A harmonic balancer is not to balance the reciprocating loads or centrifugal loads (unless its for external balanced engine) that nice big weight ("inertia ring") is to BALANCE the torsional vibrations.PackardV8 wrote:As long as we're discussing correct terminology, that "huge ring" is usually called an inertia ring. It's usually neutral balanced and any external balance weight is most often found cast into the hub.exhaustgases wrote:Oh and there is a weight in all rubber bonded harmonic balancers it is the huge ring and would not balance the vibrations if it was not there.
Dang, I have seen it printed that way since the earliest days. Had to look it up. Never realized there is a distinct difference.Circlotron wrote:When talking about high temperatures and combustion some people say disassociation instead of dissociation.
I get a kick out of that one too. The commutative property of multiplication means either way is totally right, but for whatever reason "pound feet" sounds weird to me. I always heard "oil galley" too, until I started branching out and researching from other places, and started seeing "gallery". The rationale behind "gallery" definitely makes it seem like the more appropriate term.exhaustgases wrote: Its just like the fanaticism between "foot pounds of torque" and "pounds feet of torque" both terms mean the exact same thing.
"irregardless" is in all the new dictionaries. If an incorrect word gets used enough ... it becomes an actual word.Zmechanic wrote:
Also, if you want to see a fun trick, hook me up to blood pressure cuff and say the abomination "irregardless" around me and watch the magic as it shoots through the roof! That butchery of a word makes me physically angry.
Not until they are loaded and then since its a spring causing the load its called? But then a metallurgist may argue the point that yes the material is loaded, that is what makes metal what it is, the internal or molecular stresses.joe 90 wrote:How about "spring pressure".
That one comes up on here many times.
Springs don't have pressure.
