  2. Strain wave gearing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strain_Wave_Gearing

    The flex spline fits tightly over the wave generator, so that when the wave generator plug is rotated, the flex spline deforms to the shape of a rotating ellipse and does not slip over the outer elliptical ring of the ball bearing. The ball bearing lets the flex spline rotate independently to the wave generator's shaft.

  3. Spline (mechanical) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spline_(mechanical)

    A spline is a ridge or tooth [1] [2] [3] on a drive shaft that matches with a groove in a mating piece and transfers torque to it, maintaining the angular correspondence between them. For instance, a gear mounted on a shaft might use a male spline on the shaft that matches the female spline on the gear.

  4. Rotation (aeronautics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation_(aeronautics)

    An Aeroflot Il-96 rotating.. In aviation, rotation refers to the action of applying back pressure to a control device, such as a yoke, side-stick or centre stick, to lift the nose wheel off the ground during takeoff.

  5. Rotation matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation_matrix

    Then rotate the given axis and the point such that the axis is aligned with one of the two coordinate axes for that particular coordinate plane (x, y or z) Use one of the fundamental rotation matrices to rotate the point depending on the coordinate axis with which the rotation axis is aligned.

  7. B-spline - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B-spline

    A B-spline function is a combination of flexible bands that is controlled by a number of points that are called control points, creating smooth curves. These functions are used to create and manage complex shapes and surfaces using a number of points. B-spline function and Bézier functions are applied extensively in shape optimization methods. [5]

  8. Key (engineering) - Wikipedia

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

    In mechanical engineering, a key is a machine element used to connect a rotating machine element to a shaft.The key prevents relative rotation between the two parts and may enable torque transmission.

  9. Axle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axle

    Splines on a front drive axle. An axle that is driven by the engine or prime mover is called a drive axle. Modern front-wheel drive cars typically combine the transmission (gearbox and differential) and front axle into a single unit called a transaxle. The drive axle is a split axle with a differential and universal joints between the two half ...
