An electronic weighing machine has become very popular instrument for weight measurement in various industrial and commercial applications due to its high accuracy, fast response, stability, ruggedness and ease of operation.
What is Abrasive Flow Finishing (AFF)? Process, Diagram, Working Principle & Applications
Abrasive flow finishing is a process of finishing the surfaces by using a semisolid abrasive which flows over the surfaces in order to remove the small quantity of material.
What is Bladder Accumulator? Construction, Diagram, Working & Advantages
In Bladder Accumulator a gas charged bag/bladder is fixed in a shell of accumulator. When pressurised oil enters into accumulator, the gas bag compresses. When system requires oil under pressure, the oil goes out and bladder expands.
What is Hydraulic Accumulator? Types, Symbol, Construction, Diagram & Working
The hydraulic accumulator stores excess hydraulic energy and on demand makes the stored energy available to the system. The function of accumulator is similar to the function of flywheel in the IC engine/steam engine or capacitor in the electric circuit. Since accumulators are having the ability to store excess energy and also having ability to release the energy to system when system is in bad need of energy, the hydraulic systems using accumulators are most efficient systems because there is very little energy loss.
What is Friction Welding? Process, Diagram, & Advantages
Figure 1: Friction Welding.
In friction welding, the heat is obtained by the friction between the surfaces of the two parts which are to be joined. These parts are held under pressure, where one part is stationary and other part is made to rotate at high speed. The welded joint is obtained hen a force on the stationary part is applied, after stopping the rotation of the part (see Figure 1).
What is Double Acting Hydraulic Cylinder? Construction, Diagram & Working
Figure 1: Double Acting Hydraulic Cylinder.
In double acting Hydraulic cylinder, the pressurized liquid is admitted on both sides of the piston alternately. Work is performed during forward motion as well as backward motion of the piston (see Fig. 1). Double acting Hydraulic cylinders are most commonly used hydraulic cylinders in industrial applications. In these cylinders, the pressure is applied on both end ports to obtain power in both directions. They are also termed differential cylinders, as they have different extension and retraction areas.
What is Sliding Mesh Gearbox? Construction, Diagram & Working
Figure 1: Sliding Mesh Gearbox
Construction & Working of Sliding Mesh Gearbox
The sliding mesh gearbox consists of three shafts namely input shaft, output shaft and lay shaft. The input and output shafts are in line, whereas lay shaft is parallel to them and lies below them. The function of input shaft is to take power from engine and transmit to output shaft through a series of gears mounted on layshaft. The function of output shaft is to transmit power obtained from input shaft to the propeller shaft for onward transmission to road wheels. Schematic layout of sliding mesh gear box is shown in Figure 1.
What is Eddy Current Sensor? Working Principle, Diagram, Construction & Applications
Eddy current is circular current which is induced by a conductor when it is kept in a changing magnetic field. Eddy current sensors are used as proximity sensors to detect the presence or absence of non-magnetic conductive material. It is a non-contact sensor (see Figure 1).
