  2. Eccentric (mechanism) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eccentric_(mechanism)

    Eccentric bottom bracket on a Burley tandem bicycle held in place with two set screws. The term is also used to refer to the device often used on tandem bicycles with timing chains, single-speed bicycles with a rear disc brake or an internal-geared hub, or any bicycle with vertical dropouts and no derailleur, to allow slight repositioning, fore and aft, of a bottom bracket to properly tension ...

  3. Balance shaft - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balance_shaft

    The balance shaft runs off the small gear on the left (the large gear is for the camshaft, causing it to rotate at half the speed of the crankshaft). Balance shafts are often used in inline-four engines , to reduce the second-order vibration (a vertical force oscillating at twice the engine RPM ) that is inherent in the design of a typical ...

  4. Scroll compressor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scroll_compressor

    An eccentric shaft can provide the orbital motion but the scroll must be prevented from rotating, typically with an Oldham-type coupling, additional eccentric idler shafts, or a bellows joint (particularly for high-purity applications). Another method for producing the compression motion is co-rotating the scrolls, in synchronous motion, but ...

  5. Mud motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mud_motor

    Normal mud motor construction consists of a top sub, which connects the mud motor to the drill string; the power section, which consists of the rotor and stator; the transmission section, where the eccentric power from the rotor is transmitted as concentric power to the bit using a constant-velocity joint; the bearing assembly which protects the tool from off bottom and on bottom pressures ...

  6. Radial piston pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radial_piston_pump

    The stroke of each piston is caused by an eccentric drive shaft or an external eccentric tappet (e.g., stroke ring). When filling the workspace of the pumping pistons from "inside" (e.g., over a hollow shaft) it is called an inside impinged (but outside braced) radial piston pump (picture 1).

  7. Wankel engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wankel_engine

    The inner shaft is a moving part with an eccentric lobe for the inner rotor to spin around. The rotor spins around its center and around the axis of the eccentric shaft in a hula hoop fashion, resulting in the rotor making one complete revolution for every three revolutions of the eccentric shaft.

  8. Engine balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_balance

    Unbalanced eccentric masses on a rotating component, such as an unbalanced flywheel Types of rotating plane imbalance are: Unbalanced masses along the axis of rotation of a rotating assembly causing a rocking couple, such as if the crankshaft of a boxer-twin engine did not include counterweights, the mass of the crank throws located 180° apart ...

  9. Main bearing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_bearing

    The number of main bearings is primarily determined by the overall load factor and maximum engine speed. [1] Increasing the number of bearings in an engine will generally increase the size and cost of the engine, but also reduces bending stress and deflection caused by the distance from the crank pins to the nearest bearings.
