  2. DW-link - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DW-link

    The DW-link uses anti-squat to eliminate "suspension bob." Squat is defined as the tendency of rear suspension to compress under acceleration. The anti-squat used in the DW-link system is achieved by a minimisation of torque about the centre of mass. The DW-link system has also been designed to minimise pedal feedback caused by suspension travel.

  3. Helicopter flight controls - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helicopter_flight_controls

    The pedals serve the same function in both a helicopter and an airplane, to maintain balanced flight. This is done by applying a pedal input in the direction necessary to center the ball in the turn and bank indicator. Forward flight in a helicopter has limitations different from a fixed-wing aircraft.

  4. Bicycle drivetrain systems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_drivetrain_systems

    A chain drive and rear derailleur gear change, the most popular system in use today A shaft-drive with crankset and rear gear hub. Bicycle drivetrain systems are used to transmit power on bicycles, tricycles, quadracycles, unicycles, or other human-powered vehicles from the riders to the drive wheels.

  5. Double-clutching (technique) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-clutching_(technique)

    Before the introduction of transmission synchronizers in 1927, [2] double clutching was a technique required to prevent damage to an automobile's gearing during shifts. Due to the difficulty and most often unnecessary redundancy involved in the technique, coupled with the advent of synchronized gearing systems, it has largely fallen into disuse in light vehicles.

  6. Heel-and-toe shifting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heel-and-toe_shifting

    Synchronized downshift rev-matching system (SynchroRev Match) is a technology invented by Nissan for use on the Nissan 370Z.In combination with the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) and various sensors, the engine electronically blips the throttle for the driver during both downshifts and upshifts to allow for better and smoother shifting, and improved handling.

  7. Ackermann steering geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ackermann_steering_geometry

    A linkage between these hubs pivots the two wheels together, and by careful arrangement of the linkage dimensions the Ackermann geometry could be approximated. This was achieved by making the linkage not a simple parallelogram, but by making the length of the track rod (the moving link between the hubs) shorter than that of the axle, so that ...

  8. Combined braking system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combined_braking_system

    BMW Motorrad uses a system called Integral ABS, in which the front brake lever operates both the front and rear brakes, while the brake pedal operates only the rear brake. [10] In the inverse, Honda's system that features both combined brakes and anti-lock brakes is dubbed Combined ABS. In this system, the rear brake pedal operates both front ...

  9. Parallelogram steering linkage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallelogram_steering_linkage

    A parallelogram steering linkage is called such because like its namesake, the two sides of the linkage run parallel to each other and are equal in distance. This type of steering linkage uses four tie rods, one inner and one outer on each side (left and right) that are connected by an adjustment sleeve, a center link (which runs between the tie rods), an idler arm on the passenger side, and a ...
