  • summary set to "Pair of friction linings bonded to steel backing plates that press on the brake disc to slow the wheel."

Gate Driver Board gate-driver-board

  • summary set to "Circuit board carrying the gate driver ICs, isolation, and protection that switch the power modules of an inverter or servo drive."

Piston Rod piston-rod

  • summary set to "Hard-chromed steel rod that connects the damper piston to the vehicle and slides through the rod seal."

Wheel Hub Bearing hub-bearing

  • summary set to "Sealed double-row bearing unit inside the wheel hub that carries the wheel loads and lets it spin freely."

Camera Module camera-module

  • summary set to "Compact camera unit combining lens, image sensor, and interface electronics for vision, inspection, or driver assistance."

Damper Oil shock-oil

  • summary set to "Low-viscosity hydraulic oil inside a damper whose flow through the piston valves provides the damping force."

Pneumatic Cylinder pneumatic-cylinder

  • summary set to "Double-acting compressed-air actuator that drives a piston rod in and out to clamp, push, lift, or sort."

IMU (6-axis) imu

  • summary set to "Inertial measurement unit combining a three-axis accelerometer and three-axis gyroscope to sense motion and orientation."

Hub Flange hub-flange

  • summary set to "Forged flange of the wheel hub that carries the wheel studs and gives the wheel and brake disc their mounting face."

Wheel Stud wheel-stud

  • summary set to "Hardened threaded stud pressed into the hub flange onto which the wheel is clamped by a lug nut."

Wheel Hub wheel-hub

  • summary set to "Rotating hub unit with bearing, flange, and studs that mounts the wheel and brake disc to the suspension."

Coolant Hose coolant-hose

  • summary set to "Reinforced rubber or silicone hose that carries coolant between the engine, pump, radiator, and heater."

Instrument Cluster instrument-cluster

  • summary set to "Display unit behind the steering wheel that shows speed, status, and warnings on gauges or a screen."
