  2. Magnetic gear - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_Gear

    The magnetic gear is a magnetic coupling device that renders a mechanical ratio between two magnetically-coupled devices such that: They have a ratio of rotational or translational movement between input and output, which may be 1 in the case of a pure magnetic coupling or one of many gear ratios in a magnetic gearbox.

  3. Gyroscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyroscope

    Some gyroscopes have mechanical equivalents substituted for one or more of the elements. For example, the spinning rotor may be suspended in a fluid, instead of being mounted in gimbals. A control moment gyroscope (CMG) is an example of a fixed-output-gimbal device that is used on spacecraft to hold or maintain a desired attitude angle or ...

  4. Rotary switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_switch

    A rotary switch is a switch operated by rotation. These are often chosen when more than 2 positions are needed, such as a three-speed fan or a CB radio with multiple frequencies of reception or "channels". A rotary switch consists of a spindle or "rotor" that has a contact arm or "spoke" which projects from its surface like a cam.

  5. Rotary encoder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_encoder

    The mechanical type is commonly employed as a manually operated "digital potentiometer" control on electronic equipment. For example, modern home and car stereos typically use mechanical rotary encoders as volume controls. Encoders with mechanical sensors require switch debouncing and consequently are limited in the rotational speeds they can ...

  6. Hall effect sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hall_effect_sensor

    Hall effect devices produce a very low signal level and thus require amplification. The vacuum tube amplifier technology available in the first half of the 20th century was too large, expensive, and power-consuming for everyday Hall effect sensor applications, which were limited to laboratory instruments.

  7. Mercury switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury_switch

    A Single-Pole, Single-Throw (SPST) mercury switch on millimetre graph paper, device length approximately 1.5 cm Another mercury switch design. A mercury switch is an electrical switch that opens and closes a circuit when a small amount of the liquid metal mercury connects metal electrodes to close the circuit. There are several different basic ...

  8. Detent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detent

    A detent is a mechanical or magnetic means to resist or arrest the movement of a mechanical device. [1] Such a device can be anything ranging from a simple metal pin to a machine. The term is also used for the method involved. Magnetic detents are most often used to divide a shaft rotation into discrete increments.

  9. 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.
