  2. Slider-crank linkage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slider-crank_linkage

    With all in-line slider-crank mechanisms, the stroke is twice the length of the crank arm. Therefore, given the stroke, the length of the crank arm can be determined. This relationship is represented as: L 2 = (ΔR 4) max ÷ 2. Once L 2 is found, the follower length (L 3) can be determined. However, because the stroke of the mechanism only ...

  3. Dunkerley's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunkerley's_Method

    When an element of mass is offset from the axis of rotation, centrifugal force will tend to pull the mass outward. The elastic properties of the shaft will act to restore the “straightness”. If the frequency of rotation is equal to one of the resonant frequencies of the shaft, whirling will occur. In order to save the machine from failure ...

  4. Engineering fit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_fit

    Engineering fits are generally used as part of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing when a part or assembly is designed. In engineering terms, the "fit" is the clearance between two mating parts, and the size of this clearance determines whether the parts can, at one end of the spectrum, move or rotate independently from each other or, at the other end, are temporarily or permanently joined.

  5. VEX Robotics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VEX_Robotics

    As of February 2024, there have been no official updates on when, or if, the first VEX AI competition will happen. VEX AI robotics teams will have an opportunity to compete in the VEX AI Competition (VAIC). VEX U is a robotics competition for college and university students. The game is similar to V5RC, but traditionally with separate, more ...

  6. Interference fit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interference_fit

    As an example, a 10 mm (0.394 in) shaft made of 303 stainless steel will form a tight fit with allowance of 3–10 μm (0.00012–0.00039 in). A slip fit can be formed when the bore diameter is 12–20 μm (0.00047–0.00079 in) wider than the rod; or, if the rod is made 12–20 μm under the given bore diameter.

  7. List of gear nomenclature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_gear_nomenclature

    Shaft angle. A shaft angle is the angle between the axes of two non-parallel gear shafts. In a pair of crossed helical gears, the shaft angle lies between the oppositely rotating portions of two shafts. This applies also in the case of worm gearing. In bevel gears, the shaft angle is the sum of the two

  8. Rotary encoder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_encoder

    A rotary encoder, also called a shaft encoder, is an electro-mechanical device that converts the angular position or motion of a shaft or axle to analog or digital output signals. [1] There are two main types of rotary encoder: absolute and incremental. The output of an absolute encoder indicates the current shaft position, making it an angle ...

  9. Engineering tolerance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_tolerance

    The standard (size) tolerances are divided into two categories: hole and shaft. They are labelled with a letter (capitals for holes and lowercase for shafts) and a number. For example: H7 (hole, tapped hole, or nut) and h7 (shaft or bolt). H7/h6 is a very common standard tolerance which gives a tight fit.
