ARTICLES RELATED TO Wheel - Mechanics

Wheel - Mechanics: Encyclopedia - Wheel

A wheel is a circular object that, together with an axle, allows low friction in motion by rolling. Common examples are found in transport applications. More generally the term is also used for circular objects rotating for other purposes, such as a wheel and axle and a flywheel. Wheel - Mechanics. Wheels are used in conjunction with an axle, either the wheel turns on the axle or the wheel is rigidly attached to the axle which then turns in bearings in the body of the vehicle. The mechanics are the same in ...

Wheel - Mechanics: Encyclopedia II - Wheel - Mechanics Wheels are used in conjunction with an axle, either the wheel turns on the axle or the wheel is rigidly attached to the axle which then turns in bearings in the body of the vehicle. The mechanics are the same in either case. The low density of friction (compared to dragging) is explained as follows: the sliding distance is reduced, because the sliding takes place between the wheels and the axles or between the axles and the bearings the coefficient of kinetic friction μ for ...

Wheel - Mechanics: Encyclopedia - Balance wheel

The balance wheel is the part of a mechanical watch that facilitates even passage of time, analogous to a pendulum in a pendulum clock. The balance wheel rotates in both directions, and its movement is attenuated by the balance spring. As the wheel rotates back and forth the impulse jewel strikes the pallet fork, which in turn allows the escape wheel to advance. Since the mass of the balance wheel, and the spring coefficient of the balance spring are known, the amount of time between impacts of the impulse jewel and pallet fork is kno ...

Wheel - Mechanics: Encyclopedia - Wheel and axle

The wheel and axle is a simple machine. The wheel and axle consists of a handwheel (a disc or lever arm with a handle) which turns an axle around which a cord is wound. A heavy weight attached to the cord can be lifted more easily because of mechanical advantage. The wheel and axle can perhaps be considered as a first class lever, since its properties match those of a first class lever. See also. Gear ...

Wheel - Mechanics: Encyclopedia - Bogie

A bogie is a wheeled wagon or trolley. In mechanics, a bogie is a chassis or framework carrying wheels, attached to a vehicle. It can be fixed in place, as on a cargo truck, mounted on a swivel, as on a train carriage or locomotive, or sprung as in the suspension of a caterpillar tracked vehicle. Bogie - Railway cars. A bogie in the UK, or a wheel truck, or simply truck in the U.S., is a structure underneath a train to which wheel axles (and, hence, wheels) are attached through bearing ...

Wheel - Mechanics: Encyclopedia - Wheellock

Wheellock, Wheel-Lock or Wheel lock, is a mechanism for firing a firearm. It was the next major development in firearms technology after the matchlock and the first self-igniting firearm. The mechanism is so-called because it uses a rotating steel wheel to provide ignition. Developed around 1500, it was used along-side the matchlock and was later superseded by the snaphance (1560s) and the flintlock (c. 1600). Wheellock - Design. The design of the wheellock is comparable to that of a modern-da ...

Wheel - Mechanics: Encyclopedia - Double wishbone suspension

A double wishbone suspension is an automobile independent suspension design using two parallel wishbone-shaped arms to locate the wheel. Each wishbone (or arm) has two mounting positions to the chassis and one at the wheel hub. The shock absorber and coil spring mount to the wishbones to control vertical movement. Double-wishbone designs allow the engineer to carefully control the camber angle of the wheel, and are commonly used in sports cars. In mechanical engineering, it is also known as a short long arm, or SLA, suspension, if it has unequal length arms. A very similar arran ...

Wheel - Mechanics: Encyclopedia - Bearing mechanical

A bearing is a component used to reduce friction in a machine. Bearings may be classified broadly according to the motions they allow and according to their principle of operation. Bearing mechanical - Major types. Common motions include linear/axial and rotary/radial. A linear or thrust bearing allows motion along a straight line, for example a drawer being pulled out and pushed in. A rotary bearing allows motion about a center, such as a wheel on a shaft or a shaft through a housing. Common kinds of rotar ...

