HANDLING GEAR [16 records]

Record 1 2022-05-16

English

Subject field(s)
  • Collaboration with the FAO
  • Types of Ships and Boats
  • Commercial Fishing
CONT

Handliners are typically small to medium sized vessels... without any special features for gear handling. In contrast to many other commercial fishing vessels, most handliners are undecked vessels, meaning that they lack any covered compartments or a covered hull.

Domaine(s)
  • Collaboration avec la FAO
  • Types de bateaux
  • Pêche commerciale
CONT

Ligneurs à ligne à main. Les lignes à main sont mises en œuvre à partir de bateaux, pirogues et autres petites embarcations qui ne disposent d'aucun appareil spécifique pour la manœuvre des engins.

CONT

Fishery research vessel. These vessels are mainly engaged in fish stock assessment, experimental fishing using various gear and in fish handling/storage experiments. The size of fishery research vessels depend on the area of operation and on research programmes.

Record 5 2018-03-22

English

Subject field(s)
  • Steering Systems (Motor Vehicles and Bicycles)
CONT

Active steering gives drivers more precise handling and tracking : this ensures that their automobiles are more mobile and agile even on twisting roads. A planetary gear is integrated with the steering column; depending on the situation, the feature varies the angle of steering determined by the user at the wheel(superimposed steering). It increases the steering angle at lower and mid-range speeds; by contrast, at higher speeds(e. g. on motorways), the steering angle is reduced. When parking, the active steering feature makes it easier to manoeuvre by amplifying the movements of the steering wheel.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Direction (Véhicules automobiles et bicyclettes)
DEF

Système de pointe [qui] associe l'électronique et la mécanique pour faire varier le rapport de démultiplication de la direction dans les conditions normales de conduite à basse et moyenne vitesse.

OBS

Mise au point conjointement par BMW et ZF, elle permet à la servodirection de s'ajuster aux besoins du conducteur. Ainsi, pour améliorer la manœuvrabilité à basse vitesse, la servodirection devient très directe et n'exige que deux tours de volant pour passer d'une butée à l'autre. Idéal pour garer la voiture. Par contre, à haute vitesse, la servodirection redevient plus «habituelle», avec cinq tours de volant la menant d'une butée à l'autre.

Record 10 2002-07-03

English

Subject field(s)
  • Transmission Systems (Motor Vehicles and Bicycles)
CONT

A variation of the CVT [continuously variable transmission] is the IVT or toroidal transmission, where a pair of rollers rotate between an input and an output disc. Modifying the angle of the rollers changes the gear ratio. This transmission system is capable of handling higher torque while providing greater driving comfort and faster gear ratio changes. However, it is limited by disadvantages such as increased cost, installation space, and weight. However, Getrag is already working on IVTs for BMW.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Transmission (Véhicules automobiles et bicyclettes)
OBS

Les compagnies Fendt, ZF, Claas, Steyr (Case IH) et John Deere se sont lancées dans le développement et la commercialisation de transmissions qui offrent une variation de vitesse infinie entre 0 et la vitesse maximum. Peu importe le manufacturier, le secret de ce concept réside dans l'utilisation simultanée d'un système pompe-moteur hydrostatique et d'un train planétaire. [...] [Le rôle du train planétaire] est de combiner la puissance du moteur à celle de l'hydrostatique et de l'acheminer aux roues. La vitesse dépend de la contribution de l'hydrostatique.
