2. Centerlock wheel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centerlock_wheel

   A modern centerlock hub on a McLaren MP4/14 Formula One car. Most modern centerlock wheels are fastened to the hub by a single large hex nut. [7] A hollow, tapered shaft centers the wheel on the hub. Torque is transmitted by pins and matching holes at the hub-wheel interface.

3. Screw thread - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screw_thread

   The axle nuts, or less commonly, lug nuts on the left side of some automobiles; The securing nut on some circular saw blades – the large torque at startup should tend to tighten the nut; The spindle on brushcutter and line trimmer heads, so that the torque tends to tighten rather than loosen the connection

4. Axle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axle

   An axle that is driven by the engine or prime mover is called a drive axle. Modern front-wheel drive cars typically combine the transmission (gearbox and differential) and front axle into a single unit called a transaxle. The drive axle is a split axle with a differential and universal joints between the two half axles. Each half axle connects ...

5. Locking differential - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Locking_differential

   An open (or unlocked) differential always provides the same torque (rotational force) to each of the two wheels on that axle. Therefore, although the wheels can rotate at different speeds, they apply the same rotational force, even if one is entirely stationary, and the other spinning (equal torque; unequal rotational speed).

6. Spline (mechanical) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spline_(mechanical)

   A spline is a ridge or tooth [1] [2] [3] on a drive shaft that matches with a groove in a mating piece and transfers torque to it, maintaining the angular correspondence between them. For instance, a gear mounted on a shaft might use a male spline on the shaft that matches the female spline on the gear.

7. Friction torque - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friction_torque

   Ball bearings are an example of an attempt to minimize the friction torque. [2] Friction torque can also be an asset in engineering. Bolts and nuts, or screws are often designed to be fastened with a given amount of torque, where the friction is adequate during use or operation for the bolt, nut, or screw to remain safely fastened.
