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.
What does a torque converter do? Automotive torque converters connect an engine to an automatic transmission and multiply engine torque for increased low-speed acceleration. The converter housing bolts to the flexplate and spins at the same speed as the engine. On the output side, the torque converterâs turbine is attached to the transmissionâs input shaft. Inside, the converter has a stator assembly and fluid. The stator redirects fluid flow to create the torque multiplication.
