What is Tendinitis? Tendinitis is inflammation of a tendon â a thick cord that attaches muscle to bone. Tendons act as pulleys to help muscles move a joint. Tendinitis commonly affects the shoulders, biceps, hands, wrists, thumbs and calves. Tendinitis often results from sports injuries or repetitive movements.
A centrifugal switch solves a problem inherent in single-phase AC electric motors: By themselves, they don't develop enough torque to begin turning from a dead stop. The centrifugal switch turns on a circuit, providing the needed boost to start the motor.hen you turn the motor on, the switch conducts electricity to a capacitor and an extra coil winding in the motor, increasing its starting torque. As the motor's revolutions per minute increase, the switch opens, as the motor no longer needs the boost.
How does a torque converter work? A torque converter is a fluid pump of sorts. Inside the donut-shaped housing is an impeller, which is driven by the engine. The impellerâs vanes create centrifugal force by pumping transmission fluid toward the outside of housing. The other key component inside a torque converter is the stator. Itâs located between the impeller (on the input side) and the turbine (on the output side). The stator incorporates a one-way clutch, which has the ability to redirect the fluid flow inside the converter.
