If a helicopter suffers a power failure a pilot can adjust the collective pitch to keep the rotor spinning, generating enough lift to touch down and skid in a relatively soft landing. [ 3 ] The collective pitch control in a Boeing CH-47 Chinook is called a thrust control , but serves the same purpose, except that it controls two rotor systems ...
Hunter Industries is a manufacturer of irrigation and outdoor lighting equipment for the landscaping, residential, commercial, agricultural, and golf course industries, [3] based in San Marcos, California. [4] Hunter Industries also offers sanitary dispensing products such as automatic paper towel and soap dispensers.
A rotary switch is a switch operated by rotation. These are often chosen when more than 2 positions are needed, such as a three-speed fan or a CB radio with multiple frequencies of reception or "channels". A rotary switch consists of a spindle or "rotor" that has a contact arm or "spoke" which projects from its surface like a cam.
The Boeing Vertol CH-46 Sea Knight is a medium-lift tandem-rotor transport helicopter, furnished with a set of counter-rotating main rotors in a tandem-rotor configuration. It was typically powered by a pair of General Electric T58 turboshaft engines, which were mounted on each side of the rear rotor pedestal; power to the forward rotor was ...
Electric rotary valve actuator controlling a butterfly valve. A rotary actuator is an actuator that produces a rotary motion or torque.. The simplest actuator is purely mechanical, where linear motion in one direction gives rise to rotation.
An intermeshing-rotor helicopter (or synchropter) is a helicopter with a set of two main rotors turning in opposite directions, with each rotor mast mounted with a slight angle to the other, in a transversely symmetrical manner, so that the blades intermesh without colliding.
An absolute encoder maintains position information when power is removed from the encoder. [5] The position of the encoder is available immediately on applying power. The relationship between the encoder value and the physical position of the controlled machinery is set at assembly; the system does not need to return to a calibration point to maintain position accuracy.
In another arrangement, one rotor is inside the stator with a second rotor on the outside of the stator. [2] The photo labelled FIG. 8 is from a patent application. It shows two rotors assembled into a single unit, with eight permanent magnets attached to the outer surface of the inner rotor, and eight to the inner surface of the outer rotor. [5]
