Abrasion
Wear away of the surface, taken place for lined continuous, usually due to the presence of strange materials, or metallic particles in the lubricant. This can also cause the break or resquebrajamiento of the material (like in the surfaces of the teeth of the engagements). The lack of an appropriate lubrication can also give as a result the abrasion.

ABS

AntilockBrake System The ABS (of the German Antiblockiersystem, system of antifreezing) it is a mechanism used in the airplanes and in the vehicles automobiles that it avoids that the tires lose the contact with the landing hint or the roadway during a process of having braked abrupt. The system was developed initially for the airplanes, which accustom to have to brake strongly once have taken earth.Later on, Mercedes-Benz it developed this system for the first time for automobiles. With the time the ABS has left generalizing, so that at the present time the absolute majority of the recent manufacturing autos and trucks has him. Some motos of high cylinder capacity also takes this system of having braked.

Oil

The flowing base, usually a refined product of the petroleum orsynthetic material, in which the preservatives are blended to produce finished lubricants.

Mineral oil

Oil derivate of the petroleum or of a mineral source, contrary to some oils that they have origin in plants and animals.

Monogrado oil

Oil whose indexes of viscosity vary considerably in function of the temperature. These oils should be changed if the conditions oftemperature present important variations.

Oil Multigrade

Oil that they maintain their index of viscosity although big variations take place in their operating temperature.

Steel

Metal formed with the help of iron and alloyed with carbon in a proportion between 0,03% and 2%. The sweet steel is characterized to be very malleable (with great capacity of deformation)and to have a concentration of inferior carbon to 0,2%. Above this proportion of carbon, the steel becomes more hard, but more fragile.

I steel stainless

I steel that presents a great resistance to the action of the oxidation, characteristic that is gotten alloying it with the chromium and the nickel.

I steel quick

Name with the one that habitually is known tothe alloyed steel of the tools by their composition. He/she has a high content of carbon that is detected by their hardness when subjecting to the test of the filing.

Viscous joining

Joining of liquid in that the entrance axes and of exit they combine with thin disks and spaced in alternating form in a cylindrical camera full with a viscous liquid that you subject to the disksand that, therefore, those make resist the differences of speed among the two axes.

Preservatives

Natural or chemical elements that are added to a product to add or to potentialize some of their characteristics. They are used in the lubricants, fuels, cooling liquids, etc.

Shaving

He/she calls this way himself or he/she is given this name to the fact of to eraseor to remove the kilometers that is to say to the car to put to zero the odometer or to leave it with less km's of that that in fact has (it is known this way in the mechanical jargon).

ralentí

Without stepping the accelerator of the vehicle

Alloy

It substantiates with metallic estates composed by two or more chemical elements of which at least one is a metal.Alternator

Device worked by a motor that transforms the mechanical energy into alternating electric current. The alternator gives energy to make work all the electric components of the vehicle when the motor is working, and for the load of the accumulator or battery.

Shock

System that absorbs the kinetic energy of the vehicle when a vertical displacement of the...
