  2. Clevis fastener - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clevis_fastener

    Normal bolts are manufactured to handle tension loads, whereas clevis pins and bolts are designed to withstand shearing forces. The sheering strength of a threaded bolt is determined by its inner thread diameter. Clevis pins should be closely fitted to the holes in the clevis to limit wear and reduce the failure rate of either the pin or the ...

  3. Compact Muon Solenoid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compact_Muon_Solenoid

    The CMS detector is built around a huge solenoid magnet. This takes the form of a cylindrical coil of superconducting cable that generates a magnetic field of 4 tesla, about 100 000 times that of the Earth. The magnetic field is confined by a steel 'yoke' that forms the bulk of the detector's weight at 12,500 t.

  4. Split pin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Split_pin

    The extended prong type is popular because the difference in length of the two tines makes it easier to separate them. To ease insertion into a hole the longer tine may be slightly curved to overlap the tip of the shorter tine or it is beveled. [3] Hammer lock split pins are properly installed by striking the head with a hammer to secure the ...

  5. Metal detector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_detector

    A metal detector is an instrument that detects the nearby presence of metal. Metal detectors are useful for finding metal objects on the surface, underground, and under water. A metal detector consists of a control box, an adjustable shaft [dubious – discuss], and a variable-shaped pickup coil. When the coil nears metal, the control box ...

  6. Sledgehammer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sledgehammer

    A drilling hammer, [5] club hammer, lump hammer, crack hammer, mini-sledge or thor hammer is a small sledgehammer whose relatively light weight and short handle allow one-handed use. [6] It is useful for light demolition work, driving masonry nails, and for use with a steel chisel when cutting stone or metal. [ 7 ]

  7. Shackle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shackle

    Different types of shackles. The yellow cable ties indicate the date of the last tool inspection. A well-used shackle. A shackle (or shacklebolt), also known as a gyve, is a U-shaped piece of metal secured with a clevis pin or bolt across the opening, or a hinged metal loop secured with a quick-release locking pin mechanism.

  8. Receiver (firearms) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Receiver_(firearms)

    A disassembled Mauser action showing a partially disassembled receiver and bolt. In firearms terminology and law, the firearm frame or receiver is the part of a firearm which integrates other components by providing housing for internal action components such as the hammer, bolt or breechblock, firing pin and extractor, and has threaded interfaces for externally attaching ("receiving ...

  9. Microchannel plate detector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microchannel_plate_detector

    A microchannel plate within a Finnigan MAT 900 sector mass spectrometer position-and-time-resolved-ion-counting (PATRIC) scanning array detector. An external voltage divider is used to apply 100 volts to the acceleration optics (for electron detection), each MCP, the gap between the MCPs, the backside of the last MCP, and the collector .
