  2. Limited-slip differential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limited-slip_differential

    These systems are alternatives to a traditional limited-slip differential. The systems harness various chassis sensors such as speed sensors, anti-lock braking system (ABS) sensors, accelerometers, and microcomputers to electronically monitor wheel slip and vehicle motion. When the chassis control system determines a wheel is slipping, the ...

  3. Differential (mechanical device) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_(mechanical...

    Spur-gear differential. A spur-gear differential has equal-sized spur gears at each end, each of which is connected to an output shaft. [8] The input torque (i.e. from the engine or transmission) is applied to the differential via the rotating carrier. [8] Pinion pairs are located within the carrier and rotate freely on pins supported by the ...

  4. Motor–generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorgenerator

    The motorgenerator set may contain a large flywheel to improve its ride-through; however, consideration must be taken in this application as the motorgenerator will lose speed and may draw a large current when power returns or the circuit-breaker is re-closed. If the speed loss is excessive (the power outage is too long), the re-closure ...

  5. Accessory drive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accessory_drive

    Klimov TV3-117 turboshaft engine. The accessory drive is the large casting on the top. The accessory drive is a gearbox that forms part of a gas turbine engine. [1] Although not part of the engine's core, it drives the accessories – such as generators, pumps for fuel and lubrication oil, air compressors, hydraulic pumps and engine starters – that are otherwise essential for the operation ...

  6. Ward Leonard control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ward_Leonard_control

    The key feature of the Ward Leonard control system is the ability to smoothly vary the speed of a DC motor, including reversing it, by controlling the field and hence the output voltage of a DC generator, as well as the field of the motor itself. As the speed of a DC motor is dictated by the supplied voltage, this gives simple speed control ...

  7. Constant speed drive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constant_Speed_Drive

    Constant speed drive for Boeing 727, made by Sundstrand Corporation. A constant speed drive (CSD) also known as a constant speed generator, is a type of transmission that takes an input shaft rotating at a wide range of speeds, delivering this power to an output shaft that rotates at a constant speed, despite the varying input.

  8. Strain wave gearing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strain_Wave_Gearing

    Harmonic Drive SE strain wave gear set consisting of wave generator bearing (top left), flexspline cup (top right) and circular spline ring (bottom). Strain wave gearing (also known as harmonic gearing ) is a type of mechanical gear system that uses a flexible spline with external teeth, which is deformed by a rotating elliptical plug to engage ...

  9. Spur gear - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spur_gear

    Spur gears or straight-cut gears are the simplest type of gear. They consist of a cylinder or disk with teeth projecting radially. They consist of a cylinder or disk with teeth projecting radially. Viewing the gear at 90 degrees from the shaft length (side on) the tooth faces are straight and aligned parallel to the axis of rotation .
