Banjo fittings are commonly found in automotive fuel, [2] motor oil and hydraulic systems (e.g.: brakes and clutch). General applications include: Hydraulic power systems; Power steering fluid; Variable valve timing systems; Brake caliper connectors [1] Turbo charger oil feeds; Fuel filter connectors [3] Carburetor connector [2] Hydraulic ...
The engine has, instead of rotors made of malleable cast iron, rotors made of forged aluminium, which reduces the rotor mass by about 50 per cent when compared with rotors made of cast iron. [10] The rotors were designed by Daimler-Benz, and made by Mahle. [11] The eccentric shaft is a single piece and has no hirth joints. [12]
The speed and torque characteristics of a wound-rotor motor can be adjusted by changing the external resistance, unlike a squirrel cage motor which has a fixed characteristic. This is useful for speed control of the motor. [1] A wound-rotor motor can be used in several forms of adjustable-speed drive. Common applications include hoists and ...
An internal oil pump is generally more difficult to replace, but that is dependent on the engine design. A wet sump design can be problematic in a racing car, as the large g force pulled by drivers going around corners causes the oil in the pan to slosh, gravitating away from the oil pick-up, briefly starving the system of oil and damaging the ...
The oil pump forces the motor oil through the passages in the engine to properly distribute oil to different engine components. In a common oiling system, oil is drawn out of the oil sump (oil pan, in US English) through a wire mesh strainer that removes some of the larger pieces of debris from the oil.
Dry running protection, also known as dry-run protection or dry-running protection, is a type of protection mechanism to prevent a rotor, pump or stirrer shaft from operating without any medium added, as the bearing and shaft seal might be damaged if the motor is run while dry. [1]
In 1888, Nikola Tesla received a patent on a two-phase induction motor with a short-circuited copper rotor winding and a two-phase stator winding. Developments of this design became commercially important. In 1889, Mikhail Dolivo-Dobrovolsky developed a wound-rotor induction motor, and shortly afterwards a cage-type rotor winding. By the end of ...
The chatter marks, nicknamed "devil's fingernails", were caused by the tip-seal vibrating at its natural frequency. The oil consumption problem was addressed with heat-resistant rubber oil seals at the sides of the rotors. This early engine had a rotor radius of 90 mm (3.5 in), an offset of 14 mm (0.55 in), and a depth of 59 mm (2.3 in).
