  2. Tach timer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tach_Timer

    The tach timer is usually used to schedule engine maintenance, although it is just an approximation of "Time in service" which is used to time and schedule aircraft maintenance. Time in service is defined in 14 CFR 1.1 [ 2 ] as the actual time in the air, whereas tach time measures engine revolutions, which would still count time on the ground ...

    Ignition switch - Activates the magnetos by opening the grounding or 'p-lead' circuit; with the p-lead ungrounded the magneto is free to send its high-voltage output to the spark plugs. In most aircraft the ignition switch also applies power to the starter motor during engine start. In piston aircraft engines, the battery does not generate the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tachometer

    A tachometer (revolution-counter, tach, rev-counter, RPM gauge) is an instrument measuring the rotation speed of a shaft or disk, as in a motor or other machine. [1] The device usually displays the revolutions per minute (RPM) on a calibrated analogue dial, but digital displays are increasingly common.

    The most famous aftermarket electronic ignition which debuted in 1965, was the Delta Mark 10 capacitive discharge ignition, which was sold assembled or as a kit. The Fiat Dino was the first production car to come standard with EI in 1968, followed by the Jaguar XJ Series 1 [ 9 ] in 1971, Chrysler (after a 1971 trial) in 1973 and by Ford and GM ...

  6. Variable reluctance sensor - Wikipedia

    When the tooth is further away, the flux drops off. The moving target results in a time-varying flux that induces a proportional voltage in the coil. Subsequent electronics are then used to process this signal to get a waveform that can be more readily counted and timed. This system has been employed in automotive electronic ignition and ABS ...

  7. Ignition timing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignition_timing

    Pressure in cylinder pattern in dependence on ignition timing: (a) - misfire, (b) too soon, (c) optimal, (d) too late. In a spark ignition internal combustion engine, ignition timing is the timing, relative to the current piston position and crankshaft angle, of the release of a spark in the combustion chamber near the end of the compression stroke.

  8. Air core gauge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_core_gauge

    An auto tachometer has a sweep of about 240-250 degrees and typically uses an air core gauge. An air core gauge is a specific type of rotary actuator in an analog display gauge that allows an indicator to rotate a full 360 degrees. It is used in gauges and displays, most commonly automotive instrument clusters.

  9. Ignition switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignition_switch

    An ignition switch, starter switch or start switch is a switch in the control system of a motor vehicle that activates the main electrical systems for the vehicle, including "accessories" (radio, power windows, etc.).
