2. Stuffing box - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuffing_box

   In a common type of stuffing box, rings of braided fiber, known as shaft packing or gland packing, form a seal between the shaft and the stuffing box. A traditional variety of shaft packing comprises a square cross-section rope made of flax or hemp impregnated with wax and lubricants. A turn of the adjusting nut compresses the shaft packing.

3. Hydraulic pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_pump

   Fluid flow in an external gear pump. A hydraulic pump is a mechanical source of power that converts mechanical power into hydraulic energy (hydrostatic energy i.e. flow, pressure). Hydraulic pumps are used in hydraulic drive systems and can be hydrostatic or hydrodynamic. They generate flow with enough power to overcome pressure induced by a ...

4. Clutch - Wikipedia

   This is an accepted version of this page This is the latest accepted revision, reviewed on 3 March 2025. Mechanical device that connects and disconnects two rotating shafts or other moving parts For other uses, see Clutch (disambiguation). Friction disk for a dry clutch A clutch is a mechanical device that allows an output shaft to be disconnected from a rotating input shaft. The clutch's ...

5. Hydraulic machinery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_machinery

   An exploded view of an external gear pump. Hydraulic pumps supply fluid to the components in the system. Pressure in the system develops in reaction to the load. Hence, a pump rated for 5,000 psi is capable of maintaining flow against a load of 5,000 psi. Pumps have a power density about ten times

6. Hydraulic cylinder - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_cylinder

   A hydraulic cylinder is the actuator or "motor" side of this system. The "generator" side of the hydraulic system is the hydraulic pump which delivers a fixed or regulated flow of oil to the hydraulic cylinder, to move the piston. There are three types of pump widely used: hydraulic hand pump, hydraulic air pump, and hydraulic electric pump.

7. Master cylinder - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_cylinder

   The most common vehicle uses of master cylinders are in brake and clutch systems.. In brake systems, the operated devices are cylinders inside brake calipers and/or drum brakes; these cylinders may be called wheel cylinders or slave cylinders, and they push the brake pads towards a surface that rotates with the wheel (this surface is typically either a drum or a disc, a.k.a. a rotor) until the ...

8. Plunger pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plunger_pump

   The power needed from the drive is proportional to the pressure and capacity of the pump. [1] Seals are an integral part of piston pumps and plunger pumps to separate the power fluid from the medium that is being pumped. A stuffing box or packing is used to seal the joint between the vessel where the medium is transferred and the plunger or ...

9. Hydraulic motor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_motor

   However, many hydraulic pumps cannot be used as hydraulic motors because they cannot be backdriven. Also, a hydraulic motor is usually designed for working pressure at both sides of the motor, whereas most hydraulic pumps rely on low pressure provided from the reservoir at the input side and would leak fluid when abused as a motor.
