  2. Chrysler LA engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrysler_LA_engine

    The gerotor-type oil pump was located at the bottom-rear of the engine, and provided oil to both the crankshaft main bearings and the cylinder heads (via the lifters and pushrods, as opposed to a bored passage on LA engines). Chrysler's engineers also redesigned the oil seals on the crankshaft to improve anti-leak seal performance.

  3. American wire gauge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_wire_gauge

    AWG is colloquially referred to as gauge and the zeros in thick wire sizes are referred to as aught / ˈ ɔː t /. Wire sized 1 AWG is referred to as "one gauge" or "No. 1" wire; similarly, thinner sizes are pronounced "x gauge" or "No. x" wire, where x is the positive-integer AWG number. Consecutive AWG wire sizes thicker than No. 1 wire are ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Duratorq_engine

    The first design, codenamed "Puma" during its development, replaced the older Endura-D unit which had been around since 1984. Commercial versions of the Puma unit replaced Ford's older "2.5Di" type unit used in the Transit , and many other manufacturers' vehicles - most notably the London Taxi and in the Land Rover Defender .

  5. Chrysler B engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrysler_B_engine

    The Chrysler B and RB engines are a series of big-block V8 gasoline engines introduced in 1958 to replace the Chrysler FirePower (first generation Hemi) engines. The B and RB engines are often referred to as "wedge" engines because they use wedge-shaped combustion chambers; this differentiates them from Chrysler's 426 Hemi big block engines that are typically referred to as "Hemi" or "426 Hemi ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lycoming_O-340

    The O-340 was designed by Lycoming specifically for the TEMCO-Riley D-16A Twin Navion project. Jack Riley, the designer of that aircraft was interested in an upgraded version of the Lycoming O-320 that would produce more power to give the Twin Navion a better single-engine service ceiling.

  7. Labyrinth seal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labyrinth_seal

    Indeed, many gas turbine engine seals leak by design. [4] Labyrinth seals are also found on pistons, which use them to store oil and seal against high pressure during compression and power strokes, as well as on non-rotating shafts. In these applications, it is the long and difficult path and the formation of controlled fluid vortices plus some ...

  8. Crankshaft - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crankshaft

    The crankshaft is located within the engine block and held in place via main bearings which allow the crankshaft to rotate within the block. [3] The up-down motion of each piston is transferred to the crankshaft via connecting rods. [4] A flywheel is often attached to one end of the crankshaft, in order to smoothen the power delivery and reduce ...

    The PUMA (Programmable Universal Machine for Assembly, or Programmable Universal Manipulation Arm) is an industrial robotic arm developed by Victor Scheinman at pioneering robot company Unimation. Initially developed by Unimation for General Motors , the PUMA was based on earlier designs Scheinman invented while at Stanford University based on ...
