Rotating bolts are found in delayed blowback, gas-operated, recoil-operated, bolt action, lever-action, and pump-action weapon designs. In some forms of delayed blowback, the rotating bolt is used as the delay mechanism: the bolt head rotates as the firing pin strikes, locking the chamber until the gas pressure reaches a safe level to extract.
The input torque (i.e. from the engine or transmission) is applied to the differential via the rotating carrier. [8] Pinion pairs are located within the carrier and rotate freely on pins supported by the carrier. The pinion pairs only mesh for the part of their length between the two spur gears, and rotate in opposite directions.
Many differential screw configurations are possible. The micrometer adjuster pictured uses a nut sleeve with different inner and outer thread pitches to connect a screw on the adjusting rod end with threads inside the main barrel; as the thimble rotates the nut sleeve, the rod and barrel move relative to each other based on the differential between the threads.
The parking pawl locks the transmission's output shaft to the transmission casing by engaging a pawl (a pin) that engages in a notched wheel on the shaft, stopping it (and thus the driven wheels) from rotating. The main components of a parking pawl mechanism are the parking gear, parking pawl, actuator rod, cam collar, cam plate, pivot pin, and ...
The most famous American passenger car application of the torsion bar, was the Chrysler system used beginning with all Chrysler products starting with the 1957 model year in cars such as the Imperial Crown series, Chrysler Windsor, DeSoto Firedome, Dodge Coronet and Plymouth Belevedere although Chrysler's "Torsion-Air" suspension was only for ...
A ball joint is used for allowing free rotation in two planes at the same time while preventing translation in any direction, [1] including rotating in those planes. Combining two such joints with control arms enables motion in all three planes, allowing the front end of an automobile to be steered and a spring and shock (damper) suspension to ...
An improvised flexible coupling made of car tyre pieces connects the drive shafts of an engine and a water pump. This one is used to cancel out misalignment and dampen vibrations. Rotating coupling. A coupling is a device used to connect two shafts together at their ends for the purpose of transmitting power. The primary purpose of couplings is ...
The Geneva drive is also called a "Maltese cross mechanism" due to the visual resemblance when the rotating wheel has four spokes. In the most common arrangement of the Geneva drive, the client wheel has four slots and thus advances the drive by one step at a time (each step being 90 degrees ) for each full rotation of the master wheel.
