  • Forklift Differentials
    Forklift Differentials Forklift Differential - A mechanical device which could transmit rotation and torque through three shafts is known as a differential. At times but not at all times the differential would use gears and will operate in two ways: in automobiles, it provides two outputs and receives one input. The other way a differential works is to combine two inputs in order to produce an output that is the sum, average or difference of the inputs. In wheeled vehicles, the differential enables all tires to be able to rotate at various speeds while supplying equal torque to all of them. The differential is intended to drive a pair of wheels with equivalent torque while enabling them to rotate at various speeds. While driving around corners, a car's wheels rotate at different speeds. Several vehicles such as karts operate without using a differential and use an axle instead. If these vehicles are turning corners, both driving wheels are forced to spin at the same speed, normally on a common axle which is driven by a simple chain-drive mechanism. The inner wheel should travel a shorter distance compared to the outer wheel while cornering. Without using a differential, the effect is the outer wheel dragging and or the inner wheel spinning. This puts strain on drive train, causing unpredictable handling, difficult driving and damage to the tires and the roads. The amount of traction necessary to move the car at whichever given moment depends on the load at that moment. How much drag or friction there is, the car's momentum, the gradient of the road and how heavy the automobile is are all contributing factors.

  • Technical Engineering Guide
    TTEECHCHNINICALCAL EN ENGGINEEINEERRININGG 89 www.diamondchain.com TECHNICAL ENGINEERING General Drive Considerations One of the main advantages of the roller chain drive is its ability to perform well under widely varying conditions. Despite this ability, there are a number of rules of good design practice which, if considered early in the design pro- cess, will enable the user to obtain desirable results. Basic dimensions and minimum ultimate tensile requirements for single-pitch, double-pitch and attachment roller chains are specified by various standards organizations worldwide. ASME/ANSI, The American Society of Mechanical Engineers and The American National Standards Institute, defines dimensions such as: pitch, roller width, roller diameter, link plate height, link plate thickness and pin diameter. The primary purpose of the standard is to ensure that manufacturers will produce chains and sub-assemblies that are similar dimensionally and therefore interchangeable. In addition, the standard does offer the user some assurance of quality by defining a minimum ultimate tensile strength for each model of chain. However, tensile strength is not always a valid method to differentiate one manufacturer’s product from another. It is very important to remember that dimensional standardization does not define quality or performance characteristics. Minimum Ultimate Tensile Strength: Minimum Ultimate Tensile Strength, MUTS, is the static load required to break the chain. Tensile strength values shown in this catalog are not allowable working loads. Load or tension applied 1 to the chain in service should never exceed ⁄6 th of the UTS. If exceeding this value is necessary for a specific applica- tion, contact Diamond Chain.

DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF A MECHANICAL DRIVELINE WITH GENERATOR FOR AN ATMOSPHERIC ENERGY HARVESTER A Thesis Presented to the Graduate School of Clemson University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science Mechanical Engineering by Sneha Ganesh December 2017 Accepted by: Dr. John Wagner, Committee Chair Dr. Yue (Sophie) Wang Dr. Todd Schweisinger ABSTRACT The advent of renewable energy as a primary power source for microelectronic devices has motivated research within the energy harvesting community over the past decade. Compact, self-contained, portable energy harvesters can be applied to wireless sensor networks, Internet of Things (IoT) smart appliances, and a multitude of standalone equipment; replacing batteries and improving the operational life of such systems. Atmospheric changes influenced by cyclical temporal variations offer an abundance of harvestable thermal energy. However, the low conversion efficiency of a common thermoelectric device does not tend to be practical for microcircuit operations. One solution may lie in a novel electromechanical power transformer integrated with a thermodynamic based phase change material to create a temperature/pressure energy harvester.
