  2. Birmingham gauge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birmingham_gauge

    The Birmingham gauge ranges from 5/0 or 00000, the lowest gauge number corresponding to the largest size of 0.500 inches (12.7 mm), to 36, the highest gauge number corresponding to the smallest size of 0.004 inches (0.10 mm).

  3. Torque multiplier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torque_multiplier

    Torque multipliers only have a fraction of the final torque pressure on the drive tool making them a safer choice. Torque multipliers typically employ an epicyclic gear train having one or more stages. Each stage of gearing multiplies the torque applied. In epicyclic gear systems, torque is applied to the input gear or ‘sun’ gear. A number ...

  4. Needle roller bearing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Needle_roller_bearing

    A needle roller bearing. A needle roller bearing is a special type of roller bearing which uses long, thin cylindrical rollers resembling needles. Ordinary roller bearings' rollers are only slightly longer than their diameter, but needle bearings typically have rollers that are at least four times longer than their diameter. [1]

  5. Fluid bearing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_bearing

    Such bearings should be equipped with the shaft position control system, which adjusts the fluid pressure and consumption according to the rotation speed and shaft load. [4] In fluid-dynamic bearings, the bearing rotation sucks the fluid on to the inner surface of the bearing, forming a lubricating wedge under or around the shaft.

  6. Genius (mathematics software) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genius_(mathematics_software)

    Genius is aimed at mathematical experimentation rather than computationally intensive tasks. It is also very useful as just a calculator. The programming language is called GEL and aims to have a mathematically friendly syntax. The software comes with a command-line interface and a GUI, which uses the GTK+ libraries. The graphical version ...

  7. Software calculator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_calculator

    GNOME Calculator, a software calculator. A software calculator is a calculator that has been implemented as a computer program, rather than as a physical hardware device. They are among the simpler interactive software tools, and, as such, they provide operations for the user to select one at a time. They can be used to perform any process that ...

  8. Torrington Company - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torrington_Company

    In the 1930s, a research engineer named Edmund K. Brown invented a new kind of needle bearing, which eventually became the majority of the company's business. [3] After World War II , in which the US had a large need for needle bearings for military aircraft like B-29 bombers , the production of bearings became the company's central product line.

  9. Effective torque - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effective_torque

    Effective torque (often referred to as wheel torque or torque to the wheels) is a concept primarily associated with automotive tuning. Torque can be measured using a dynamometer. Common units used in automotive applications can include foot-pounds and Newton·meters. [1] The formula for effective torque to the wheels is: [2] Tw = Te * N tf * η ...
