2. Key (engineering) - Wikipedia

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

   The tapered key is tapered only on the side that engages the hub. The keyway in the hub has a taper that matches that of the tapered key. Some taper keys have a gib, or tab, for easy removal during disassembly. The purpose of the taper is to secure the key itself, as well as to firmly engage the shaft to the hub without the need for a set screw.

3. Straight engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straight_engine

   A straight engine is easier to build than an equivalent flat engine or V engine, as it uses one cylinder head rather than two. Inline engines are also narrower than flat engines or V engines; however, they are longer and can be taller. The engine balance characteristics of a straight engine depend on the number of cylinders and the firing interval.

4. Engine configuration - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_configuration

   Most engines with four or less cylinders use a straight engine layout, and most engines with eight cylinders or more use a V engine layout. However, there are various exceptions to this, such as the straight-eight engines used by various luxury cars from 1919-1954, [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] V4 engines used by some marine outboard motors, V-twin and ...

5. Coupling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coupling

   A tapered lock is a form of keyless shaft locking device [6] that does not require any material to be removed from the shaft. The basic idea is similar to a clamp coupling but the moment of rotation is closer to the center of the shaft. [ 7 ]

6. Engine balance - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_balance

   270° crankshaft: This configuration minimises secondary imbalances; however, a primary-rotating-plane imbalance is present and the firing order is uneven. The exhaust note and power delivery resemble those of a 90° V-twin engine. Straight-three engines most commonly use a 120° crankshaft design and have the following characteristics:

7. Spline (mechanical) - Wikipedia

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

   Aircraft engines may have a spline upon which mounts the propeller. There may be a master spline which is wider than the others, so that the propeller may go on at only one orientation, to maintain dynamic balance. This arrangement is commonly found in larger engines, whereas smaller engines typically use a pattern of threaded fasteners instead.

9. Straight-twin engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straight-twin_engine

   The first known straight-twin engine was a variant of the Daimler Motors' Phoenix engine introduced in 1895; these engines were used in Panhard cars that year. [43] Another early straight-twin engined car was the 1898 Decauville Voiturelle , which used a pair of cylinders taken from a de Dion model mounted fore and aft and positioned below the ...
