  2. Machine element - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_element

    [1] While generally not considered to be a machine element, the shape, texture and color of covers are an important part of a machine that provide a styling and operational interface between the mechanical components of a machine and its users. Machine elements are basic mechanical parts and features used as the building blocks of most machines ...

  3. Key (engineering) - Wikipedia

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

    For a key to function, the shaft and rotating machine element must have a keyway and a keyseat, which is a slot and pocket in which the key fits. The whole system is called a keyed joint. [1] [2] A keyed joint may allow relative axial movement between the parts. Commonly keyed components include gears, pulleys, couplings, and washers.

  4. Machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine

    A number of machine elements provide important structural functions such as the frame, bearings, splines, spring and seals. The recognition that the frame of a mechanism is an important machine element changed the name three-bar linkage into four-bar linkage. Frames are generally assembled from truss or beam elements.

  5. Mechanism (engineering) - Wikipedia

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

    This version of the kinematic diagram has proven effective in enumerating kinematic structures in the process of machine design. [ 1 ] An important consideration in this design process is the degree of freedom of the system of links and joints, which is determined using the Chebychev–Grübler–Kutzbach criterion .

  6. PKP Pecheneg machine gun - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PKP_Pecheneg_machine_gun

    It is a further development and modification of the PK machine gun (PKM). [10] It is said to be more accurate than all its predecessors due to a heavier, removable, partially forced-air -cooled barrel with radial cooling ribs and a handle which eliminates the haze effect from hot gases and keeps the barrel cooler, making the weapon more ...

  7. Simple machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_machine

    A simple machine is a mechanical device that changes the direction or magnitude of a force. [1] In general, they can be defined as the simplest mechanisms that use mechanical advantage (also called leverage) to multiply force. [2] Usually the term refers to the six classical simple machines that were defined by Renaissance scientists: [3] [4 ...

  8. Shaft (mechanical engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaft_(mechanical_engineering)

    The following stresses are induced in the shafts.. Shear stresses due to the transmission of torque (due to torsional load).; Bending stresses (tensile or compressive) due to the forces acting upon the machine elements like gears and pulleys as well as the self weight of the shaft.

  9. Glossary of engineering: M–Z - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_engineering:_M–Z

    [144] [145] [146] For example, if a 1 m × 1 m × 1 m solid cube of material has sheet contacts on two opposite faces, and the resistance between these contacts is 1 Ω, then the resistivity of the material is 1 Ω⋅m. Resistor is a passive two-terminal electrical component that implements electrical resistance as a circuit element.
