Tech/Engineering - Kraftfahrzeuge/PKW und LKW | | Italienisch Begriff oder Satz: inserto desmodromico | | This refers to a conventional key provided as back up in the event of the failure of a Remote Keyless entry system (car entry and go). The full phrase is "chiave meccanica di back-up: inserto desmodromico metallico estraibile". I know that desmodromic is used in valvegear systems, but can I use it in this context? Thanks. |
| | | v.s. | Erklärung:
I think you can use the term *desmodromic* in your context.
The word "desmodromic" is derived from two Greek roots, desmos (controlled, linked) and dromos (course, track). It refers to the exclusive valve control system used in Ducati engines: both valve movements (opening and closing) are "operated".
We usually say that action on the valve is "positive" in both cases, in other words, both strokes are "controlled".
***In mechanical terms, the word desmodromic is used to refer to mechanisms that have different controls for their actuation in different directions***.
Here are a few clarifying examples:
imagine a saw cutting a tree trunk: the act of pushing and pulling the saw is a desmodromic action.
By contrast, the movement of a door handle is not controlled by a desmodromic mechanism: this motion is only controlled in one (opening) direction, while the return is automatically obtained via a spring, in a less controlled manner.
And finally, an example for bikers: you must know the difference between a "single-pull" and a "push-pull" throttle cable (desmodromic) twistgrip.
