  2. Engine balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_balance

    Excessive hammer blow from high slipping speeds was a cause of kinked rails with new North American 4–6–4s and 4–8–4s that followed the 1934 A.A.R. recommendation to balance 40% of the reciprocating weight. [8] Out-of-balance inertia forces in the wheel can cause different vertical oscillations depending on the track stiffness.

  3. Balancing of rotating masses - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balancing_of_rotating_masses

    These four readings are sufficient to define the size and position of a final mass to achieve good balance. Ref 4 For production balancing, the phase of dynamic vibration is observed with its amplitude. This allows one-shot dynamic balance to be achieved with a single spin, by adding a mass of internally calculated size in a calculated position.

  4. Rotating unbalance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotating_unbalance

    A static balance (sometimes called a force balance [2] [3]) occurs when the inertial axis of a rotating mass is displaced from and parallel to the axis of rotation.Static unbalances can occur more frequently in disk-shaped rotors because the thin geometric profile of the disk allows for an uneven distribution of mass with an inertial axis that is nearly parallel to the axis of rotation.

  5. Engine configuration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_configuration

    Radial and rotary engine designs were widely used in early aircraft engines. U engines consist of two separate straight engines (complete with separate crankshafts) joined by gears or chains. Most U engines have four cylinders (i.e. two straight-two engines combined), such as square four engines and tandem twin engines.

  7. Cam (mechanism) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cam_(mechanism)

    The cam can be seen as a device that converts rotational motion to reciprocating (or sometimes oscillating) motion. [clarification needed] [3] A common example is the camshaft of an automobile, which takes the rotary motion of the engine and converts it into the reciprocating motion necessary to operate the intake and exhaust valves of the cylinders.

  9. V12 engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V12_engine

    Each bank of a V12 engine essentially functions as a straight-six engine, which by itself has perfect primary and secondary engine balance.A four-stroke V12 engine has even firing order at V-angles of 60, 120, or 180 degrees [1] Many V12 engines use a V-angle of 60 degrees between the two banks of cylinders.
