  2. Key (engineering) - Wikipedia

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

    Square keys are used for smaller shafts and rectangular faced keys are used for shaft diameters over 6.5 in (170 mm) or when the wall thickness of the mating hub is an issue. Set screws often accompany parallel keys to lock the mating parts into place. [3] The keyway is a longitudinal slot in both the shaft and mating part.

  4. Coupling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coupling

    An improvised flexible coupling made of car tyre pieces connects the drive shafts of an engine and a water pump. This one is used to cancel out misalignment and dampen vibrations. Rotating coupling. A coupling is a device used to connect two shafts together at their ends for the purpose of transmitting power. The primary purpose of couplings is ...

    The wedges grip an area of 75 mm 2 (0.116 sq in) and the shank is inserted 40 mm into the chuck. SDS-top A 14 mm shank similar to SDS-plus, designed for hammers from 2 to 5 kg. The grip area is increased to 212 mm 2 (0.329 sq in) and the shank is inserted 70 mm. This size remained uncommon and was discontinued in 2009. [5] SDS-max

  6. Spline (mechanical) - Wikipedia

    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. Key relevance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_relevance

    The difference in size between the original key (blue) and its copy (red) is 0.023mm, an accuracy of 0.61%. This is an acceptable level of tolerance. In master locksmithing , key relevance is the measurable difference between an original key and a copy made of that key, either from a wax impression or directly from the original, and how similar ...

  8. Shaft (mechanical engineering) - Wikipedia

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

    The following stresses are induced in the shafts. Shear stresses due to the transmission of torque (due to torsional load). Bending stresses (tensile or compressive) due to the forces acting upon the machine elements like gears and pulleys as well as the self weight of the shaft. Stresses due to combined torsional and bending loads.

  9. Bitting (key) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitting_(Key)

    The exact geometry of modern keys is usually described by a code system. [1] The bitting instructs a locksmith how to cut a certain key, to replace a lost key or make an additional copy. The bitting is usually a series of integers (e.g. 372164) that is usually translated from a key code chart or from a bitting code list to settings on specially ...
