    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. 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.

    Diagram of an epicyclic gearing system An epicyclic differential uses epicyclic gearing to send certain proportions of torque to the front axle and the rear axle in an all-wheel drive vehicle. [ citation needed ] An advantage of the epicyclic design is its relatively compact width (when viewed along the axis of its input shaft).

    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 ...
