It reduces turbulence and allows designers to push the limits of aerodynamics, eliminating the need for heavy hydraulics, control cables or
pushrods.
Local manufacturing operations have not only benefited the Bangalore site but also the Bristol site in Rhode Island, where Meldin[R] thermoplastic materials are being produced for the US automotive market in the form of core transmission systems such as seal rings, thrust washers,
pushrods and bearings; steering systems such as ball joints and guide bearings; and brake system structural parts.
The servos attach to the control systems via
pushrods and each servo (pitch and roll) weighs 3.4 pounds.
The number 3 cylinder exhaust

A range of
pushrods and video pipeline inspection systems is also available for hire direct from Ashtead Technology to help provide a complete solution for a variety of drainage inspection needs.
The valvetrain incorporates patented dual hydraulic lash adjustors, which improves the performance and reliability of the valvetrain by using two
pushrods per cylinder and individual rocker arms, Ford said.
The A-arms, the
pushrods, the shock absorbers and various levers of modern formula SAE race cars are connected to the chassis, bell cranks or wheel uprights by ball joints, also known as spherical bearings.
