    Terraria (/ t ə ˈ r ɛər i ə / ⓘ tə-RAIR-ee-ə [1]) is a 2011 action-adventure sandbox game developed by Re-Logic. The game was first released for Windows and has since been ported to other PC and console platforms.

  3. Control rod - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_rod

    Control rod assembly for a pressurized water reactor, above fuel element Control rods are used in nuclear reactors to control the rate of fission of the nuclear fuel – uranium or plutonium . Their compositions include chemical elements such as boron , cadmium , silver , hafnium , or indium , that are capable of absorbing many neutrons without ...

  4. Hydraulic cylinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_cylinder

    Tie rod style hydraulic cylinders use high strength threaded steel rods to hold the two end caps to the cylinder barrel. They are most often seen in industrial factory applications. Small-bore cylinders usually have 4 tie rods, and large bore cylinders may require as many as 16 or 20 tie rods in order to retain the end caps under the tremendous ...

  5. Parking pawl - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parking_pawl

    The main components of a parking pawl mechanism are the parking gear, parking pawl, actuator rod, cam collar, cam plate, pivot pin, and parking pawl return spring. The mechanism assembly is designed so that the parking pawl tooth collides and overrides the parking gear teeth (ratchets) until a safe engagement speed for the vehicle is reached.

  6. Position-sensing hydraulic cylinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Position-sensing_hydraulic...

    External linear displacement transducers (LDTs) eliminate the need for a hollow hydraulic cylinder rod. Instead, an external sensing “bar” utilizing Hall-Effect technology senses the position of the hydraulic cylinder piston.

  7. Solenoid (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solenoid_(engineering)

    Two rotary actuators on opposite ends of the rotary snap-switch shaft, can advance or reverse the switch position. The rotary solenoid has a similar appearance to a linear solenoid, except that the armature core is mounted in the center of a large flat disk, with three inclined raceways coined into the underside of the disk.

  8. Rotary actuator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_actuator

    A rotary actuator is an actuator that produces a rotary motion or torque. The simplest actuator is purely mechanical, where linear motion in one direction gives rise to rotation. The most common actuators are electrically powered; others may be powered pneumatically or hydraulically , or use energy stored in springs .

  9. Valve actuator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve_actuator

    A rod is connected to the center of the diaphragm so that it moves as the pressure is applied. The rod is then connected to a valve stem which allows the valve to experience the linear motion thereby opening or closing. A diaphragm actuator is useful if the supply pressure is moderate and the valve travel and thrust required are low.
