sliding joint

British practice is to use a sliding joint of some sort, to allow this movement.

This is particularly the case for linear sliding joints, rather than rotating pivots.

Sliding joints also have an auto-oscillation setting which makes it expand and contract automatically.

The bridge is equipped with special finger type sliding joints in order to accommodate large movements between the decks.

Sliding joints are similar to 2 dimensional pneumatic pistons.

In its place was a perfect replica of the missing member, mirror-bright, so subtly articulated that the sliding joints were invisible.

The three sliding joints correspond to moving the wrist up-down,in-out,back-forth.

Due to its earthquake engineering, the airport emerged unscathed, mostly due to the use of sliding joints.

Bridges and overpasses frequently have sliding joints that allow a deck to move relative to piers or abutments.

Taya looked again at the precisely fitted parts that gave mobility to his shoulders, and the ingenious system of sliding joints that formed his neck.

Examples of kinematic chains: The planar one degree-of-freedom linkages assembled from N links and j hinged or sliding joints are:

Kinematic pairs model the hinged and sliding joints fundamental to robotics, often called lower pairs and the surface contact joints critical to cams and gearing, called higher pairs.

The cardan joints within the Thompson Coupling can use roller bearings for all bearing surfaces; this reduces friction and wear when compared to the sliding joints used in Rzeppa-type CV joints.

For example, IncrediBots 2 allows users to alter the gravitational force that was constant in IncrediBots, as well as alter the simulation 'backdrop', choose different types of grounds, use non-colliding sliding joints, drag shapes during the simulation, edit groups of shapes, and later on supporter's use of cannons.
