Damper winding. Bars and rings of the damper (amortisseur) winding of an AC generator (General Electric, early 20th century). Note the gaps in the cage along the quadrature axes. The damper winding (also amortisseur winding[ 1]) is a squirrel-cage -like winding on the rotor of a typical synchronous electric machine.
Harmonic balancer lower pulley on a four-cylinder engine. A harmonic damper is a device fitted to the free (accessory drive) end of the crankshaft of an internal combustion engine to counter torsional and resonance vibrations from the crankshaft. This device must be an interference fit to the crankshaft in order to operate in an effective manner.
Installation in rear suspension. André Hartford dampers were made in four sizes, according to vehicle weight and intended use. These were the combination of two disk diameters: 3 + 1 ⁄ 4 inches (83 mm) and 4 + 1 ⁄ 2 inches (110 mm) and as either single or multiplate designs. Single dampers had two friction surfaces: a single arm on one ...
Shock absorber. Miniature oil-filled Coilover shock components for scale cars. A shock absorber or damper is a mechanical or hydraulic device designed to absorb and damp shock impulses. It does this by converting the kinetic energy of the shock into another form of energy (typically heat) which is then dissipated.
Damper (flow) Opposed blade dampers in a mixing duct. A damper is a valve or plate that stops or regulates the flow of air inside a duct, chimney, VAV box, air handler, or other air-handling equipment. A damper may be used to cut off central air conditioning (heating or cooling) to an unused room, or to regulate it for room-by-room temperature ...
July 22, 2024 at 10:13 PM. ZURICH (Reuters) -Computer mouse maker Logitech International raised its full-year sales and profit outlook on Tuesday, encouraged by strong quarterly growth. The Swiss ...
A transmission tower (also electricity pylon, hydro tower, or pylon) is a tall structure, usually a lattice tower made of steel that is used to support an overhead power line. In electrical grids, transmission towers carry high-voltage transmission lines that transport bulk electric power from generating stations to electrical substations, from ...
Steering damper. The steering damper or steering stabiliser is a damping device designed to inhibit an undesirable, uncontrolled movement or oscillation of a vehicle steering mechanism, a phenomenon known in motorcycling as the death wobble. The stabilizer absorbs unwanted energy in the side to side motion allowing the forks and shocks to work ...
