Unit 8: Switches and Their Functionality
A switch is a device that can be used to either establish or remove (also called make or break) connections between at least two points in an electric or electronic circuit. The mechanical or electromechanical parts which help the contacts to physically touch and separate are called actuators. A switch can be considered to be a gate which either allows or disallows a certain entity.
Key Components and Properties of Switches
- Actuators: The component that helps
Machine Tool Shaping: Components and Operation
Shaping in Machine Tools
Shaping, using a knife or cutting tool and alternative rectilinear movement, begins when the workpiece is set on the machine table.
Parties
Caucus
The body of the machine houses the cutting mechanisms and facilitates progress. It includes horizontal and vertical guides for the movement of the neck and head.
Vertical Slide
Slides along the horizontal guides, enabling alternative rectilinear movement.
Carriage Tilt
Rests on the front of the head and can rotate horizontally. On its

Plastics
Plastics are made of materials formed by long chains containing carbon atoms.
Their Properties
They are very good electrical insulators, resistant to many chemical agents. The process of obtaining them is economical. Pieces of plastic can be manufactured cheaply. Plastics are not biodegradable.
Classification of Plastics
- Thermoplastics are those that soften when heated and can be shaped many times.
- PVC: Impermeable, flexible.
- High-density polyethylene: Rigid, resistant, and transparent.
- Low-density
Understanding Vehicle Brake Systems: Types, Functionality, and Safety
Brake Service
The brake service allows the driver to reduce vehicle speed during normal driving, enabling them to slow down and stop.
Features:
- Number of circuits: One mixed brake circuit for the front and rear channels independently.
- Force on the foot: Maximum 800 Newtons.
- Maximum pressure circuit: 20-50 Bar.
- Pedal mechanical relationship: 8:1 to 5:1.
Auxiliary Brake
The auxiliary brake complements and supports the service brake in case of failure or damage, allowing the vehicle to slow down and come to
