  2. Hydraulic tappet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_tappet

    A hydraulic tappet, also known as a hydraulic valve lifter or hydraulic lash adjuster, is a device for maintaining zero valve clearance in an internal combustion engine. Conventional solid valve lifters require regular adjusting to maintain a small clearance between the valve and its rocker or cam follower. This space prevents the parts from ...

  3. Drum handler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drum_handler

    Drum dollies, palletizer, vertical lift pourer and spotter are good examples of mobile drum handler. Hydraulic Drum Lifter is a stand-alone piece of drum handling equipment that uses a wheeled trolley combined with a vertical lifting mast and drum gripping system. Often operated by a hydraulic pump with manual user pedal input or an electric motor.

  4. Desmodromic valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desmodromic_valve

    Since those days, lift, velocity, acceleration, and jerk curves for cams have been modelled by computer [6] to reveal that cam dynamics are not what they seemed. With proper analysis, problems relating to valve adjustment, hydraulic tappets, push rods, rocker arms, and above all, valve float, became things of the past without desmodromic drive.

  5. Tappet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tappet

    In an internal combustion engine, a tappet (also called a 'valve lifter' or 'cam follower') [3] [4] [5] is the component which converts the rotation of the camshaft into vertical motion to open and close an intake or exhaust valve. The principal types of tappets used in automotive engines are solid, hydraulic, and roller. [6] [7]

  6. Active Fuel Management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_Fuel_Management

    A solenoid control valve assembly integrated into the engine valley cover contains solenoid valves that provide a pressurized oil signal to specially designed hydraulic roller lifters provided by Eaton Corp. and Delphi. These lifters disable and re-enable exhaust and intake valve operation to deactivate and reactivate engine cylinders . Unlike ...

  7. Drum motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drum_motor

    Drum Motor with Planetary Gear Drum Motor With Helical Spur Gear. The drum motor concept was first recorded in 1928, but it was not used until the early 1950s, when it was first produced specifically for conveyor belt applications. The goal was to produce a compact, totally enclosed single component drive unit with high efficiency and lower ...

  8. Net positive suction head - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Net_positive_suction_head

    In a hydraulic circuit, net positive suction head (NPSH) may refer to one of two quantities in the analysis of cavitation: The Available NPSH (NPSH A): a measure of how close the fluid at a given point is to flashing, and so to cavitation. Technically it is the absolute pressure head minus the vapour pressure of the liquid.

  9. Hoist (mining) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoist_(mining)

    A drum hoist (steel wire rope visible) and motor. In underground mining a hoist or winder [1] is used to raise and lower conveyances within the mine shaft.Modern hoists are normally powered using electric motors, historically with direct current drives utilizing Ward Leonard control machines and later solid-state converters (), although modern large hoists use alternating current drives that ...
