Mechanical Definitions
|
Antifriction bearing : A bearing having the capability
of reducing friction effectively. |
Anvil : The machine part that absorbs the energy delivered
by a sharp force or below. It can also be reffered as stationary
end of a micrometer calliper. |
Apex : Apex is the highest point, peak, or tip of
any structure in terms of architecture or construction.

Automobile Engineering
|
Arc cutting : A group of cutting processes where severing
of metals is affected by melting with the heat of an arc between
an electron and base metal.
|
Arch Dam : It distributes the major parts of the forces
acting on it by arch action to the abutments in the rock forming
walls of the gorge in which is built. This kind of dams are
located in a narrow gorge with sound. In arch dam, stability
is obtained by a combination of arch and gravity action. |
Arrester : Any mechanical device used to stop or slow
up motion. |
Articulated type connecting rod : A type of rod used
on V, Y, X, or radial engines in which the crank end of the
rods is joined to a master rod. |
Automatic centre punch : A centre punch constructed
when pressure is applied a spring controlled hammer contained
within the handle is released with sufficient force to cause
the point to leave its mark on metal.
|
Automatic clutch : A clutch which can be operated by
vacuum from the intake manifold and controlled by the accelerator
pedal.
|
Automatic pilot : A group of units which when combined
with electrically and mechanically form a system capable of
automatically controlling the flight of an aircraft.
|
Automatic screw machine : A machine for the rapid and
accurate production of small parts such as screws, bolts,
bushings, etc. Material in the form of a bar is fed into position
to permit the necessary machining operations. After set up
it can be operation automatic.
