Glossary of mechanics

Alignment: adjustment of the wheels and tires of a vehicle for placing them in the correct position.

 

Alternator: generator that converts alternating current into electricity. It is responsible for loading constantly vehicle battery.

 

Antifreeze: product added to the cooling circuit of the car allows the water does not freeze at high temperatures.

 

Aspiration: mode of operation of a motor which propels the air thanks to the atmospheric pressure.

 

Automatic: exchange rate where the driver does not have to worry about moving the lever to change gear.

 

Battery: battery power that allows the booted vehicle's engine.

 

Bench: piece of the top engine in which the cylinders are located.

 

Biela: piece of the engine that transmits power through the piston to the crankshaft.

 

Board butt: deformable piece of material that closes tightly union between the engine block and the cylinder head.

 

Bóxer: engine cylinder composed of horizontal with the crankshaft in the middle. In this type of engine cylinders are moved simultaneously unlike engines in V.

 

Brake fluid: special liquid transmitting pressure to the brake pedal cylinders wheels.

 

Burden: filling process of cylinders. It depends on the position of the accelerator.

 

Caja del diferencial: carcasa que tiene en su interior los piñones y el eje de los mismos. Fund differential: casing which has within it sprockets and the axis of the same.

 

Cams: levers that support the brake pads and is operated through a wire.

 

Carburetor: piece of the engine in that mix fuel and air.

 

Catalyst: element that transforms the unburned hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide in gas cleaner.

 

Chain distribution: chain through which the crankshaft drive one or more trees cam.

 

Chassis: basic structure of the vehicle to which are added all components.

 

Clutch:mechanism that controls the mechanical coupling of the engine and gearbox, to make changes underway.

 

Collector Admission: conduit through which the mixture aire-combustible go to the inlet of the butt.

 

Combustion: inflammation of the mixture aire-combustible inside the engine.

 

Compressor: device that compresses the air before entering the cylinder to burn more fuel.

 

Convergence: geometry by which the wheels of the front axle need to be more together than the rear.

 

Correa: fan strap that transmits the movement of the crankshaft to the water pump, fan and alternator.

 

Crankshaft: linchpin engine that transforms the linear motion in rotary piston. The latter is what's happening to the transmission system.

 

Crossbow: set of steel plates function to sleep.

 

Culata: piece that covers the engine cylinder block from the top. Contains channels through which air enters and exits inside the cylinders.

 

Cylinder Block: piece where the cylinders are located. Forms basis for the engine.

 

Cylinder: hollow cylindrical engine where the pistons are moving.

 

Damper: system that keeps the wheels in contact with the ground when they occur vertical displacement of the vehicle.

 

Detonation: phenomenon by which the mixture aire-combustible does not burn but it explodes.

 

Differential: gears connected to the motor shaft which offset the differences between wheels turning.

 

Dinamo: electrical generator that transmits continuous flow directly to the battery.

 

Direct injection: feeding system which introduces the fuel directly into the cylinder.

 

Distribution: set pieces governing the entry and exit of gas cylinders.

 

Distributor: device that transmits electrical current to the spark plugs.

 

Electric Motor: type of engine capable of transforming the electricity it receives from a series of batteries into mechanical energy.

 

Exhaust Manifold: ducts attached to the engine block through which the air passes burned inside the combustion chamber the exhaust system.

 

Four-stroke engine: engine type in which the work is carried out in four runs piston or two full turns of the crankshaft.

 

Fuel pump: element transmitting the fuel from tank to the carburetor or the injectors.

 

Fund transfer: transmission that transfers torque to the front and rear axles.. It is used in vehicles with four-wheel drive.

 

Gripado: damage caused when two pieces that are in continuous friction are welded one another because of the heat they produce.

 

Heater: element that is used to make the exchange of heat between the coolant and air.

 

Housing lower: piece that closes the engine and allowing collect oil for lubrication of the engine.

 

Housing: housing that contains all the pieces of the engine and protects.

Indirect Injection: feeding system which introduces fuel through an injector in the cylinder.

 

Lever: lever rotary valve train that applies movement from the tree cam to open an escape valve or admission.

 

Mangueta: piece in the front axle of the vehicle responsible for turning the wheels.

 

Midfielder: motor piece located at one end of the crankshaft responsible for accumulating the kinetic energy of this one.

 

Palier: piece transmitting the force of the engine to the drive wheels.

 

Piston: part mobile cylinder that transfers the force of the gases burned to the crank of the crankshaft.

 

Preview: tilting the axis of pivot that makes the leadership can turn the wheels.

 

Ralentí: number of revolutions per minute at which operates an engine when there is accelerating.

 

Sequential Change: exchange rate at which the driver must move a lever forward or backward to change gear.

 

Shirt cylinders: inside the cylinder in which the piston moves.

 

Spark Plug: element consisting of two electrodes, which create a spark that ignites the mixture of aire-combustible piston resulting booted from the vehicle.

 

Starter: mechanism cars carburetion that improve cold starting.

 

Suspension: set of elements which are used to absorb the irregularities of the terrain.

 

Thermostat: mechanism of cooling system which prevents the passage of coolant to the radiator.

 

Torque engine: the engine is the ability to perform a given job.

 

Tree cams: part of the engine that allows open and close valves and exhaust distribution. Actuation thanks to the movement of the crankshaft.

 

Two-stroke engine: engine type in which the work is performed in two runs piston or two full turns of the crankshaft.

 

Valve: device responsible for opening or closing the conduit through which enters the liquid or gas through to where they are installed.

 

Water pump: element that conveys water from the radiator to the engine through a centrifugal force.

 

Zapata: component of the brake drum responsible for the drum pressure to halt its movement.
