GEAR MESH [22 records]

Record 1 2024-01-12

English

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

... when we talk about the line of action, it is the line connecting the initial and final points of contact in a driving gear. In the simplest of terms, when two gears mesh, the first point of contact between them, which is called the initial point and is always on the addendum circle of the driven gear, and the final point of contact, which is always on the addendum circle of the driving gear, create a line. This tangent line, which goes through the pitch point, is the line of action.

OBS

line of action: designation standardized by ISO.

Subject field(s)
  • Collaboration with the FAO
  • Environmental Management
  • Commercial Fishing
DEF

The distribution of fishing mortality over the age (or length) composition of the fish population[,] determined by the type of fishing gear, area and seasonal distribution of fishing, and the growth and migration of the fish.

OBS

The exploitation pattern can be changed by :(1) modifications to the fishing gear characteristics, for example, increasing mesh or hook size;(2) modification of the mix of [gear] in a multigear fishery, for example introducing a new gear type aiming at a particular age range;(3) modification of the proportion of the removals taken by each gear in a multi gear fishery;([4]) change in fishing practice such as shift in area or time period fished(possibly as a result of a regulation such as a closed area or season).

Key term(s)
  • pattern of exploitation

French

Domaine(s)

DEF

Distribution de la mortalité par pêche sur toute la structure démographique du poisson, selon le type d'engin de pêche et la distribution spatio-temporelle de la pêche, ainsi que par la croissance et les migrations du poisson.

OBS

[Le mode d'exploitation est] l'effet combiné de la sélectivité des engins et de la disponibilité du poisson. Ce mode peut être altéré par des modifications des engins, par exemple une augmentation des dimensions du maillage ou des hameçons, ou un changement du taux de ponction des engins qui exploitent le poisson (par exemple, filet maillant, chalut, ligne et hameçon). Les modes peuvent aussi être modifiés par l'évolution des pratiques de pêche, telles que le fait d'éviter les zones où se trouvent les juvéniles.

CONT

To eliminate the noise developed in the old spur-tooth type of gears used in the sliding gear transmission, the automotive manufacturers developed the constant-mesh transmission that contains helical gears. In this type of transmission, certain countershaft gears are constantly in mesh with the main shaft gears. The main shaft meshing gears are arranged so that they cannot move endwise. They are supported by roller bearings that allow them to rotate independently of the main shaft.

constant mesh: term officially approved by the Lexicon Project Committee (New Brunswick).

Blocking net : This is one of the main fishing devices used in joint fishing. It has several functions. At the start of the harvest, all escape routes are blocked with blocking nets to form an enclosure. Blocking nets are usually set in combination with trammel nets and other fishing gear to force the fish to aggregate in the enclosure... If the mesh size and twine diameter of the net are designed to suite the morphology of Elopichthys bambusa, the net can be used to block fish and to eliminate predators...
