  2. Key (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_(engineering)

    Square keys are used for smaller shafts and rectangular faced keys are used for shaft diameters over 6.5 in (170 mm) or when the wall thickness of the mating hub is an issue. Set screws often accompany parallel keys to lock the mating parts into place. [3] The keyway is a longitudinal slot in both the shaft and mating part.

  3. Split pin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Split_pin

    The length L of the split pin is defined as the distance from the end of the shortest tine to the point of the eyelet that contacts the hole. The most common type of split pin is the extended prong with a square cut, but extended prongs are available with all of the other types of ends.

  4. Keyway - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyway

    Keyway may refer to: A part of a keyed joint used to connect a rotating machine element to a shaft; see key (engineering) A keyhole , a hole or aperture (as in a door or lock) for receiving a key; see lock and key

    For instance, a gear mounted on a shaft might use a male spline on the shaft that matches the female spline on the gear. Adjacent images in the section below show a transmission input shaft with male splines and a clutch plate with mating female splines in the center hub, where the smooth tip of the axle would be supported in a pilot bearing in ...

    Also, there are limits on the size of internal cuts. Common internal holes can range from 0.125 to 6 in (3.2 to 152.4 mm) in diameter but it is possible to achieve a range of 0.05 to 13 in (1.3 to 330.2 mm). Surface broaches' range is usually 0.075 to 10 in (1.9 to 254.0 mm), although the feasible range is 0.02 to 20 in (0.51 to 508.00 mm).

  7. Pinwheel calculator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinwheel_calculator

    A pinwheel calculator is a class of mechanical calculator described as early as 1685, and popular in the 19th and 20th century, calculating via wheels whose number of teeth were adjustable. These wheels, also called pinwheels, could be set by using a side lever which could expose anywhere from 0 to 9 teeth, and therefore when coupled to a ...

    When converting between module and DP there is an inverse relationship and normally a conversion between the two units of measure (inches and millimeter). Taking both of these into consideration the formulae for conversion are: MM = 25.4 / DP and DP = 25.4 / MM [3]

  9. Shaft (mechanical engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaft_(mechanical_engineering)

    The following stresses are induced in the shafts. Shear stresses due to the transmission of torque (due to torsional load). Bending stresses (tensile or compressive) due to the forces acting upon the machine elements like gears and pulleys as well as the self weight of the shaft. Stresses due to combined torsional and bending loads.
