What is the purpose of gudgeon pin?

I believe a gudgeon pin is what the British call a connecting rod pin (or wrist pin or piston pin) in a reciprocating assembly, (piston, connecting rod, crank ) It connects the piston head to the connecting rod.


What are the parts of hydraulic cylinders?

There are many parts to hydraulic cylinders. The main parts are the barrel, the base, the head, the piston, the piston rod, and numerous seals. They operate using hydraulic fluid.


Where do we use sleeve and cotter joint?

It is used in the connection of piston rod to the cross head of the steam engine, In the foundation bolt, Connecting two halves of fly wheel, Joining of tail rod with piston rod of a wet air pump


What is the maximum possible clearance between shaft with radial O ring and cylinder to hold 5 bar hydrostatic pressure?

It depends on the diameters of the shaft and the O-ring. Whether or not it rotates, or slides, how many O-rings or seals are on the shaft, and the thickness of the cylinder head. Consult the manufacturer of the cylinder for the proper clearances required.


How balance disc in boiler feed pump works?

The balancing disk is fixed to and rotates with the shaft. It is separated by a small axial clearance from the balancing disk head, or balancing sleeve, which is fixed to the casing. The leakage through this clearance flows into the balancing chamber and from there either to the pump suction or to the vessel from which the pump takes its suction. The back of the balancing disk is subject to the balancing chamber back pressure, whereas the disk face experiences a range of pressures. These vary from discharge pressure at its smallest diameter to back pressure at its periphery. The inner and outer disk diameters are chosen so that the difference between the total force acting on the disk face and that acting on its back will balance the impeller axial thrust. If the axial thrust of the impellers should exceed the thrust acting on the disk during operation, the latter is moved toward the disk head, reducing the axial clearance between the disk and the disk head. The amount of leakage through the clearance is reduced so that the friction losses in the leakage return line are also reduced, lowering the back pressure in the balancing chamber. This lowering of pressure automatically increases the pressure difference acting on the disk and moves it away from the disk head, increasing the clearance. Now the pressure builds up in the balancing chamber, and the disk is again moved toward the disk head until an equilibrium is reached. To assure proper balancing in disk operation, the change in back pressure in the balancing chamber must be of an appreciable magnitude. Thus, with the balancing disk wide open with respect to the disk head, the back pressure must be substantially higher than the suction pressure to give a resultant force that restores the normal disk position. This can be accomplished by introducing a restricting orifice in the leakage return line that increases back pressure when leakage past the disk increases beyond normal. The disadvantage of this arrangement is that the pressure on the seal chamber is variable, a condition that may be injurious to the life of the seal and therefore should avoided.

What is clearance volume of engine?

The volume between the engine head and piston when the piston is in the head dead center piston R - is expressed in cubic inches


What is bump clearance?

It is the space between the top of the piston and the bottom of the cylinder head. Great care should be used when putting an engine back together to make sure the bump clearance is not 0 so that the piston will not hit the head cylinder.


What causes a 2E tazz to bend the head valves?

the pistons most likely have zero clearance in the between the piston heads and the valves. When the timing goes out on a vehicle with zero clearance, the piston heads hit the valve heads, thereby bending the valve stems.


What is meant by the term clearance volume of an engine?

Clearance volume usually refers to the volume above the piston(to the top of the block) if the piston is receased( .30'' in the hole). + vavle relief in cc's+ the volume of the head gasket.


What is the gap in spark plug of petrol engine?

There is a gap between the spark plug and the top face of the piston called the clearance volume. It serves 2 purposes. 1. The fuel before and after combustion has to occupy some volume and this is small gap is for that space for it to burn. 2. To avoid unnecessary contact between the piston head and the spark plug.


What is zero clearance engine?

In an engine, the piston's go up and the valve's that are adjacent to that piston go up. When the piston goes down the adjacent valves go down. This is achieved by the timing belt or chain and the engine timing being set correctly. If the belt or chain breaks, the pistons still go up and down, but the valve's stop moving. On a non clearance engine, the piston will go up and hit the valves, resulting in bent valves and a now needed head job. In a clearance engine, the top of the piston has an inset cut into it that is just enough room to avoid hitting the valves.


What is compressor head as it relates to discharge pressure?

the head doesnt effect the output pressure of a compressor package but the size of the piston and the amount of clearence and volume between the piston and head changes your output psi
