  2. Eccentric reducer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eccentric_reducer

    Eccentric reducers are used at the suction side of pumps to ensure air does not accumulate in the pipe. The gradual accumulation of air in a concentric reducer could result in a large bubble that could eventually cause the pump to stall or cause cavitation when drawn into the pump. Eccentric reducers exhibit a unique design with one side having ...

  3. Strapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strapping

    Banding machines like strapping machines allow the unitization and securing of products with a variety of different shapes and sizes. [ 5 ] Banding machines, however, are less damaging to the product being strapped, since the larger widths of bands available (20mm - 100mm) allow greater surface area that minimizes the harm on sensitive products.

  4. Slide rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slide_rule

    For example, aligning the rightmost 1 on the C scale with 2 on the LL2 scale, 3 on the C scale lines up with 8 on the LL3 scale. To extract a cube root using a slide rule with only C/D and A/B scales, align 1 on the B cursor with the base number on the A scale (taking care as always to distinguish between the lower and upper halves of the A scale).

  5. Tamping machine - Wikipedia

A tamping machine or ballast tamper, informally simply a tamper, is a self-propelled, rail-mounted machine used to pack (or tamp) the track ballast under railway tracks to make the tracks and roadbed more durable and level.

  6. Torque multiplier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torque_multiplier

    Torque multipliers are most often used when a compressed air powered impact wrench is unavailable due to remote locations without power, or where cost considerations require manually operated tools which do not require any power supply or power source of any kind.

  7. Bridgeport (machine tool brand) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridgeport_(machine_tool...

    The first Bridgeport milling machine (serial number 1) is on display at the Museum. [3] Due to the overall success of the company's milling machines, the term "Bridgeport" is often used to refer to any vertical milling machine of the same configuration, regardless of make. Many other companies have cloned the form.

  8. Strain wave gearing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strain_Wave_Gearing

    High gear reduction ratios are possible in a small volume (a ratio from 30:1 up to 320:1 is possible in the same space in which planetary gears typically only produce a 10:1 ratio). Disadvantages include a tendency for 'wind-up' (a torsional spring rate) in the low torque region. Strain wave gearing is commonly used in robotics [3] and ...

  9. Reducing machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reducing_Machine

    A Janvier reducing machine. A reducing machine was a type of pantograph lathe used until the 21st century to manufacture coin dies. Prior to the machine's introduction, designs were cut by hand into metal dies by a specialist engraver. The reducing machine changed this by allowing artists to create designs on a larger surface area and then have ...
