  2. Rotary combination lock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_combination_lock

    Further rotation of the dial moves the lever, retracting the locking mechanism and opening the lock. When the cams are aligned and the shackle is put back in (after it was taken out after unlocking), the force required to push it back in rattles the system and may often cause the cams lose their alignment, thus locking once more.

  3. Tidal locking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tidal_locking

    Here, the ratio of the rotation period of a body to its own orbital period is some simple fraction different from 1:1. A well known case is the rotation of Mercury, which is locked to its own orbit around the Sun in a 3:2 resonance. [2] This results in the rotation speed roughly matching the orbital speed around perihelion. [14]

  4. Geneva drive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geneva_drive

    The Geneva drive or Geneva mechanism is a gear mechanism that translates a continuous rotation movement into intermittent rotary motion. The rotating drive wheel is usually equipped with a pin that reaches into a slot located in the other wheel (driven wheel) that advances it by one step at a time. The drive wheel also has an elevated circular ...

  5. Gimbal lock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gimbal_lock

    Gimbal lock is the loss of one degree of freedom in a multi-dimensional mechanism at certain alignments of the axes. In a three-dimensional three-gimbal mechanism, gimbal lock occurs when the axes of two of the gimbals are driven into a parallel configuration, "locking" the system into rotation in a degenerate two-dimensional space.

  6. Swashplate (aeronautics) - Wikipedia

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

    An anti-rotation link prevents the inner swash from rotating independently of the blades, which would apply torque to the actuators. The outer swashplate typically has an anti-rotation slider as well to prevent it from rotating. Both swashplates tilt up and down as one unit. The rotating swashplate is connected to the pitch horns by the pitch ...

  9. Rotating reference frame - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotating_reference_frame

    In classical mechanics, centrifugal force is an outward force associated with rotation.Centrifugal force is one of several so-called pseudo-forces (also known as inertial forces), so named because, unlike real forces, they do not originate in interactions with other bodies situated in the environment of the particle upon which they act.
