2. Cross-drive steering transmission - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-drive_steering...

   A later design of cross-drive transmission, the Allison X1100, was used in the 1970s experimental US MBT-70 and XM1 [3] tanks, then later adopted in the M1 Abrams.This adopts a different principle for the steering cross-coupling: instead of a hydro-dynamic torque converter, it uses a hydrostatic combination of a hydraulic pump and a hydraulic motor.

3. DIRAVI - Wikipedia

   The rack takes the form of a double acting hydraulic ram, but is capable of taking over full steering function in the event of a hydraulic failure. During normal operation the rack and pinion merely provides a position indication to the steering control valve through the pinion shaft. The rack and pinion do the actual steering only in the ...

4. Azimuth thruster - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azimuth_thruster

   English inventor Francis Ronalds described what he called a propelling rudder in 1859 that combined the propulsion and steering mechanisms of a boat in a single apparatus. . The propeller was placed in a frame having an outer profile similar to a rudder and attached to a vertical shaft that allowed the device to rotate in plane while spin was transmitted to the propell

5. Fluid coupling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_coupling

   A fluid coupling consists of three components, plus the hydraulic fluid: The housing, also known as the shell [5] (which must have an oil-tight seal around the drive shafts), contains the fluid and turbines. Two turbines (fanlike components): One connected to the input shaft; known as the pump or impeller, [5] or primary wheel input turbine. [5]

6. Rudder - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudder

   Generally, a rudder is "part of the steering apparatus of a boat or ship that is fastened outside the hull, " denoting all types of oars, paddles, and rudders. [1] More specifically, the steering gear of ancient vessels can be classified into side-rudders and stern-mounted rudders, depending on their location on the ship.

7. Self-steering gear - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-steering_gear

   Another version of wind vane self steering on sail boats is known as the vertical axis vane and usually, because of the inferior steering force output compared to servo pendulum devices it makes use of a trim tab hung off the rudder to control the course of the boat. The vane spins at right angles to the ground and can lock to the trim tab in ...
