  2. Brake fade - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_fade

    Brake fade and rotor warping can be reduced through proper braking technique; when running down a long downgrade that would require braking simply select a lower gear (this is required for many trucks on steep grades in the U.S.). Also, periodic, rather than continuous application of the brakes will allow them to cool between applications.

  3. Torsional vibration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torsional_vibration

    Torsional vibration is a concern in the crankshafts of internal combustion engines because it could break the crankshaft itself; shear-off the flywheel; or cause driven belts, gears and attached components to fail, especially when the frequency of the vibration matches the torsional resonant frequency of the crankshaft.

  4. Magnetic gear - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_Gear

    The gear ratio between the rotors is the number of magnetic pole pairs on the high-speed rotor to the number of magnetic pole pairs on the low-speed rotor. Since the number of pole pairs is twice the number of magnets, there must be an even number of magnets on both rotors. The ferromagnetic stator allows for two alternative modes.

  5. Disc brake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disc_brake

    On automobiles, disc brakes are often located within the wheel A drilled motorcycle brake disc. The development of disc-type brakes began in England in the 1890s. In 1902, the Lanchester Motor Company designed brakes that looked and operated similarly to a modern disc-brake system even though the disc was thin and a cable activated the brake pad. [4]

  6. Retarder (mechanical engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retarder_(mechanical...

    The opposing magnetic fields slows the rotor, and hence the axle, transmission or driveshaft to which it is attached. The rotor incorporates internal vanes (like a ventilated brake disk) to provide its own air cooling, so no load is placed on the vehicle's engine cooling system. The operation of the system is extremely quiet.

  7. Non-synchronous transmission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-synchronous_transmission

    Three-speed sliding-gear non-synchronous transmission Non-synchronous "crash" gearbox; commonly used today in semi-trucks and tractors, and formerly used in automobiles pre-1950s. A non-synchronous transmission, also called a crash gearbox, is a form of manual transmission based on gears that do not use synchronizing mechanisms. They require ...

  8. Sprag clutch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprag_clutch

    One-way bearing combining sprags and bearing rollers in one race Sprags jam when driven and slide when in reverse. A sprag clutch is a one-way freewheel clutch.It resembles a roller bearing but, instead of cylindrical rollers, non-revolving asymmetric figure-eight shaped sprags, or other elements allowing single direction rotation, are used.

  9. GM Roto Hydramatic transmission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../GM_Roto_Hydramatic_transmission

    Owners discovered that it was also less durable than Hydramatic, and was prone to various mechanical problems. The Roto Hydramatic was phased out after the 1964 model year in favor of the two-speed Super Turbine 300 and three-speed Turbo-Hydramatic. As with previous Hydramatic transmissions, auto safety experts criticized GM for the Hydramatic ...
