  2. General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon variants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Dynamics_F-16...

    In February 1979, General Electric was awarded a $79.9 million (~$271 million in 2023) (1979) contract under the joint USAF/Navy Derivative Fighter Engine (DFE) program to develop a variant of its F101 turbofan engine, originally designed for the B-1A bomber, for use on the F-16 (in lieu of the standard P&W F100) and the F-14A (in place of the ...

  3. Parallel manipulator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_manipulator

    A further advantage of the parallel manipulator is that the heavy actuators may often be centrally mounted on a single base platform, the movement of the arm taking place through struts and joints alone. This reduction in mass along the arm permits a lighter arm construction, thus lighter actuators and faster movements.

  4. Solenoid valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solenoid_valve

    Solenoid valves. A solenoid valve is an electromechanically operated valve.. Solenoid valves differ in the characteristics of the electric current they use, the strength of the magnetic field they generate, the mechanism they use to regulate the fluid, and the type and characteristics of fluid they control.

  5. Actuator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actuator

    An actuator is a component of a machine that produces force, torque, or displacement, when an electrical, pneumatic or hydraulic input is supplied to it in a system (called an actuating system). The effect is usually produced in a controlled way. [1] An actuator translates such an input signal into the required form of mechanical energy.

  6. Exploded-view drawing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exploded-view_drawing

    An exploded-view drawing is a diagram, picture, schematic or technical drawing of an object, that shows the relationship or order of assembly of various parts. [1]It shows the components of an object slightly separated by distance, or suspended in surrounding space in the case of a three-dimensional exploded diagram.

  7. Linear actuator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_actuator

    By connecting linkages to the nut, the motion can be converted to usable linear displacement. Most current actuators are built for high speed, high force, or a compromise between the two. When considering an actuator for a particular application, the most important specifications are typically travel, speed, force, accuracy, and lifetime.

    The 79-year-old tells PEOPLE that, despite being "low-tech," he agreed. The next day, Leo called Kapas and said the video had been viewed by 2 million people. "By the end of the next day, it had ...

  9. Butterfly valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butterfly_valve

    A rod passes through the disc to an actuator on the outside of the valve. Rotating the actuator turns the disc either parallel or perpendicular to the flow. Unlike a ball valve, the disc is always present within the flow, so it induces a pressure drop, even when open. A butterfly valve is from a family of valves called quarter-turn valves. In ...
