  2. Engine configuration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_configuration

    1919 Napier Lion II aircraft engine with three cylinder banks. Any design of motor/engine,be it a V or a boxer can be called an "in-line" if it's mounted in-line with the frame/chassis and in-line with the direction of travel of the vehicle.When the motor/engine is across the frame/chassis this is called a TRANSVERSE motor.Cylinder arrangement is not in the description of how the motor/engine ...

  3. Pulley - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulley

    Sheave without a rope. A pulley is a wheel on an axle or shaft enabling a taut cable or belt passing over the wheel to move and change direction, or transfer power between itself and a shaft. A sheave or pulley wheel is a pulley using an axle supported by a frame or shell (block) to guide a cable or exert force.

  4. Eccentric (mechanism) - Wikipedia

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

    In mechanical engineering, an eccentric is a circular disk (eccentric sheave) solidly fixed to a rotating axle with its centre offset from that of the axle (hence the word "eccentric", out of the center). [1] It is used most often in steam engines, and used to convert rotary motion into linear reciprocating motion to drive a sliding valve or

  5. Exploded-view drawing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exploded-view_drawing

    An exploded-view drawing is a diagram, picture, schematic or technical drawing of an object, that shows the relationship or order of assembly of various parts. [1]It shows the components of an object slightly separated by distance, or suspended in surrounding space in the case of a three-dimensional exploded diagram.

  6. Centrifugal fan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_fan

    A set of sheaves is mounted on the motor shaft and the fan wheel shaft, and a belt transmits the mechanical energy from the motor to the fan. The fan wheel speed depends upon the ratio of the diameter of the motor sheave to the diameter of the fan wheel sheave. Fan wheel speeds in belt-driven fans are fixed unless the belt(s) slip.

  7. Line shaft - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_shaft

    Four wool spinning machines driven by belts from an overhead lineshaft (Leipzig, Germany, circa 1925) The belt drives of the Mueller Mill, model and reality, in motionA line shaft is a power-driven rotating shaft for power transmission that was used extensively from the Industrial Revolution until the early 20th century.

  8. Timing mark - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timing_mark

    A timing mark is an indicator used for setting the timing of the ignition system of an engine, typically found on the crankshaft pulley (as pictured) or the flywheel. [1] These have the largest radius rotating at crankshaft speed and therefore are the place where marks at one degree intervals will be farthest apart.
