A lineshaft roller conveyor or line-shaft conveyor is, as its name suggests, powered by a shaft beneath rollers. These conveyors are suitable for light applications up to 50 kg such as cardboard boxes and tote boxes. A single shaft runs below the rollers running the length of the conveyor. On the shaft are a series of spools, one spool for each ...
Industrial Insulation. Rigid polyurethane foam is used in various industries to provide thermal insulation to installations and pipes. In particular, the piping for district heating systems in Europe is primarily insulated using a pre-insulated pipes sandwich assembly composed of a steel heat service pipe, an insulating layer (polyurethane foam) and a polyethylene (PE) casing, which are bonded ...
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
An early wheel made of a solid piece of wood. A wheel is a rotating component (typically circular in shape) that is intended to turn on an axle bearing.The wheel is one of the key components of the wheel and axle which is one of the six simple machines.
A spherical roller thrust bearing. A spherical roller thrust bearing is a rolling-element bearing of thrust type that permits rotation with low friction, and permits angular misalignment. The bearing is designed to take radial loads, and heavy axial loads in one direction. Typically these bearings support a rotating shaft in the bore of the ...
Azimuth thruster. A Z-drive is a type of marine propulsion unit. Specifically, it is an azimuth thruster.The pod can rotate 360 degrees allowing for rapid changes in thrust direction and thus vessel direction.
A V-drive is a power transmission system for boats that consists (usually) of two gearboxes, two drive shafts, and a propeller.. Whereas the conventional arrangement sites the engine with its gearbox aft, driving the propeller shaft directly, in a "V-drive" layout, the engine is reversed, to have the gearbox in front.
These rollers typically each have an axis of rotation at 45° to the wheel plane and at 45° to the axle line. [3] Each Mecanum wheel is an independent non-steering drive wheel with its own powertrain , and when spinning generates a propelling force perpendicular to the roller axle, which can be vectored into a longitudinal and a transverse ...
