  2. Belt (mechanical) - Wikipedia

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

    V-belts need larger pulleys for their thicker cross-section than flat belts. For high-power requirements, two or more V-belts can be joined side-by-side in an arrangement called a multi-V, running on matching multi-groove sheaves. This is known as a multiple-V-belt drive (or sometimes a "classical V-belt drive").

  3. WVA number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WVA_number

    WVA numbers (Waren-Vertriebs-Artikel-Nummern) are a reference and assignment system for brake linings, clutch facings, brake shoes and other friction materials which will especially be used in road vehicles but also in mechanical engineering.

  4. Van Allen radiation belt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_Allen_radiation_belt

    The belts are named after James Van Allen, who published an article describing the belts in 1958. [1] [2] Earth's two main belts extend from an altitude of about 640 to 58,000 km (400 to 36,040 mi) [3] above the surface, in which region radiation levels vary. The belts are in the inner region of Earth's magnetic field.

  5. Serpentine belt - Wikipedia

    Serpentine belt (foreground) and dual vee belt (background) on a bus engine Belt tensioner providing pressure against the back of a serpentine belt in an automobile engine. A serpentine belt (or drive belt [1]) is a single, continuous belt used to drive multiple peripheral devices in an automotive engine, such as an alternator, power steering pump, water pump, air conditioning compressor, air ...

  6. Conveyor belt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conveyor_belt

    A conveyor belt is the carrying medium of a belt conveyor system (often shortened to a belt conveyor). A belt conveyor system consists of two or more pulleys (sometimes referred to as drums), with a closed loop of carrying medium—the conveyor belt—that rotates about them. One or both of the pulleys are powered, moving the belt and the ...

  7. Cross-reference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-reference

    The term cross-reference (abbreviation: xref) can refer to either: . An instance within a document which refers to related information elsewhere in the same document. In both printed and online dictionaries cross-references are important because they form a network structure of relations existing between different parts of data, dictionary-internal as well as dictionary external.

  8. Cross belt sorter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross_belt_sorter

    The cross-belt sorter operates in several stages: Induction: Items are fed typically at an angle of 30˚ or 45˚ onto the moving sorter through a series of conveyors that accelerate the item to the sorter speed. The cross-belt then activates and the item is inducted to the sorter cell at null relative speed.

  9. Timing belt (camshaft) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timing_belt_(camshaft)

    Timing belts are typically located in front of the engine and are often behind a cover for protection against dust and debris. However a few engines since 2008 have used "wet timing belts", whereby the belt is lubricated by engine oil to reduce friction losses by 30% and thus reduce fuel consumption by 1%. [7]
