GEAR GENERATOR [8 records]

Record 1 2022-05-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Gears and Friction Wheels
  • Descriptive Geometry
DEF

The distance along a common generator of their back cones, between the tip circle of a bevel gear and the root circle of its mating gear.

OBS

Domaine(s)
  • Engrenages et roues de friction
  • Géométrie descriptive

Record 2 2007-12-10

English

Subject field(s)
  • Landing Gear (Aeroindustry)
  • Aircraft Systems
CONT

To prevent overtravel of the landing gear, a dynamic brake relay within the relay box simultaneously breaks the power circuit to the motor winding in use and makes a complete circuit through the armature and the unused field winding. This causes the motor to act as a ’generator’ and the resultant electrical load on the armature stops the gear almost instantly.

Key term(s)
  • over-travel

Record 5 2005-09-19

English

Subject field(s)
  • Electric Generating Systems
  • Diesel Motors
CONT

A diesel genset is in essence a standalone electricity generator powered by a diesel engine. Diesel gensets range in size and power output from 1 kVA to over 7500 kVA and are manufactured by assembling the components(of which the most important are a diesel engine, alternator, switching gear and assorted control systems) on a platform. The assembled unit is often enclosed in a casing which can be sound-proofed(by the manufacturer adding sound attenuation materials to the casing). Where no bulk fuel supply is available, diesel oil tanks will also be added allowing the diesel genset to be operated in locations where there is no regular supply of diesel oil.

OBS

The term "diesel generator" is elliptical and more familiar than "diesel generator set."

Key term(s)
  • diesel gen set
  • diesel engine gen-set
  • diesel engine gen set

French

Domaine(s)
  • Groupes électrogènes
  • Moteurs diesel
OBS

Les termes «génératrice diesel» et «génératrice à moteur diesel» sont des formes elliptiques et familières du terme «groupe électrogène diesel».

OBS

On écrirait mieux «diésel».

OBS

diésel : Cette graphie, puisée des Rectifications de l'orthographe recommandées par le Conseil supérieur de la langue française, est attestée dans le Petit Robert (2004).
