  2. Screw mechanism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screw_mechanism

    Most screw threads are oriented so that when seen from above, the screw shaft moves away from the viewer (the screw is tightened) when turned in a clockwise direction. [ 21 ] [ 22 ] This is known as a right-handed ( RH ) thread, because it follows the right hand grip rule : when the fingers of the right hand are curled around the shaft in the ...

  3. Cross slip - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross_Slip

    A screw dislocation may glide onto a different slip plane until it has passed the obstacle, and then can return to the primary slip plane. [2] Screw dislocations can then avoid obstacles through conservative motion (without requiring atomic diffusion), unlike edge dislocations which must climb to move around obstacles.

  4. Mechanical joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_joint

    This is mainly used to connect rigidly two rods which transmit motion in the axial direction, without rotation. These joints may be subjected to tensile or compressive forces along the axes of the rods. The very famous example is the joining of piston rod's extension with the connecting rod in the cross head assembly. Advantages:

  5. Turnbuckle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turnbuckle

    A turnbuckle, stretching screw or bottlescrew is a device for adjusting the tension or length of ropes, cables, tie rods, and other tensioning systems. It normally consists of two threaded eye bolts , one screwed into each end of a small metal frame, one with a conventional right-hand thread and the other with a left-hand thread.

  6. Differential screw - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_screw

    Many differential screw configurations are possible. The micrometer adjuster pictured uses a nut sleeve with different inner and outer thread pitches to connect a screw on the adjusting rod end with threads inside the main barrel; as the thimble rotates the nut sleeve, the rod and barrel move relative to each other based on the differential between the threads.

  7. Worm drive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worm_drive

    A worm drive is a gear arrangement in which a worm (which is a gear in the form of a screw) meshes with a worm wheel (which is similar in appearance to a spur gear). Its main purpose is to translate the motion of two perpendicular axes or to translate circular motion to linear motion (example: band type hose clamp ).The two elements are also ...

  9. Slider-crank linkage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slider-crank_linkage

    For example, for rod length 6" and crank radius 2", numerically solving the above equation finds the velocity minima (maximum downward speed) to be at crank angle of 73.17615° after TDC. Then, using the triangle sine law , it is found that the crank to connecting rod angle is 88.21738° and the connecting rod angle is 18.60647° from vertical ...
