top dead center is when the press has traveled upward as far as it can, when it reaches that point it will stop momentarily before it starts ot travel downward again. the point where it stops moving upward is called top dead center. the same goes for the downward movement . when the press moves down as far as it can, it will stop momentarily before it starts to move back up again, this point is called bottom bead center. I hope this answered your question....
top dead center
TDC would be "Top Dead Center". BTDC would be "Before Top Dead Center".
TDC is 0 degrees TDC, not 10 degrees BTDC which is before top dead center. ATDC is after top dead center. Both of these in relation to piston height are "below top dead center".
top dead center is what it stands for. top dead center
If you mean BTDC, it means Before Top Dead Center.
top dead center
Top dead center. It is when a piston is at its highest position.
The top dead cente
The 0 part is the degrees at which it is set. TDC stands for top dead center. Your engine times at 0 degrees at top dead center.
To Fire on the right order
The top dead center is when the piston has reached its peak and can go no farther up, it has reached its summit. The bottom dead center is when the piston is at its lowest point.
looking at the timing marks from the top left to right you have 5 degrees after top dead center, then top dead center then 5 degres 10, 15 then 20 befor top dead center. the timing is 7 degrees before top dead center
