Rotordynamics (or rotor dynamics) is a specialized branch of applied mechanics concerned with the behavior and diagnosis of rotating structures. It is commonly used to analyze the behavior of structures ranging from jet engines and steam turbines to auto engines and computer disk storage.
Condition monitoring techniques are normally used on rotating equipment, auxiliary systems and other machinery like belt-driven equipment, (compressors, pumps, electric motors, internal combustion engines, presses), while periodic inspection using non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques and fit for service (FFS) [1] evaluation are used for ...
Balancing machine – a measuring tool used for balancing rotating machine parts such as rotors for electric motors, fans, turbines, disc brakes, disc drives, propellers and pumps. Ball detent – a simple mechanical arrangement used to hold a moving part in a temporarily fixed position relative to another part. Usually the moving parts slide ...
By rotating the actuator's nut, the screw shaft moves in a line. By moving the screw shaft, the nut rotates. Wheel and axle : Hoist , winch , rack and pinion , chain drive , belt drive , rigid chain and rigid belt actuators operate on the principle of the wheel and axle.
[7] [8] Rather than rotate a central screw blade, a stationary screw is contained within a rotating casing that scoops surrounding material into its base. [9] Following similar principles to the conventional screw conveyor, the Olds elevator can lift bulk materials efficiently. Since its invention, it has been assessed as a viable system for ...
Mechanical television or mechanical scan television is an obsolete television system that relies on a mechanical scanning device, such as a rotating disk with holes in it or a rotating mirror drum, to scan the scene and generate the video signal, and a similar mechanical device at the receiver to display the picture.
In mechanical engineering, a shaft is a rotating machine element, usually circular in cross section, which is used to transmit power from one part to another, or from a machine which produces power to a machine which absorbs power.
