2. Rotary-screw compressor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary-screw_compressor

   Principal view of the pumping action of a twin-screw pump with a six-lobe female screw and a five-lobe male screw. A compressor (as opposed to a pump) would be shaped the same way, except that the shape of the lobes would change along the length of the screw, so that the volume of the trapped pockets would get squeezed smaller as they get closer to the exhaust port.

3. Rotary engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_engine

   The rotary engine is an early type of internal combustion engine, usually designed with an odd number of cylinders per row in a radial configuration. The engine's crankshaft remained stationary in operation, while the entire crankcase and its attached cylinders rotated around it as a unit.

4. Wankel engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wankel_engine

   Produces three power pulses each revolution of the rotor. Gives one power pulse per revolution of the output shaft. The Wankel engine ( /ˈvaŋkəl̩/, VUN-kell) is a type of internal combustion engine using an eccentric rotary design to convert pressure into rotating motion. The concept was proven by German engineer Felix Wankel, followed by a ...

Rotary kiln body, with drive gear and 2 tyres (riding rings) A rotary kiln is a pyroprocessing device used to raise materials to a high temperature ( calcination) in ...

6. Radial shaft seal - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radial_shaft_seal

   Radial shaft seals, also known as lip seals, are used to seal rotary elements, such as a shaft or rotating bore. Common examples include strut seals, hydraulic pump seals, axle seals, power steering seals, and valve stem seals. Early radial shaft seals utilized rawhide as the sealing element, and many present-day elastomeric seal companies were ...

7. Rotary vane pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_vane_pump

   A rotary vane pump is a type of positive-displacement pump that consists of vanes mounted to a rotor that rotates inside a cavity. In some cases these vanes can have variable length and/or be tensioned to maintain contact with the walls as the pump rotates. This type of pump is considered less suitable than other vacuum pumps for high-viscosity ...
