  2. Air bearing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_bearing

    Cables/tubes (motor, air bearing, measurement system) do not move in order to avoid breakages due to high load cycles. The air-bearings are absolutely insensitive against geometric fluctuation as a result of a temperature change. [15] Drive for production machine Beside the performance, the reliability is extremely important for a production ...

  3. Disk read-and-write head - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_read-and-write_head

    A disk read-and-write head is the small part of a disk drive that moves above the disk platter and transforms the platter's magnetic field into electric current (reads the disk) or, vice versa, transforms electric current into magnetic field (writes the disk). [1] The heads have gone through a number of changes over the years.

  4. Losses in electrical systems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Losses_in_electrical_systems

    In an electrical or electronic circuit or power system part of the energy in play is dissipated by unwanted effects, including energy lost by unwanted heating of resistive components (electricity is also used for the intention of heating, which is not a loss), the effect of parasitic elements (resistance, capacitance, and inductance), skin effect, losses in the windings and cores of ...

  5. Foil bearing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foil_bearing

    A foil bearing, also known as a foil-air bearing, is a type of air bearing. A shaft is supported by a compliant, spring-loaded foil journal lining. Once the shaft is spinning fast enough, the working fluid (usually air) pushes the foil away from the shaft so that no contact occurs. The shaft and foil are separated by the air's high pressure ...

  6. Electrical device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_device

    Electrical devices or electric devices are devices that functionally rely on electric energy (AC or DC) to operate their core parts (electric motors, transformers, lighting, rechargeable batteries, control electronics). They can be contrasted with traditional mechanical devices which depend on different power sources like fuels or human ...

  7. Electromechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromechanics

    Piezoelectric devices can create sound or vibration from an electrical signal or create an electrical signal from sound or mechanical vibration. To become an electromechanical engineer, typical college courses involve mathematics, engineering, computer science, designing of machines, and other automotive classes that help gain skill in ...

  8. Glossary of mechanical engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_mechanical...

    Air handler – an air handler, or air handling unit (often abbreviated to AHU), is a device used to regulate and circulate air as part of a heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning system. [ 13 ] Air compressor – a device that converts power (using an electric motor, diesel or gasoline engine, etc.) into potential energy stored in ...

  9. Corona discharge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corona_discharge

    It represents a local region where the air (or other fluid) has undergone electrical breakdown and become conductive, allowing charge to continuously leak off the conductor into the air. A corona discharge occurs at locations where the strength of the electric field ( potential gradient ) around a conductor exceeds the dielectric strength of ...
