  2. Ball screw - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball_screw

    The ball screw was invented independently by H.M. Stevenson and D. Glenn who were issued in 1898 patents 601,451 and 610,044 respectively. Early precise screwshafts were produced by starting with a low-precision screwshaft, and then lapping the shaft with several spring-loaded nut laps [citation needed].

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knob-and-tube_wiring

    [4] [citation needed] This direct routing method has the advantage of reduced cost by allowing use of the shortest possible lengths of wire, but the major disadvantage is that a detailed building wiring diagram is needed for other electricians to understand multiple interwoven circuits, especially if the wiring is not fully visible throughout ...

  4. Linear actuator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_actuator

    Threaded onto the lead screw is a lead nut or ball nut with corresponding helical threads. The nut is prevented from rotating with the lead screw (typically the nut interlocks with a non-rotating part of the actuator body). When the lead screw is rotated, the nut will be driven along the threads.

  5. Actuator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actuator

    Screw: Screw jack, ball screw and roller screw actuators all operate on the principle of the simple machine known as the screw. By rotating the actuator's nut, the screw shaft moves in a line. By rotating the actuator's nut, the screw shaft moves in a line.

    Hardware, e.g., screws, nuts, washers, also used for drilled holes: sometimes hardware is expanded to "HW" HY: Circulator or directional coupler: IR: Infrared diode: often changed to "D" for diode J: Jack (least-movable connector of a connector pair), jack connector (connector may have "male" pin contacts and/or "female" socket contacts)

  7. Wire wrap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wire_wrap

    Mechanical wire wrap tool Electrical wire wrap tool; pneumatic (air-powered) tools are also available. A "wire wrap tool" has two holes. The wire and 1 ⁄ 4 in (6.4 mm) of insulated wire are placed in a hole near the edge of the tool. The hole in the center of the tool is placed over the post.

  8. Screw mechanism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screw_mechanism

    Most screw threads are oriented so that when seen from above, the screw shaft moves away from the viewer (the screw is tightened) when turned in a clockwise direction. [ 21 ] [ 22 ] This is known as a right-handed ( RH ) thread, because it follows the right hand grip rule : when the fingers of the right hand are curled around the shaft in the ...

  9. Wiring diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiring_diagram

    An automotive wiring diagram, showing useful information such as crimp connection locations and wire colors. These details may not be so easily found on a more schematic drawing. A wiring diagram is a simplified conventional pictorial representation of an electrical circuit. It shows the components of the circuit as simplified shapes, and the ...
