Shaft alignment is the process of aligning two or more shafts with each other to within a tolerated margin. The resulting fault if alignment is not achieved within the demanded specifications is shaft misalignment, which may be offset or angular. Faults can lead to premature wear and damage to systems.
A swashplate consists of a disk attached to a shaft. If the disk were aligned perpendicular to the shaft, then rotating the shaft would merely turn the disk with no reciprocating (or swashplate) effect. But instead the disk is mounted at an oblique angle, which causes its edge to appear to describe a path that oscillates along the shaft's ...
The functions of this design are to change the axis of rotation by 90 degrees (from the propshaft to the half-shafts) and provide a reduction in the gear ratio. The components of the ring-and-pinion differential shown in the schematic diagram on the right are: 1. Output shafts 2. Drive gear 3. Output gears 4. Planetary gears 5. Carrier 6.
A driveshaft coupling. Note the split damage beginning to appear, likely due to the large axial displacement. A giubo. A giubo (/ ˈ dʒ uː b oʊ / JOO-boh; etymology: giunto Boschi, "Boschi joint"), also known as a 'flexdisc', and sometimes misspelled as guibo, is a flexible coupling used to transmit rotational torque between the drive shaft and the companion flange on mechanical devices ...
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 ...
A rocker arm and two types of links open the intake-valves by transferring the rotational movement of a drive shaft with an eccentric cam to the output cam. The movement of the output cam is varied by rotating the control shaft with a DC stepper motor and changing the fulcrums of the links. This makes the continuous adjustment of the amount of ...

Hirth joint made from anodized aluminum to show the meshing of the teeth Hirth joint (disassembled) between the semi-axles of a Campagnolo Ultra-Torque crankset. Face spline joints consist of a ring of radial splines or teeth milled or ground into the end faces of two rotary components such as a drive shaft and the hub of a wheel.
