Interaxis
adj, noun ·Rare ·Advanced level
Definitions
- 1 The space between two axes.
"The doors, windows, niches, and the like, are then placed centrally in the interaxes."
- 2 A line from the center of a regular solid to the center of one of its edges.
"The principles of analytical geometry afford the means of determining how much the interaxes of the regular octahedron must be increased or diminished to equal the interaxes in these different forms."
- 3 The distance between the axes (centers of rotation) of two items that interact along a spiral groove, such as intermeshing screws or a vinyl record and needle.
"Because the screws are intermeshing and conjugated, and their interaxis is fixed, the larger the channel depth h, the larger the screws external diameter D."
- 1 Between axes (any sense). not-comparable
"It is possible to give smaller interaxis distance than the rotor radius when the shafts are inclined a small angle to each other (so-called " Synchropter ") , and the limiting case this interaxis distance approaching zero is the coaxial rotors configuration."
- 2 Pertaining to the perpendicularity (or deviation therefrom) of a set of resolver windings when another set of windings is excited. not-comparable
"However, interaxis perpendicularity errors will be included [ see paragraph M ) ] ."
