friction wheel

The first attempt was with a leather faced disk and an iron friction wheel.

The earliest engines produced featured an innovative friction wheel drive to the generator.

The barrel is then set revolving at about ten revolutions a minute, the power being transmitted by a friction wheel.

Another type is launch is by friction wheels.

The balancing system used a pneumatic servo, rather than the friction wheels used in the earlier model.

The next set of wheels touch the sides of the rails are named side friction wheels.

Friction-feed paper folders do not work well with glossy paper as the friction wheel slips on the paper's surface.

In 1886 Albone applied his knowledge of low friction wheels to produce a strong, light weight pony trap.

Lopez was the singer of Friction Wheel).

A friction wheel launch consists of a series of high speed drive tires used in succession to propel the train forward.

The difference is that the Tug has a friction wheel, while the Disk-O is powered driven.

In 1828 he developed a friction wheel with outside bearings which established a distinctive pattern for railroad wheels for the next one hundred years or so.

A handful of wooden coasters use flanged wheels, similar to a rail car, eliminating the need for side friction wheels.

Most paper folders pull paper into the machine by use of a friction wheel; this grabs paper using friction.

Fell railway (friction wheels)

The entire unit was then mounted on a stainless steel pivot and rotated by a spring-loaded friction wheel pressing against the inner wall of the cylinder.

An example of a friction wheel launch is the Incredible Hulk Coaster at Universal's Islands of Adventure.

Roughly the same size as standard miniature ERTL vehicles, the toy had a plastic rider, on the motorcycle powered by a friction wheel.

Each wheel assembly has three wheels under friction wheels, tractor or running wheels, and side friction wheels.

Instead of the chain lift found on most roller coasters, Vekoma Junior Coasters usually use friction wheels to carry the train up the lift hill.

This fibrous friction wheel is splined to slide on a sleeve seventeen inches in diameter variably carried on a steel shaft thirteen inches in diameter.

Steel roller coasters have under friction wheels or up-stop wheels which hug the bottom of the rail, like their name implies they prevent the train from coming off the track.

Contrary to popular belief, the wheel spacing on the trains (the 'gaps' between the side friction wheels, up-stop wheels, and the track) adds little to the roughness of these rides.

In 1919, he patented the "Miller Under Friction Wheel," also called the "upstop wheel," which consisted of a wheel that ran under the track to keep the coaster cars from flying off.

Low friction wheels known as 'Whizzwheels' were introduced to keep up with the competition in September 1969 with the Ferrari 206 Dino Sports (344) finished in either red and white or yellow and black.
