Record 2 2023-09-05

English

Subject field(s)
  • Mechanical Components
  • Aeronautical Engineering and Maintenance
  • Engines (Motor Vehicles)
DEF

A circular disc fixed on a revolving shaft, some distance out of centre, working freely in a ring (the eccentric strap), which is attached to a rod called an eccentric rod, by means of which the rotating motion of the shaft is converted into a backward-and-forward motion.

CONT

Because an eccentric can be attached anywhere along a shaft it is unnecessary to form any part of the shaft into a crank. Eccentrics are seldom used to transmit large forces because friction loss would be high; they are commonly used to drive the valve gears of engines.

Key term(s)
  • excentric

French

Domaine(s)
  • Composants mécaniques
  • Aérotechnique et maintenance
  • Moteur (Véhicules automobiles)

Organe composé d'un disque dont l'axe de rotation n'occupe pas le centre, qui permet de transformer un mouvement de rotation en mouvement rectiligne alternatif.

CONT
