crosshead

The other component comes from a separate source, usually the crosshead.

A three bar crosshead was added to the motion.

Each expansion link was driven from the crosshead on the opposite side of the engine.

They are unusually narrow and tall due to the addition of a crosshead bearing.

The primary lead motion is provided by the crosshead arm (9) and the union link (11).

The cylinder is between the crosshead and the crankshaft.

The air pump was driven from the crosshead.

Significant maintenance difficulties appeared, particularly with uneven forces wear on the crosshead guides.

They act as both piston and also as a cylindrical crosshead.

The air pumps were driven from each crosshead.

Table engines have the crosshead above the vertical cylinder and the crankshaft below.

The largest, most powerful engines in the world are slow speed, two stroke, crosshead diesels.

This required the use of a crosshead.

The air pumping cylinder is above the steam power cylinder and crosshead.

The bayonets slide through holes in a crosshead fastened on the shaft.

Long rods connect the crosshead to the crankshaft, on which is fixed the flywheel.

All screws are of the crosshead variety.

The driving pistons are rigidly connected to either side of the crosshead, so that they move in concert.

In this way, the transverse forces are applied only to the crosshead and its bearings, not to the piston itself.

To avoid unbalanced forces on the crosshead, these rods are usually paired and run either side of the cylinder.

Steeple engines place the crankshaft above the cylinder, between it and the crosshead.

This was a return connecting rod engine, with the crankshaft between the crosshead and cylinder.

Henry Eckford compound engine was of the vertical crosshead type.

The crosshead was destroyed during the time of the English Civil Wars.
