Capstan and Bowstring

Index Capstan and Bowstring

The Capstan and Bowstring is a mechanism that converts rotary motion into linear motion and vice versa. [1]

11 relations: Bowstring, Capstan (nautical), Capstan equation, Clutch, Pole lathe, Pulley, Rack and pinion, Steering, Tension (physics), Torque, Universal joint.

Bowstring

A bowstring joins the two ends of the bow stave and launches the arrow.

Capstan (nautical)

A capstan is a vertical-axled rotating machine developed for use on sailing ships to multiply the pulling force of seamen when hauling ropes, cables, and hawsers.

Capstan equation

The capstan equation or belt friction equation, also known as Eytelwein's formula, relates the hold-force to the load-force if a flexible line is wound around a cylinder (a bollard, a winch or a capstan).

Clutch

A clutch is a mechanical device which engages and disengages power transmission especially from driving shaft to driven shaft.

Pole lathe

A pole lathe is a wood-turning lathe that uses a long pole as a return spring for a treadle.

Pulley

A pulley is a wheel on an axle or shaft that is designed to support movement and change of direction of a taut cable or belt, or transfer of power between the shaft and cable or belt.

Rack and pinion

A rack and pinion is a type of linear actuator that comprises a pair of gears which convert rotational motion into linear motion.

Steering

Steering is the collection of components, linkages, etc.

Tension (physics)

In physics, tension may be described as the pulling force transmitted axially by the means of a string, cable, chain, or similar one-dimensional continuous object, or by each end of a rod, truss member, or similar three-dimensional object; tension might also be described as the action-reaction pair of forces acting at each end of said elements.

Torque

Torque, moment, or moment of force is rotational force.

Universal joint

A universal joint (universal coupling, U-joint, Cardan joint, Spicer or Hardy Spicer joint, or Hooke's joint) is a joint or coupling connecting rigid rods whose axes are inclined to each other, and is commonly used in shafts that transmit rotary motion.
