  2. Engine balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_balance

    Excessive hammer blow from high slipping speeds was a cause of kinked rails with new North American 4–6–4s and 4–8–4s that followed the 1934 A.A.R. recommendation to balance 40% of the reciprocating weight. [8] Out-of-balance inertia forces in the wheel can cause different vertical oscillations depending on the track stiffness.

  3. Balancing of rotating masses - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balancing_of_rotating_masses

    These four readings are sufficient to define the size and position of a final mass to achieve good balance. Ref 4 For production balancing, the phase of dynamic vibration is observed with its amplitude. This allows one-shot dynamic balance to be achieved with a single spin, by adding a mass of internally calculated size in a calculated position.

    Template documentation This template's initial visibility currently defaults to autocollapse , meaning that if there is another collapsible item on the page (a navbox, sidebar , or table with the collapsible attribute ), it is hidden apart from its title bar; if not, it is fully visible.

  5. Rotating unbalance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotating_unbalance

    A static balance (sometimes called a force balance [2] [3]) occurs when the inertial axis of a rotating mass is displaced from and parallel to the axis of rotation.Static unbalances can occur more frequently in disk-shaped rotors because the thin geometric profile of the disk allows for an uneven distribution of mass with an inertial axis that is nearly parallel to the axis of rotation.

  6. Variable-pitch propeller (aeronautics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable-pitch_propeller...

    Operation in a single engine reciprocating aircraft is as follows: Engine oil is pumped through the propeller shaft by the governor to push on a piston that drives the mechanism to change pitch. The flow of oil and the pitch are controlled by a governor, consisting of a gear type pump speeder spring, flyweights, and a pilot valve .

  7. Inline engine (aeronautics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inline_engine_(aeronautics)

    The major reciprocating-engine alternative configuration is the radial engine, where the cylinders are placed in a circular or "star" arrangement. The term "inline" is used somewhat differently for aircraft engines than automotive engines.

    The policy, which will be in effect between April and May, is voluntary and anonymous, with the airline stating that the data “will only be used to optimise Finnair’s current aircraft balance ...

  9. Center of gravity of an aircraft - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Center_of_gravity_of_an...

    The center of gravity (CG) of an aircraft is the point over which the aircraft would balance. [1] Its position is calculated after supporting the aircraft on at least two sets of weighing scales or load cells and noting the weight shown on each set of scales or load cells. The center of gravity affects the stability of the aircraft.
