Tapered roller bearings can be fixed and preloaded using shims and an end cap. There is a setting procedure to ensure the desired preload is achieved and the amount of end play (axial clearance) is ...

A piston's function is to draw the air/fuel mixture into the cylinder, compress it into a more dense mixture, and then transfer the heat energy and pressure of the combustion process to the crankshaft ...

Heavy press fits should be avoided. Accuracy of mounting surfaces should be equal to accuracy of mating bearing surface. Misalignment for low torque and running accuracy should not exceed 1/4°.

The ability to produce smooth, precise, and accurate linear motion is key to many manufacturing and industrial processes. A variety of linear actuators can do the job including screw-type actuators ...
