  3. Cocking handle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cocking_handle

    Charging handle being pulled on an M2 machine gun. The cocking handle, also known as charging handle or bolt handle, is a device on a firearm which, when manipulated, results in the bolt being pulled to the rear, putting the hammer/striker into a spring-loaded ("cocked") "ready and set" position, allowing the operator to open the breech and eject any spent/unwanted cartridge/shell from the ...

  4. Cooking off - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooking_off

    A fast cook-off is a cook-off caused by fire. A slow cook-off is caused by a sustained thermal event less intense than fire. A cooked-off round may cause a sympathetic detonation of adjacent rounds. Insensitive munitions are designed to be less vulnerable to accidental firing induced by external heat.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shutdown_valve

    Electro-hydraulic actuator In addition to the fluid type, actuators also vary in the manner in which the energy is stored to operate the valve on demand as follows: single-acting cylinder - Or spring return where the energy is stored by means of a compressed spring

  6. Action (firearms) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Action_(firearms)

    A break action is a type of firearm where the barrel(s) are hinged and can be "broken open" to expose the breech. Multi-barrel break action firearms are usually subdivided into over-and-under or side-by-side configurations for two barrel configurations or " combination gun " when mixed rifle and shotgun barrels are used.

  7. Solenoid (engineering) - Wikipedia

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

    Hydraulic machinery uses solenoids to control the flow of oil to rams or actuators. Solenoid-controlled valves are often used in irrigation systems, where a relatively weak solenoid opens and closes a small pilot valve, which in turn activates the main valve by applying fluid pressure to a piston or diaphragm that is mechanically coupled to the ...

  8. Scratch drive actuator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scratch_Drive_Actuator

    The actuator sits on top of a substrate that has a thin insulating dielectric layer on top. A voltage is applied between the actuator and the substrate, and the resulting potential pulls the body of the actuator downwards. When this occurs, the brush is pushed forwards by a small amount, and energy is stored in the strained actuator.

  9. Quick return mechanism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quick_return_mechanism

    A quick-return mechanism is a subclass of a slider-crank linkage, with an offset crank. Quick return is a common feature of tools in which the action is performed in only one direction of the stroke, such as shapers and powered saws , because it allows less time to be spent on returning the tool to its initial position.
