled Animation of an axial piston pump in operation. An axial piston pump has a number of pistons (usually an odd number) arranged in a circular array within a housing which is commonly referred to as a cylinder block, rotor or barrel.

  6. Hydraulic ram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_ram

    A hydraulic ram pump, ram pump, or hydram is a cyclic water pump powered by hydropower. It takes in water at one " hydraulic head " (pressure) and flow rate, and outputs water at a higher hydraulic head and lower flow rate.

  7. Backlash (engineering) - Wikipedia

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

    In mechanical engineering, backlash, sometimes called lash, play, or slop, is a clearance or lost motion in a mechanism caused by gaps between the parts. It can be defined as "the maximum distance or angle through which any part of a mechanical system may be moved in one direction without applying appreciable force or motion to the next part in mechanical sequence."

  8. Metal lathe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_lathe

    CNC lathe with milling capabilities An example turned vase and view of the tool turret. Computer numerical controlled (CNC) lathes are rapidly replacing the older production lathes (multispindle, etc.) due to their ease of set up, operation, repeatability and accuracy. A CNC Turning Lathe is a Computer Controlled piece of machinery.

  9. Archimedes' screw - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archimedes'_screw

    It is a reversible hydraulic machine that can be operated both as a pump or a power generator. As a machine used for lifting water from a low-lying body of water into irrigation ditches, water is lifted by turning a screw-shaped surface inside a pipe. In the modern world, Archimedes screw pumps are widely used in wastewater treatment plants and ...
