  2. Chevrolet Chevette - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_Chevette

    The T1000 also had additional fresh-air vents at the outer ends of the dashboard. [12] This gave Canadian Pontiac dealers 2 versions of the T-car: the Acadian and the T1000 (later, simply "1000") concurrently from 1981 to 1985. Power steering was a new option for the Chevette, as well as a 3.36 axle ratio (standard on T1000 models).

  3. Torrington Company - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torrington_Company

    In the 1930s, a research engineer named Edmund K. Brown invented a new kind of needle bearing, which eventually became the majority of the company's business. [3] After World War II, in which the US had a large need for needle bearings for military aircraft like B-29 bombers, the production of bearings became the company's central product line.

  4. Linear-motion bearing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear-motion_bearing

    A linear-motion bearing or linear slide is a bearing designed to provide free motion in one direction. There are many different types of linear motion bearings.. Motorized linear slides such as machine slides, X-Y tables, roller tables and some dovetail slides are bearings moved by drive mechanisms.

  5. Jewel bearing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewel_bearing

    A jewel bearing is a plain bearing in which a metal spindle turns in a jewel-lined pivot hole. The hole is typically shaped like a torus and is slightly larger than the shaft diameter. The jewels are typically made from the mineral corundum , usually either synthetic sapphire or synthetic ruby .

  6. Rolling-element bearing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling-element_bearing

    Roller bearings are the earliest known type of rolling-element-bearing, dating back to at least 40 BC. Common roller bearings use cylinders of slightly greater length than diameter. Roller bearings typically have a higher radial load capacity than ball bearings, but a lower capacity and higher friction under axial loads.

  7. Allison 1000 transmission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allison_1000_transmission

    The 1000 series (and similar 2000 and 2400 series) is a line of automatic transmissions for on-road trucks.All are 5 or 6-speed electronically controlled units and are manufactured by Allison Transmission in Indianapolis, Indiana as well as in Baltimore, Maryland and in Erskine, Minnesota.

  8. Plain bearing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plain_bearing

    Linear bearing: This bearing provides linear motion; it may take the form of a circular bearing and shaft or any other two mating surfaces (e.g., a slide plate). [3] Thrust bearing: A thrust bearing provides a bearing surface for forces acting axial to the shaft. [3] One example is a propeller shaft.

  9. Fluid bearing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_bearing

    There are two principal ways of getting the fluid into the bearing: In fluid static, hydrostatic and many gas or air bearings, the fluid is pumped in through an orifice or through a porous material. Such bearings should be equipped with the shaft position control system, which adjusts the fluid pressure and consumption according to the rotation ...
