Record 2 2011-07-19

English

Subject field(s)
  • Pumps
  • Equipment (Oil and Natural Gas Extraction)
DEF

A pump that moves fluid by positive displacement, using a system of rotating vanes, gears, or lobes.

OBS

A machine of the gear, vane, or screw type, as opposed to a rotodynamic pump.

OBS

rotary pump: term standardized by ISO.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Pompes
  • Outillage (Extraction du pétrole et du gaz)
DEF

Pompe entraînée par un moteur rotatif et munie d'un dispositif de déplacement qui produit un flux continu, dans laquelle le fluide est refoulé sous l'action de pistons rotatifs ou d'autres éléments en rotation, sans faire appel cependant à la force centrifuge.

OBS

pompe rotative : terme normalisé par l'ISO.

Record 3 2008-05-13

English

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

Retractable landing gear may be retracted manually, electrically, or hydraulically. The main struts of retractable landing gear are mounted on trunnions and bearings so that they can easily be swung upward into the fuselage or wing. The retracting mechanism may be a jackscrew arrangement, an electric-motor-operated screw or gear system, or a hydraulic actuating cylinder connected to suitable linking devices.

OBS

Landing gear may be classified as either fixed or retractable, and it may also be classified according to arrangement on the aircraft. In this case we may say that the two principal arrangements are conventional and tricycle.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Circuits des aéronefs
  • Atterrisseur (Constructions aéronautiques)
OBS

rentrée du train : terme uniformisé par le Comité d'uniformisation de la terminologie aéronautique (CUTA) - Maintenance.

Record 4 2007-10-31

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aircraft Systems
DEF

Any toothed gearing together with its housing which is called a "gear case."

CONT

The landing gear of the BE-10 aircraft is a fully retractable tricycle configuration, driven by a 28-volt motor located on the forward side of the main spar. The main gear actuators are driven from the motor gearbox through torque shafts. The nose-gear actuator is driven by a duplex chain from a sprocket on the motor gearbox. The input shaft to the nose-gear actuator drives a series of rotating gears inside the actuator. These gears rotate a screw into and out of a lubricated aluminum-bronze alloy nut. The movement of the screw through the lubricated nut extends and retracts the nose landing gear.

Key term(s)
  • gear-box

French

Domaine(s)
  • Circuits des aéronefs
DEF

Transmission par engrenages avec son boîtier appelé «carter».

CONT

Le BE-10 est équipé d'un train tricycle escamotable entraîné par un moteur de 28 volts situé en avant du longeron principal. Les vérins de commande du train principal sont entraînés à partir de la boîte d'engrenages du moteur par l'entremise d'arbres de torsion. Le vérin de commande du train avant est entraîné par une chaîne double à partir d'un pignon sur la boîte d'engrenages du moteur.

OBS

boîte d'engrenages : terme uniformisé par le Comité d'uniformisation de la terminologie aéronautique (CUTA) - Maintenance.

Record 5 1998-06-30

English

Subject field(s)
  • Plastics Manufacturing
CONT

Planetary-gear extruders consist of a single screw that changes after a certain length into a helical gear. The toothed planetary screws are driven by the main screw, which intermeshes with them. They also intermesh with a fixed internally toothed barrel and are retained in the planetary roller system by a stop ring on the outlet side. They are used mainly to compound PVC formulations.

Key term(s)
  • planetary roller extruder

French

Domaine(s)
  • Plasturgie
CONT

Les extrudeuses [à engrenages] sont plutôt conçues pour servir de mélangeur que pour fabriquer des profilés. Elles sont formées de plusieurs trains d'engrenages hélicoïdaux placés verticalement dans un corps étanche chauffé par circulation d'huile. La machine est alimentée à la partie supérieure; la matière est entraînée par le premier train d'engrenages et prise en charge successivement par les autres jusqu'au filtre situé à la partie inférieure de corps.

Record 6 1988-06-20

English

Subject field(s)
  • Packaging Machinery and Equipment
  • Food Industries
CONT

The two main types of liquid fillers are volumetric and constant-level. For viscous liquids, pastes, and certain food products, the volumetric principle is the only practical method. In volumetric fillers there is a choice among the piston type, gear pump, worm screw pump, and weighing station.

OBS

Volumetric filling: With this technique the product fill amount is controlled to a volume rather than to a weight .... Volumetric systems are designed to measure and dispense a specific volume of product.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Machines et équipement d'emballage
  • Industrie de l'alimentation
DEF

Remplisseuse de liquides et de certains produits alimentaires réalisant l'emplissage au volume plutôt qu'au poids. Les systèmes d'emplissage les plus courants sont le système à godets, le système à piston fixe et le système à piston mobile.

Record 7 1986-09-30

English

Subject field(s)
  • Milling (Machine-Tooling)
CONT

This device, when engaged, eliminates the backlash(play) between the nut and the table leadscrew permitting the operation of climb(down) milling... Two independent nuts are mounted on the lead screw. These nuts engage a common crown gear which in turn meshes with a rack. Axial movement of the rack is controlled by the backlash eliminator engaging knob located on the front of the saddle. By turning the knob "in", the nuts are forced to move along the leadscrew in opposite directions, removing all backlash.
