2. Drive shaft - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drive_shaft

   A drive shaft, driveshaft, driving shaft, tailshaft (Australian English), propeller shaft (prop shaft), or Cardan shaft (after Girolamo Cardano) is a component for transmitting mechanical power, torque, and rotation, usually used to connect other components of a drivetrain that cannot be connected directly because of distance or the need to ...

3. Coupling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coupling

   A gear coupling. A gear coupling is a mechanical device for transmitting torque between two shafts that are not collinear. It consists of a flexible joint fixed to each shaft. The two joints are connected by a third shaft, called the spindle. Each joint consists of a 1:1 gear ratio internal–external gear pair.

4. Gear train - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gear_train

   A gear train or gear set is a machine element of a mechanical system formed by mounting two or more gears on a frame such that the teeth of the gears engage.. Gear teeth are designed to ensure the pitch circles of engaging gears roll on each other without slipping, providing a smooth transmission of rotation from one gear to the next. [2]

5. Magnetic coupling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_coupling

   Magnetic couplings are often synchronous, meaning the output shaft speed equals input shaft speed (a 1:1 ratio). [ according to whom? The first few gears in the geartrain of an Omega Megasonic wristwatch have no teeth; instead, magnetic north and south poles on neighboring gears act like the teeth and trough of spur gears , allowing each gear ...

6. Spline (mechanical) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spline_(mechanical)

   For instance, a gear mounted on a shaft might use a male spline on the shaft that matches the female spline on the gear. Adjacent images in the section below show a transmission input shaft with male splines and a clutch plate with mating female splines in the center hub, where the smooth tip of the axle would be supported in a pilot bearing in ...

7. Hydraulic motor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_motor

   Gear motor. A gear motor (external gear) consists of two gears, the driven gear (attached to the output shaft by way of a key, etc.) and the idler gear. High pressure oil is ported into one side of the gears, where it flows around the periphery of the gears, between the gear tips and the wall housings in which it resides, to the outlet port.

8. Shaft (mechanical engineering) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaft_(mechanical_engineering)

   In mechanical engineering, a shaft is a rotating machine element, usually circular in cross section, which is used to transmit power from one part to another, ...

9. Clutch - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clutch

   A clutch is a mechanical device that allows an output shaft to be disconnected from a rotating input shaft. [1] The clutch's input shaft is typically attached to a motor, while the clutch's output shaft is connected to the mechanism that does the work. In a motor vehicle, the clutch acts as a mechanical linkage between the engine and ...
