  2. Centrifugal governor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_governor

    Centrifugal governors are used in many modern repeating watches to limit the speed of the striking train, so the repeater does not run too quickly. Another kind of centrifugal governor consists of a pair of masses on a spindle inside a cylinder, the masses or the cylinder being coated with pads, somewhat like a centrifugal clutch or a drum brake.

  3. Governor (device) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Governor_(device)

    A governor, or speed limiter or controller, is a device used to measure and regulate the speed of a machine, such as an engine.. A classic example is the centrifugal governor, also known as the Watt or fly-ball governor on a reciprocating steam engine, which uses the effect of inertial force on rotating weights driven by the machine output shaft to regulate its speed by altering the input flow ...

    voltage regulators are often "U" for IC, pots and trimmers often "R" for resistor X: Socket connector for another item not P or J, paired with the letter symbol for that item (XV for vacuum tube socket, XF for fuse holder, XA for printed circuit assembly connector, XU for integrated circuit connector, XDS for light socket, etc.) X, XTAL, Y

  5. Electronic symbol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_symbol

    Wire crossover symbols for circuit diagrams. The CAD symbol for insulated crossing wires is the same as the older, non-CAD symbol for non-insulated crossing wires. To avoid confusion, the wire "jump" (semi-circle) symbol for insulated wires in non-CAD schematics is recommended (as opposed to using the CAD-style symbol for no connection), so as to avoid confusion with the original, older style ...

  6. Steam turbine governing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_turbine_governing

    In larger steam turbines an oil operated servo mechanism is used in order to enhance the lever sensitivity. The use of a relay system magnifies the small deflections of the lever connected to the governor sleeve. [2] The differential lever is connected at both the ends to the governor sleeve and the throttle valve spindle respectively.

  7. Regulator (automatic control) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulator_(automatic_control)

    Regulators can be designed to control anything from gases or fluids, to light or electricity. Speed can be regulated by electronic, mechanical, or electro-mechanical means. Such instances include; Electronic regulators as used in modern railway sets where the voltage is raised or lowered to control the speed of the engine

  8. Rotational bell painting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotational_bell_painting

    The typical bell applicator consists of five major assemblies: the valve module, the bell cup, the turbine, the shaping air shroud, and the electrostatic system.. The valve module is a manifold consisting of passages for paint, solvent, and compressed air, and valves to control the flow of materials for paint delivery, cleaning and purging with solvent or hydropurge, and management of ...
