A support in which a shaft rotates?
Bearing.
What is the application of keys in mechanical engineering?
Keys are used while joining two shafts using couplings. When the shaft rotates at speeds greater than what it is designed for, The key purposefully undergoes failure and thus prevents damage to both the shaft and the coupling.
What is a cam mechanism?
A cam is an elliptical or tear-drop shaped form mounted to a rotating shaft. It is used to transfer rotating motion to linear motion. As the shaft rotates, the cam pushes on a rod that moves it back and forth as the rod follows the contour of the cam.
How does the drilling machine operates?
A motor rotates a shaft that carries a drill. -A much better explanation is available if you specify WHICH 'drilling machine' -rather than such a broad definition.
What is the functional difference between a ball valve and a butterfly valve?
A ball valve is a ball with a hole through it that rotates around its axis to expose the hole for flow or the solid wall of the ball for no flow. The butterfly valve is a flat piece that is supported in the middle by a shaft that opens or closes when the shaft is rotated.
What is the shaft upon a wheel rotates?
axle
What is the shaft upon which a wheel rotates?
axle
How does the radius of the wheel compare with the radius of the axle?
The radius of the wheel is typically larger than the radius of the axle. The wheel is where the tire is mounted and is what comes in contact with the ground, while the axle is the shaft on which the wheel rotates.
A support in which a shaft rotates?
Bearing.
What is one example of a wheel and axle used everyday?
One example of a wheel and axle used everyday is a car. The wheel (tire) rotates around the axle (shaft) when the car is in motion, allowing the vehicle to move efficiently.
What is the best wheel to axle ratio with the best distance?
A wheel and axle is a lever that rotates in a circle around a center point of fulcrum.The larger wheel (or outside) rotates around the smaller wheel (axle).Bicycle wheels,ferris wheels and gears are all examples of a wheel and axle.Wheels can also have a solid shaft with the center core as the axle such as screwdriver or drill bit or the log in a log rolling contest.
What rotates on an electric motor?
The part that rotates inside of an electric motor is called the rotor.
What simple machine is the doorknob?
The doorknob is a type of wheel and axle simple machine. When you turn the knob, the wheel (the knob itself) rotates around the axle (the shaft it's attached to), allowing you to easily open or close the door.
What bar or shaft helps a wheel turn?
The bar or shaft which helps a wheel to turn is called an axle.
How does hyrdro electric generate electricity?
hydro electric means electricity is produced by the using the Water(hydro). The water is made to fall forcely on the Turbine wheel it makes the turbine to rotate. Turbine is coupled to the Generator shaft. when the turbine rotates the generator rotates and emf is induced in it and the ourput is taken from it
What is a wheel or axle?
A wheel is a round device that is fitted with a tire. The wheel rotates on the hub attached to the axle.
What planet has rings and rotates like a ferris wheel?
What planet has rings and rotates like a Ferris Wheel? I have only a simple one word answer to that question. Uranus.
