  2. Belleville washer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belleville_washer

    The load applied to the reduced-thickness spring to obtain a deflection equal to the 75% of the free height (of an unreduced spring) must be the same as for an unreduced spring. As the overall height is not reduced, springs with reduced thickness inevitably have an increased flank angle and a greater cone height than springs of the same nominal ...

  3. Balance spring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balance_spring

    A regulator lever is often fitted, which can be used to alter the free length of the spring and thereby adjust the rate of the timepiece. The balance spring is a fine spiral or helical torsion spring used in mechanical watches , alarm clocks , kitchen timers , marine chronometers , and other timekeeping mechanisms to control the rate of ...

  4. Collet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collet

    Most often the collet is made of spring steel, with one or more kerf cuts along its length to allow it to expand and contract. This type of collet holds the external surface of the tool or workpiece being clamped. This is the most usual type of collet chuck. An external collet clamps against the internal surface or bore of a hollow cylinder.

  5. Spring (device) - Wikipedia

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

    Simplified LaCoste suspension using a zero-length spring Spring length L vs force F graph of ordinary (+), zero-length (0) and negative-length (−) springs with the same minimum length L 0 and spring constant. Zero-length spring is a term for a specially designed coil spring that would exert zero force if it had zero length. That is, in a line ...

  6. Wrench size - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wrench_size

    The tolerances necessary to make the tools usable are listed in documents like ASME/ANSI B18.2.2 for U.S. standards. [1] For instance, a bolt for a 1-inch nominal diameter thread might have flats that are 1.5 inches apart.

  7. Torque wrench - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torque_wrench

    A click torque wrench. A torque wrench is a tool used to apply a specific torque to a fastener such as a nut, bolt, or lag screw.It is usually in the form of a socket wrench with an indicating scale, or an internal mechanism which will indicate (as by 'clicking', a specific movement of the tool handle in relation to the tool head) when a specified (adjustable) torque value has been reached ...

  8. Backlash (engineering) - Wikipedia

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

    In mechanical engineering, backlash, sometimes called lash, play, or slop, is a clearance or lost motion in a mechanism caused by gaps between the parts. It can be defined as "the maximum distance or angle through which any part of a mechanical system may be moved in one direction without applying appreciable force or motion to the next part in mechanical sequence."

  9. Bore gauge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bore_gauge

    The length range of the stem depends upon the width of the part. If you want to measure the diameter set the gauges required diameter with master. [ clarify ] In order to measure the diameter of the bore, place the beam at one end and slide the other end on the diameter and watch the dial indicator.
