Company Profile:
Automatic transmissions operate by fluid pressures to engage and disengage the transmission's gears from the engine.
Industry:Automotive
This device in manual transmission-equipped vehicles prevents the vehicle's starter motor from engaging unless the clutch is depressed. This prevents the vehicle from starting while in gear.
Industry:Automotive
The system that provides the spark to ignite the engine's air/fuel mixture. System components may include the battery, coil, distributor, ignition switch, spark plugs and wiring.
Industry:Automotive
A thick steel wire that has been coiled and heat-treated to form a very strong spring. Commonly used in light truck suspension systems, coil springs are space-efficient and can vary in stiffness, even within the same spring (i.e., stiff at the top and not stiff at the bottom). The coil springs on a given vehicle largely define how that truck's ride and handling will feel.
Industry:Automotive
Sway occurs in every conventional trailer system because of the joint between the trailer and tow vehicle. Included sway refers to the longitudinal axis of the towing vehicle compared to the longitudinal axis of the trailer with an intersection at the hitch ball.
Industry:Automotive
Area located on the top of the cylinders, where the burning of the engine's air/fuel mixture occurs.
Industry:Automotive
Each wheel of an independent suspension is sprung separately so that a bump affecting one does not affect the others.
Industry:Automotive
A measurement of how tightly the air-fuel mixture is compressed or squeezed within the cylinder by the piston. This can be determined by taking the total volume of the cylinder when the piston is at its lowest point (Bottom Dead Center, or BDC) and dividing it by the volume when the piston is at its highest point (Top Dead Center, or TDC). In general, higher compression ratios yield greater power.
Industry:Automotive
The system that delivers the air/fuel mixture to the engine's cylinders.
Industry:Automotive
Metal rods that connect the pistons to the crankshaft.
