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.
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.
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.
[3] A toothed rubber timing belt, also known as a synchronous belt, is a crucial component in an internal combustion engine. It is made of durable rubber and features teeth on its inner surface that mesh with corresponding grooves on the crankshaft and camshaft pulleys.
Broaching is a machining process that uses a toothed tool, called a broach, to remove material.There are two main types of broaching: linear and rotary.In linear broaching, which is the more common process, the broach is run linearly against a surface of the workpiece to produce the cut.
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.
Keys for some types of warded locks often have a characteristic symmetrical shape. The one on the right is a skeleton key. A warded lock (also called a ward lock) is a type of lock that uses a set of obstructions, or wards, to prevent the lock from opening unless the correct key is inserted.
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".
