A schematic showing positive (left) and negative (right) rake angles. In machining, the rake angle is a parameter used in various cutting processes, describing the angle of the cutting face relative to the workpiece. There are three types of rake angles: positive, zero or neutral, and negative. Positive rake: A tool has a positive rake when the ...
Rake describes the angle made by a sloped surface with respect to a horizontal or vertical reference. The usages of this term include: A motorcycle or bicycle fork rake, the angle at which the forks are angled down towards the ground; Rake angle in machining and sawing, the angle of a cutting head
The three-dimensional orientation of a line can be described with just a plunge and trend. The rake is a useful description of a line because often (in geology) features (lines) follow along a planar surface. In these cases the rake can be used to describe the line's orientation in three dimensions relative to that planar surface.
In motorcycles, the steering axis angle is measured from the vertical and called the caster angle, rake angle, or just rake; [5] a 0° rake is therefore vertical. For example, Moto Guzzi [6] offers: a 2007 Breva V 1100 with a rake of 25°30′ (25.5 degrees) a 2007 Nevada Classic 750 with a rake of 27.5°
In motorcycles, rake refers to the head angle instead, and offset created by the triple tree is used to diminish trail. [43] A small survey by Whitt and Wilson [28] found: touring bicycles with head angles between 72° and 73° and trail between 43 mm and 60 mm; racing bicycles with head angles between 73° and 74° and trail between 28 mm and ...
Rake is measured by placing a protractor flat on the planar surface, with the flat edge horizontal and measuring the angle of the lineation clockwise from horizontal. The orientation of the lineation can then be calculated from the rake and strike-dip information of the plane it was measured from, using a stereographic projection.
Setting the blade on an angle decreases the amount of force required, but increases the stroke. A 5-degree shear angle decreases the force by about 20% [citation needed]. The amount of energy used is still the same. The moving blade may also be inclined 0.5 to 2.5°, called the rake angle, to keep the material from becoming wedged between the ...
The sawtooth wave (or saw wave) is a kind of non-sinusoidal waveform.It is so named based on its resemblance to the teeth of a plain-toothed saw with a zero rake angle.A single sawtooth, or an intermittently triggered sawtooth, is called a ramp waveform.
