  2. Torque - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torque

    The horizontal axis shows the rotational speed (in rpm) that the crankshaft is turning, and the vertical axis is the torque (in newton-metres) that the engine is capable of providing at that speed. Torque forms part of the basic specification of an engine: the power output of an engine is expressed as its torque multiplied by the angular speed ...

  3. Preload control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preload_control

    bolt-strecth method utilizes a hydraulic ram that stretches the bolt by pulling on the threaded section of the bolt that protrudes through the nut. Nut is rotated into position with very small torque applied. Once the external stretching force is removed, the preload is established; heat tightening is based on stretching the bolt by heating it ...

  4. Screw theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screw_theory

    The force and torque vectors that arise in applying Newton's laws to a rigid body can be assembled into a screw called a wrench. A force has a point of application and a line of action, therefore it defines the Plücker coordinates of a line in space and has zero pitch. A torque, on the other hand, is a pure moment that is not bound to a line ...

  5. Bolted joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolted_joint

    The applied torque causes the bolt to "climb" the thread causing a tensioning of the bolt and an equivalent compression in the components being fastened by the bolt. The preload developed in a bolt is due to the applied torque and is a function of the bolt diameter, the geometry of the threads, and the coefficients of friction that exist in the ...

  6. Leadscrew - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leadscrew

    The running speed for a leadscrew (or ball screw) is typically limited to, at most, 80% of the calculated critical speed. The critical speed is the speed that excites the natural frequency of the screw. For a steel leadscrew or steel ballscrew, the critical speed is approximately [18]

  7. Friction torque - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friction_torque

    The small black vector arrow represents the frictional force caused by the bar sliding across the second bar (grey). In mechanics, friction torque is the torque caused by the frictional force that occurs when two objects in contact move. [1] Like all torques, it is a rotational force that may be measured in newton meters or pounds-feet.

  8. Torque multiplier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torque_multiplier

    For example, a torque multiplier with a rating of 3:1 will turn its output shaft with three times the torque, but at one third the speed, of the input shaft. However, due to friction and other inefficiencies in the mechanism, the output torque is slightly lower than the theoretical output.

  9. Mechanical advantage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_advantage

    The requirement for power input to an ideal mechanism to equal power output provides a simple way to compute mechanical advantage from the input-output speed ratio of the system. The power input to a gear train with a torque T A applied to the drive pulley which rotates at an angular velocity of ω A is P=T A ω A.
