TransducerAn electronic device that converts a minute amount of one form of energy to another. A moving wheel with a tooth pattern can induce a voltage in a coil of wire around a magnet. This arrangement is used for speed and position sensors. Other transducers are used for other sensor applications. |
Transfer BoxThe gearbox that splits drive front and rear for four wheel drive transmissions. |
Transfer Box/CaseThe take-off gearbox for four wheel drive transmissions. |
Transfer EfficiencyThe measure of paint material applied compared to the amount of material originally sprayed. Modern HVLP spray guns are expected to achieve a transfer efficiency of at least 65% |
Transfer PortThe port that connects the crankcase to the cylinder on a two stroke engine and is used to pass a new air/fuel charge to the cylinder when the piston descends to bdc. |
TransformerTwo coils or windings that interact to step voltage up or down. |
