  2. Critical speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_speed

    Both calculate an approximation of the first natural frequency of vibration, which is assumed to be nearly equal to the critical speed of rotation. The Rayleigh–Ritz method is discussed here. For a shaft that is divided into n segments, the first natural frequency for a given beam, in rad/s , can be approximated as:

  3. Engine balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_balance

    The example locomotive is a simple, non-compound, type with two outside cylinders and valve gear, coupled driving wheels and a separate tender. Only basic balancing is covered with no mention of the effects of different cylinder arrangements, crank angles, etc. since balancing methods for three- and four-cylinder locomotives can be complicated ...

  4. Leadscrew - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leadscrew

    The running speed for a leadscrew (or ball screw) is typically limited to, at most, 80% of the calculated critical speed. The critical speed is the speed that excites the natural frequency of the screw. For a steel leadscrew or steel ballscrew, the critical speed is approximately [18] = where = critical speed in RPM

  5. Backlash (engineering) - Wikipedia

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

    Specialized gear designs allow this. One of the more common designs splits the gear into two gears, each half the thickness of the original. One half of the gear is fixed to its shaft while the other half of the gear is allowed to turn on the shaft, but pre-loaded in rotation by small coil springs that rotate the free gear relative to the fixed ...

  6. Cycloidal drive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cycloidal_drive

    A cycloidal drive or cycloidal speed reducer is a mechanism for reducing the speed of an input shaft by a certain ratio. Cycloidal speed reducers are capable of relatively high ratios in compact sizes with very low backlash. [1] The input shaft drives an eccentric bearing that in turn drives the cycloidal disc in an eccentric, cycloidal motion ...

  7. Compressor map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressor_map

    Low-speed rear-stage turbining [40] [41] occurs with excessive negative incidence leading to a pressure ratio less than one and the compressor stage absorbing power from the airflow. Two examples where crossing the surge line prevented accelerating to high speed occurred with the first designs of the Rolls-Royce Avon [ 42 ] and the IAE V2500 ...

  8. Rotordynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotordynamics

    The critical speed of a rotating machine occurs when the rotational speed matches its natural frequency. The lowest speed at which the natural frequency is first encountered is called the first critical speed, but as the speed increases, additional critical speeds are seen which are the multiples of the natural frequency.

  9. Mercedes-Benz 7G-Tronic transmission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes-Benz_7G-Tronic...

    In normal condition it sequentially shift gears, but if required it can skip some gears, that are: 7 to 5, 6 to 2, 5 to 3 and 3 to 1. [3]On vehicles with 6 or 8 cylinder engines with comfort mode engaged, as well as on off-road vehicles with low range selected, the transmission will always use 2nd gear as initial gear.
