rotating shaft in a sentence
Examples
- Vibration leads to failure when the " forcing frequency " of the machine's operation hits a resonant frequency of one or more moving parts, such as rotating shafts.
- The vertically acting sear acted on a piece called the tumbler, on the inside of the lock which was mounted on the same rotating shaft as the cock.
- While each pipe is being tested, one end is securely fixed and the other rests on a rotating shaft, the motion of which is indicated with a pointer.
- Currently a jet engine's rotor system-- which consists of blades attached to a central rotating shaft-- can be monitored by a magnetic sensor the size of a writing pen.
- Labyrinth seals are also found on pistons, which use them to store oil and seal against high pressure during compression and power strokes, as well as on other non-rotating shafts.
- Sufficient oil pressure ensures that the metal of the rotating shaft ( journal ) and the bearing shell can never touch, and wear is therefore confined to initial start-up and shutdown.
- This is the reason why any engine outputting its power on a rotating shaft is usually quoted, along with its rated power, the rotational speed at which that rated power is developed.
- The " teeth " of the labyrinth seal may be on the rotating shaft ( Teeth On Rotor-TOR ) or on the stator ( TOS ), or both, in an interlocking configuration.
- Labyrinth seals on rotating shafts provide non-contact sealing action by controlling the passage of fluid through a variety of chambers by centrifugal motion, as well as by the formation of controlled fluid vortices.
- The powered rotors of a tiltrotor ( sometimes called " proprotor " ) are mounted on rotating shafts or nacelles at the end of a fixed wing, and used for both lift and propulsion.
