  2. Spinning wheel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinning_wheel

    The double drive wheel is named after its drive band, which goes around the spinning wheel twice. The drive band turns the flyer, which is the horse-shoe shaped piece of wood surrounding the bobbin, as well as the bobbin. Due to a difference in the size of the whorls (the round pieces or pulleys around which the drive band runs) the bobbin ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tape_transport

    Threaded tape of an open Compact Cassette in the tape drive. The capstan is a rotating spindle used to move recording tape through the mechanism of a tape recorder.The tape is threaded between the capstan and one or more rubber-covered wheels, called pinch rollers, which press against the capstan, thus providing friction necessary for the capstan to pull the tape.

  4. Axle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axle

    The front drive axle is providing the force to drive the truck. In fact, only one wheel of that axle is actually moving the truck and trailer down the road. Some simple vehicle designs, such as leisure go-karts, may have a single driven wheel where the drive axle is a split axle with only one of the two shafts driven by the engine, or else have ...

  7. Wheel and axle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheel_and_axle

    As the wheel and axle system rotates around its bearings, points on the circumference, or edge, of the wheel move faster than points on the circumference, or edge, of the axle. Therefore, a force applied to the edge of the wheel must be less than the force applied to the edge of the axle, because power is the product of force and velocity.

  8. Idler-wheel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idler-wheel

    Since the drive sprocket can be at either the front (many WWII tanks like the M4 Sherman) or the rear (most modern tanks like the T-90) of the vehicle depending on the design, the idler wheel either carries the track back off the ground and returns it to the drive sprocket (rear idler wheel), or receives track from the drive sprocket and lays ...

    A Mecanum wheel is an omnidirectional wheel design for a land-based vehicle to move in any direction. It is sometimes called the Swedish wheel or Ilon wheel after its inventor, Bengt Erland Ilon (1923–2008), [ 1 ] who conceived of the concept while working as an engineer with the Swedish company Mecanum AB, and patented it in the United ...
