2. Bendix drive - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bendix_drive

   A Bendix drive is a type of engagement mechanism used in starter motors of internal combustion engines.The device allows the pinion gear of the starter motor to engage or disengage the ring gear (which is attached to the flywheel or flexplate of the engine) automatically when the starter is powered or when the engine fires, respectively.

3. Starter (engine) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starter_(engine)

   The Bendix system places the starter drive pinion on a helically cut drive shaft. When the starter motor begins turning, the inertia of the drive pinion assembly causes it to ride forward on the helix and thus engage with the ring gear. When the engine starts, backdrive from the ring gear causes the drive pinion to exceed the rotative speed of ...

4. Starter solenoid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starter_solenoid

   The pinion incorporates a one way clutch so that when the engine starts and runs it will not attempt to drive the starter motor at excessive RPM. Some older starter designs, such as the Bendix drive , used the rotational inertia of the pinion to force it along a helical groove cut into the starter drive-shaft, and thus no mechanical linkage ...

5. Starter ring gear - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starter_ring_gear

   Starter ring gear attached to a flywheel. In cars with a manual transmission, the starter ring gear is fitted to the outer diameter of the flywheel.The ring gear is usually fixed to the flywheel through use of an interference fit, [2] which is achieved by heating the ring gear and so that thermal expansion allows it to be placed around the flywheel.

6. Differential (mechanical device) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_(mechanical...

   The functions of this design are to change the axis of rotation by 90 degrees (from the propshaft to the half-shafts) and provide a reduction in the gear ratio. The components of the ring-and-pinion differential shown in the schematic diagram on the right are: 1. Output shafts 2. Drive gear 3. Output gears 4. Planetary gears 5. Carrier 6.

7. Freewheel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freewheel

   Freewheel mechanism Ratcheting freewheel mechanism (van Anden, 1869). In mechanical or automotive engineering, a freewheel or overrunning clutch is a device in a transmission that disengages the driveshaft from the driven shaft when the driven shaft rotates faster than the driveshaft.
