Understanding Mechanical Bearing
by
In the production and engineering world where machines are vastly used, a bearing is a mechanical component that is almost inevitable. The term is derived from the verb “to bear”. Bearings are found in all sorts of machines, but they mostly do their work in the subsurface. The mechanical component confines relative motion between two…
Major parts of pistons and their functions
by
in AutomobilePiston parts work together for the transformation of heat energy into mechanical work and vice versa. It moves upward and downward inside the cylinder in order to expand and contracts the air-fuel mixture. For this reason, a piston is inevitable in an internal combustion engine. Today we’ll be going deep into the major components of…
Working and effectiveness of a propeller shaft
by
in AutomobileA propeller shaft is a component in automobile engines that transmit power from the gearbox to the differential. it is also used in a boat and flying machine. The shaft is also known as a driveshaft, driving shaft, tail shaft, or even Cardan shaft. What is a Propeller Shaft? Propeller shafts are also said to…
Types of differential and their functions
by
in AutomobileThere are various types of differential suitable for a specific vehicle as they serve the purpose of transmitting the engine power to the wheels. In my previous post, the differential was explained to be a mechanism that transmits an engine’s torque to the wheels for the purpose of splitting the power, allowing the wheels to…
Various types of transmission system and their advantages
by
in AutomobileThere are different types of transmission systems on vehicles out there, having the same functions but different working principles. Having reached this stage on the transmission system, you probably know its basic fundamental. Well, it has been covered in an article that was explained to be the mechanism that transmits the power created by an…
Everything you need to know about automobile clutch
by
in AutomobileIn an automobile engine, there is a mechanical device that allows the engine to work at a stationary position It is called a clutch. The component engages and disengages power transmission especially from a driving shaft to the driven shaft. In order words, clutches connect and disconnect two rotating shafts (drive shafts or line shafts).…
Chassis Layout of a vehicle
by
in AutomobileThe chassis is where an automobile’s primary components are attached. These parts are arranged differently on the chassis depending on the type of vehicle, such as a car, truck, bus, or jeep. The placement of the engine is the primary change in this chassis’ design. The clutch, gearbox, propeller shaft, universal joints, differential, rear axle,…
Most Common Types Of Automotive Chassis
by
in AutomobileThe term “chassis” should be used to describe the portion of a car’s structure that supports weight. The vehicle’s horizontal segment is what joins the other parts of the construction together. The chassis is a group of mechanical parts that enable the drive unit to transmit power to the wheels. Additionally, the materials utilized in…
Understanding Car Chassis And Frame
by
in AutomobileThe vehicle’s engine and transmission loads, as well as other parts and people inside, are supported by the chassis. Maintaining the car’s shape helps keep it rigid and prevents deformation when it is in operation. The chassis is one of the most important parts of a vehicle that needs to be examined. It is a…
