Record 2 2015-04-13

English

Subject field(s)
  • Precision Grinding
DEF

A grinding machine that produces a plane surface.

CONT

Surface grinders. Surface grinding is accomplished by holding one or several workpieces on either a rotary or a reciprocating horizontal table and passing them through the cutting path of a rotating grinding wheel. The wheel may be mounted in either a vertical or a horizontal plane. Surface grinders are classed according to the axis of the grinding wheel as horizontal or vertical. Horizontally mounted wheels grind on their peripheries; vertically mounted wheels grind on their circular faces.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Rectification (Usinage)
CONT

English

Subject field(s)
  • Flight Instruments and Equipment (Aeroindustry)
  • Aircraft Piloting and Navigation
  • Navigation Instruments
CONT

In the attitude indicator, the gyro wheel is mounted horizontally and spins about its vertical axis. It is mounted in a universal gimbal ring system, free about both the pitching and rolling axes of the airplane and is therefore able to remain spinning in a horizontal plane parallel to the true horizon, regardless of the rolling or pitching movements of the airplane around it.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Instruments et équipement de bord (Constructions aéronautiques)
  • Pilotage et navigation aérienne
  • Instruments de navigation
CONT

Le rotor de l'horizon artificiel est monté horizontalement et tourne autour de son axe vertical. Il est fixé à un système de cardan universel, libre autour des axes de tangage et de roulis. Il est donc capable de maintenir une rotation sur le plan horizontal, parallèle à l'horizon naturel, indépendamment des mouvements de roulis et de tangage exécutés par l'avion autour de lui.
