THROUGH ROD CYLINDER [4 records]

Record 1 2019-11-25

English

Subject field(s)
  • Engines (Motor Vehicles)
DEF

... the round plug that slides up and down in the cylinder and, through the connecting rod, forces the crankshaft to rotate.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Moteur (Véhicules automobiles)
DEF

Disque se déplaçant […] dans le cylindre d'un moteur à explosion […]

CONT

Le piston est l'organe mobile qui constitue l'une des parois de la chambre d'explosion. Il est animé d'un mouvement alternatif et rectiligne. Il détermine ainsi l'admission, la compression et l'échappement. Il transmet au vilebrequin, par l'intermédiaire de la bielle, l'effort exercé par la pression des gaz pendant la combustion et la détente.

Record 2 2010-04-15

English

Subject field(s)
  • Mechanical Transmission Systems
OBS

[A tie rod cylinder] is held together with four additional longitudinal rods, which extend the full length of the barrel and pass through holes in each corner of a square flange in the end caps of the cylinder. The ends of the rods are threaded and the whole assembly(cylinder barrel, ends, seats, etc.) is held together with lock washers and nuts. In some designs, instead of passing through holes in flanges in the ends of the cylinder, the tie rods are actually a long bolt. The threaded end of the bolts pass through a non-threaded hole in one cylinder end and screw into a tapped hole in the other.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Transmissions mécaniques
OBS

[Dans un vérin Joint Industry Conference, les] fonds sont de forme carrée et sont maintenus contre le cylindre par des tirants.

OBS

J. I. C. signifie Joint Industry Conference. Ce nom désigne [un groupe établissant une standardisation d'organes hydrauliques].

Record 3 2008-03-27

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aircraft Systems
OBS

Application of the brake pedal, which is linked to the master cylinder piston rod, causes the piston rod to push the piston forward inside the master cylinder casting. A slight forward movement blocks the compensating port, and the buildup of pressure begins. This pressure is transmitted to the brake assembly. When the brake pedal is released and returns to the "off" position, the piston return spring pushes the front piston seal and the piston back to full "off" position against the piston return stop. This again clears the compensating port. Fluid that was moved into the brake assembly and brake connecting line is then pushed back to the master cylinder by the brake piston which is returned to the "off" position by the pressure of the brake piston return springs. Any pressure or excess volume of fluid is relieved through the compensating port and passes back to the fluid reservoir. This prevents the master cylinder from locking or causing the brakes to drag.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Circuits des aéronefs
CONT

Afin de corriger la dérive et de se remettre dans l'axe de la piste, il faut réduire la poussée inverse au ralenti et relâcher les freins.

OBS

relâcher les freins : terme uniformisé par le Comité d'uniformisation de la terminologie aéronautique (CUTA) - Maintenance.

Record 4 2003-08-12

English

Subject field(s)
  • Mining Equipment and Tools
  • Underground Mining
DEF

An appliance to eliminate much of the labor when drilling with hand-held machines.

OBS

It consists of a steel cylinder and air-operated piston, the rod of which extends through the top end of the cylinder and supports the drilling machine.

Key term(s)
  • air leg support
  • airleg support

French

Domaine(s)
  • Outillage et équipement (Exploitation minière)
  • Exploitation minière souterraine
DEF

Engin de forage, léger, mobile, alimenté en air comprimé, utilisé surtout dans les chantiers souterrains.

CONT

Béquilles pneumatiques. La béquille est un long cylindre pneumatique dont la tige supporte le marteau à hauteur de son centre de gravité. Le marteau est lié à la béquille par un berceau sur lequel il oscille par 2 tourillons qui se logent dans 2 évidements du berceau. [...] Le piston exerce sur le marteau une poussée oblique dont la composante verticale supporte le poids du marteau tandis que l'autre sert à l'avancement.
