2. Valve actuator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve_actuator

   Piston actuators use a piston which moves along the length of a cylinder. The piston rod conveys the force on the piston to the valve stem. Piston actuators allow higher pressures, longer travel ranges, and higher thrust forces than diaphragm actuators. A spring is used to provide defined behavior in the case of loss of power.

3. Crankshaft position sensor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crankshaft_position_sensor

   Typical inductive crankshaft position sensor. A crank sensor (CKP) [1] [2] [3] is an electronic device used in an internal combustion engine, both petrol and diesel, to monitor the position or rotational speed of the crankshaft.

4. Timing belt (camshaft) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timing_belt_(camshaft)

   In a piston engine, either a timing belt (also called a cambelt) or timing chain or set of timing gears is a perishable component used to synchronize the rotation of the crankshaft and the camshaft. This synchronisation ensures that the engine's valves open and close at the correct times in relation to the position of the pistons.

5. Angle seat piston valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angle_seat_piston_valve

   Cutaway diagram of an angle valve. An angle seat piston valve is a pneumatically-controlled valve with a piston actuator providing linear actuation to lift a seal off its seat. The seat is set at an angle to provide the maximum possible flow when unseated.

6. Master cylinder - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_cylinder

   The most common vehicle uses of master cylinders are in brake and clutch systems.. In brake systems, the operated devices are cylinders inside brake calipers and/or drum brakes; these cylinders may be called wheel cylinders or slave cylinders, and they push the brake pads towards a surface that rotates with the wheel (this surface is typically either a drum or a disc, a.k.a. a rotor) until the ...

7. Camless piston engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camless_piston_engine

   A camless or free-valve piston engine is an engine that has poppet valves operated by means of electromagnetic, hydraulic, or pneumatic [1] actuators instead of conventional cams. Actuators can be used to both open and close valves, or to open valves closed by springs or other means.

8. Chevrolet Stovebolt engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_Stovebolt_engine

   The Chevrolet Stovebolt engine is a straight-six engine made in two versions between 1929 and 1962 by the Chevrolet Division of General Motors.It replaced the company's 171-cubic-inch (2.8 L) inline-four as their sole engine offering from 1929 through 1954, and was the company's base engine starting in 1955 when it added the small block V8 to the lineup.

9. Pneumatic cylinder - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pneumatic_cylinder

   Through rod air cylinders: piston rod extends through both sides of the cylinder, allowing for equal forces and speeds on either side. Cushion end air cylinders: cylinders with regulated air exhaust to avoid impacts between the piston rod and the cylinder end cover. Rotary air cylinders: actuators that use air to impart a rotary motion.
