211: 450: 418: 462: 495:"Definition of Dog -> In engineering a dog is a tool that prevents movement or imparts movement by offering physical obstruction or engagement of some kind. It may hold another object in place by blocking it, clamping it, or otherwise obstructing its movement. Or it may couple various parts together so that they move in unison - the primary example of this being a flexible drive to mate two shafts in order to transmit torque" 341:, the most basic form of which comprises a smooth disc and pressure plate: when pressed together they lock up simply through friction, which permits some degree of slip as the mating pressure is modulated and thus permits some difference in the rotational speeds of the discs. A dog clutch, however, is a binary system, thus requiring that the rotating speeds of the two discs be matched prior to mating to avoid damage by 178:(animal) biting and holding on, the "dog" name derived from the basic idea of how a dog jaw locks on, by the movement of the jaw, or by the presence of many teeth. In engineering the "dog" device has some special engineering work when making it – it is not a simple part to make as it is not a simple bar or pipe, and the metal used in its construction is likely to be special rather than regular steel. 43: 271: 331:, which comprises a pair of unconnected discs aligned axially, each with a radial arrangement of lugs which oppose one another and which interlock when the plates are in contact.
