  2. Centrifugal governor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_governor

    The devices shown are on steam engines. Power is supplied to the governor from the engine's output shaft by a belt or chain connected to the lower belt wheel. The governor is connected to a throttle valve that regulates the flow of working fluid (steam) supplying the prime mover. As the speed of the prime mover increases, the central spindle of ...

  3. Governor (device) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Governor_(device)

    A governor, or speed limiter or controller, is a device used to measure and regulate the speed of a machine, such as an engine.. A classic example is the centrifugal governor, also known as the Watt or fly-ball governor on a reciprocating steam engine, which uses the effect of inertial force on rotating weights driven by the machine output shaft to regulate its speed by altering the input flow ...

  4. Small engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_engine

    Most small engines use a governor to maintain a constant engine speed under varying loads. Some engines also have a mechanism for the user to adjust the engine speed. Rather than directly controlling the opening of the carburetor throttle, this is usually achieved by adjusting the governor, which in turn regulates the engine speed higher or lower.

  5. Overspeed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overspeed

    The overspeed governor is implemented on most marine diesel engines. [4] The governor is a safety measure that acts when the engine is approaching overspeed and will trip the engine off if the regulator governor fails. [4] It trips off the engine by cutting off fuel injection by having the centrifugal force act on levers linked to the governor ...

  6. Oil pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_pressure

    Murphy oil pressure gauges with switches that activate on low pressure. Oil pressure is an important factor in the longevity of most internal combustion engines. [1] With a forced lubrication system (invented by Frederick Lanchester), oil is picked up by a positive displacement oil pump and forced through oil galleries (passageways) into bearings, such as the main bearings, big end bearings ...

  7. Oilseed press - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oilseed_press

    An oilseed press is a machine that lies at the center of vegetable oil extraction. This is due to the fact that this technology is designed to release oil from oilseeds . Multiple oilseed press layouts have been developed over time to complete this process, with each having its own distinct set of advantages and disadvantages.

  8. Automatic lubrication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_lubrication

    The oil is contained in a reservoir that connects to a small oil pump in the engine, which needs to be periodically refilled. Oil injection pump on a Yamaha DX100- just behind the carburettor (visible on the left) It is the primary component of two-stroke automatic lubrication system. Amount of two-stroke oil injected by the pump depends on the ...

  9. Expeller pressing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expeller_pressing

    Expeller pressing (also called oil pressing) is a mechanical method for extracting oil from raw materials. The raw materials are squeezed under high pressure in a single step. When used for the extraction of food oils, typical raw materials are nuts, seeds and algae, which are supplied to the press in a continuous feed. As the raw material is ...
