What is a nutating engine?

a nutating engine is a new, though slightly similar to the wankel engine, where "a disk spins on a Z-shaped shaft that makes the disk oscillate. In a Wankel engine, a (roughly) triangular-shaped rotor spins on a straight shaft." (Corrected below)source: http://blog.wired.com/cars/2008/06/pistons-we-dont.htmlCorrection: Actually, the disk doesn't spin at all. Only the shaft spins. If you look at the diagrams in the reference link, there's actually an "anti-rotation pin" sticking out of the disk to prevent that!The above should read: "a disk wobbles (like a spun coin coming to a stop) because it's riding on a z-shaped shaft." Its edge sweeps the spherical wall of the chamber, and its conical sides meet the conical ends of the chamber.


What is shaft alignment of a pump?

The alignment of a pump is the process of making sure the pump shaft and prime mover (electric motor, engine,ect.)shaft are lined up perfect both horazonally and verticaly to ensure there is no binding on the coupling.


What is a rotating shaft?

There are many, many examples. Generally, rotating shafts are used to transmit power from a producer to a user device. A few examples: Drive shaft in an automobile- transmits power from the engine to the wheels. Propeller shaft in a ship- transmits power form the engine to the propeller. Pump shaft- transmits power from a motor to the pump impeller. Rotating shafts are all over the place. You can find dozens of examples in the typical appliances in any typical home.


Where thrust bearing located in steam turbine?

The thrust pads will be there at the front or non drive end of the turbine side....These are usually used to limit the axial displacement of the rotor( Means to minimize the movement of rotor axially in order to maintain the axial clearance between the moving blades and the fixed blades of steam turbine rotor).....


What is eccentricity in steam turbine shaft?

Eccentricity is the deflection in the shaft away from truly straight. The turbine shaft when not turning will settle into a bowed shape (measured in thousandths of an inch), this is the deflection from straight. Large turbines are placed on turning gears as they are cooled or warmed up to minimize this deflection. As a turbine is started this eccentricity produces vibration as the deflection changes rotational position, if the turbine is started up too quickly this deflection will increase as a result of inertia trying to deflect the weight of the deflected shaft outward. Eventually the deflection, as a result of rolling the turbine up slowly, will straighten to the true center of the turbine shaft.

What happens when a distributor goes out?

The distributor shaft wears out the bushings and the shaft begins to wobble. The rotor eventually makes contact with the distributor cap contacts, damaging the cap and rotor and finally the engine quits running. During the last stage you will hear the distributor make a clicking noise.

How do you remove hall effect sensor in 1998 vw jetta?

First remove distributor cap. loosen the bolt that holds down distributor and take holding plate of MAKE SURE YOU MARK DISTRIBUTOR POSITION AGAINST BLOCK AND ROTOR AGAINST DISTRIBUTOR HOUSING. pull out distributor from engine. now take out the pin that holds the gear on the distributor rotor shaft take the gear of the shaft, position of gear on shaft is not important. now from the the top of the distriburator pull the rotor shaft out and wow la. camshaft position sensor is ready to be taken out. To install just reverse the steps and when you ready to install the gear on shaft make sure that the gears is against the distributor housing and not on the tip of the shaft (up side down). installing distributor on engine. install the the rotor on shaft and turn it about 20 degrees clock wise so when you push the distributor into the engine is going to turn back to the original position.