Wheel - Mechanics: Encyclopedia - Watermill

A watermill is a structure that uses a water wheel or turbine to drive a mechanical process such as flour or lumber production. A watermill that only generates electricity is more usually called a hydroelectric plant. The technology behind the watermill is somewhat older than that of the windmill. The ancient Greeks and Romans are known to have used the technology; the Romans used both fixed and floating water wheels and introduced water power to other countries of the Roman Empire. The Cistercian Order built huge mill complexe ...

Wheel - Mechanics: Encyclopedia - Gear

A gear is a toothed wheel designed to transmit torque to another gear or toothed component. The teeth (or cogs) of a gear are shaped to minimize wear, vibration and noise, and to maximize the efficiency of power transmission. Different-sized gears are often used in pairs for a mechanical advantage, allowing the torque of the driving gear to produce a larger torque in the driven gear at lower speed, or a smaller torque at higher speed. The larger gear is known as a wheel and the smaller as a pinion. This is the principle ...

Wheel - Mechanics: Encyclopedia - Crank

Crank may refer to: As a technical term: Crankshaft, the part of a piston engine which translates reciprocating linear piston motion into rotation Crankset, the component of a bicycle drivetrain that converts the reciprocating motion of the rider's legs into rotational motion used to drive the chain, which in turn drives the rear wheel Crank (mechanism), in mechanical engineering, a bent portion of an axle, or shaft, or an arm keyed at right angles to the end of a shaft, by which motion is ...

Wheel - Mechanics: Encyclopedia - Brake fluid

Brake fluid is a type of hydraulic fluid used in brake applications in automobiles and light trucks. It is used to transfer force under pressure from where it is created through hydraulic lines to the braking mechanism near the wheels. It works because liquids are not appreciably compressible. Braking applications produce a lot of heat so brake fluid must have a high boiling point to remain effective and must also not freeze under normal temperatures. These ...

Wheel - Mechanics: Encyclopedia - AC Cars

AC Cars Group Ltd. is a British specialist car manufacturing company and one of the oldest independent car marques in Britain. Based in Weybridge, Surrey (see also British motor industry). AC Cars - History. It began as Weller Brothers in West Norwood, London in 1903, who intended to produce an advanced 20hp car but as this looked economically unviable the companies financial backer John Portwine proposed a simpler 3 wheeled vehicle. Autocars and Acessories was founded to make this in 1904 and this company ...

Wheel - Mechanics: Encyclopedia - Two wheel drive

Two wheel drive or 2WD are terms used to describe vehicles with a drivetrain that allows two wheels to receive power from the engine simultaneously. Two wheel drive - Four-wheeled vehicles. For four-wheeled vehicles, this term is used to describe vehicles that are able to power at most two wheels, refered to as either front or rear wheel drive. The term 4x2 is also used, to denote four total wheels with two being driven. For vehicles that have part-time four wheel ...

Wheel - Mechanics: Encyclopedia - Ferris wheel

A Ferris wheel (or, more commonly in the UK, big wheel) is an amusement ride consisting of an upright wheel with passenger gondolas suspended from the rim. Ferris wheel - History. It is named after George Washington Gale Ferris, Jr., who designed a 75-meter (250-foot) wheel for the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, Illinois in 1893. It was designed as a rival to the Eiffel Tower, the centerpiece of the 1889 Paris exhibition. This first wheel weighed 2000 tonnes (2200 tons) and could carry 2,16 ...

Wheel - Mechanics: Encyclopedia II - Ferris wheel - Observation wheels

Some people consider Ferris wheels to be a distinct category from observation wheels, of which the London Eye is currently the largest example in the world. Although they are very similar, they differ in a some minor technical respects, most notably in that the passenger cars are not suspended from the wheel's circumference but are mounted on its exterior. This requires them to be stabilised mechanically, making observation wheels a more technica ...
