  2. Strain wave gearing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strain_Wave_Gearing

    Harmonic Drive SE strain wave gear set consisting of wave generator bearing (top left), flexspline cup (top right) and circular spline ring (bottom). Strain wave gearing (also known as harmonic gearing) is a type of mechanical gear system that uses a flexible spline with external teeth, which is deformed by a rotating elliptical plug to engage ...

  3. Synchronization gear - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronization_gear

    The synchronization gear of a Messerschmitt Bf 109 E1 is adjusted (January 1941). A wooden disk attached to the propeller is used to indicate where each round passes through the propeller arc. A synchronization gear (also known as a gun synchronizer or interrupter gear) was a device enabling a single-engine tractor configuration aircraft to ...

  4. Electric generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_generator

    Electric generator. U.S. NRC image of a modern steam turbine generator (STG). In electricity generation, a generator[ 1] is a device that converts motion-based power ( potential and kinetic energy) or fuel-based power ( chemical energy) into electric power for use in an external circuit. Sources of mechanical energy include steam turbines, gas ...

    Type. Game creation system, massively multiplayer online game. Roblox ( / ˈroʊblɒks / ROH-bloks) is an online game platform and game creation system developed by Roblox Corporation that allows users to program and play games created by themselves or other users.

  6. Gear - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gear

    Gear. Two intermeshing spur gears rotating at different velocity due to differing gear ratio. A gear[ 1][ 2] or gearwheel[ 3][ 4][ 5] is a rotating machine part typically used to transmit rotational motion and/or torque by means of a series of teeth that engage with compatible teeth of another gear or other part.

  7. Transmission (mechanical device) - Wikipedia

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

    A transmission (also called a gearbox) is a mechanical device which uses a gear set—two or more gears working together—to change the speed, direction of rotation, or torque multiplication/reduction in a machine. [1] [2] Transmissions can have a single fixed-gear ratio, multiple distinct gear ratios, or continuously variable ratios. Variable ...

  8. Synchronous motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronous_motor

    Synchronous motor. Miniature synchronous motor used in analog clocks. The rotor is made of permanent magnet. Small synchronous motor with integral stepdown gear from a microwave oven. A synchronous electric motor is an AC electric motor in which, at steady state, [ 1] the rotation of the shaft is synchronized with the frequency of the supply ...

  9. Non-circular gear - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-circular_gear

    Non-circular gear example Another non-circular gear. A non-circular gear (NCG) is a special gear design with special characteristics and purpose. While a regular gear is optimized to transmit torque to another engaged member with minimum noise and wear and with maximum efficiency, a non-circular gear's main objective might be ratio variations, axle displacement oscillations and more.
