  2. Self-steering gear - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-steering_gear

    Another version of wind vane self steering on sail boats is known as the vertical axis vane and usually, because of the inferior steering force output compared to servo pendulum devices it makes use of a trim tab hung off the rudder to control the course of the boat. The vane spins at right angles to the ground and can lock to the trim tab in ...

  3. Steering damper - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steering_damper

    The steering damper or steering stabiliser is a damping device designed to inhibit an undesirable, uncontrolled movement or oscillation of a vehicle steering mechanism, a phenomenon known in motorcycling as the death wobble. The stabilizer absorbs unwanted energy in the side to side motion allowing the forks and shocks to work properly.

  4. Types of press tools - Wikipedia

    The compound tool differs from progressive and stage tools by the arrangement of the punch and die. It is an inverted tool where blanking and piercing takes place in a single stage and also the blanking punch will act as the piercing die. That means punch will be to the bottom side of the tool and piercing punches to top side of the tool.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dashpot

    A less common type of dashpot is an eddy current damper, which uses a large magnet inside a tube constructed of a non-magnetic but conducting material (such as aluminium or copper). Like a common viscous damper, the eddy current damper produces a resistive force proportional to velocity. A common use of the eddy current damper is in balance scales.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yaw_system

    The yaw bearing system aligns the blades to the wind. It consists of the ring gear, yaw motor and the yaw bearing clamp assemblies . [2] The yaw bearing can be of the roller or gliding type and it serves as a rotatable connection between the tower and the nacelle of the wind turbine.

  7. Ball joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball_joint

    In an automobile, ball joints are spherical bearings that connect the control arms to the steering knuckles, and are used on virtually every automobile made. [1] They bionically resemble the ball-and-socket joints found in most tetrapod animals. [2] A ball joint consists of a bearing stud and socket enclosed in a casing; all these parts are ...
