Impedance
The total apparent opposition a circuit offers to the flow of alternating current in an electrical circuit.
Induction
When an electrical conductor becomes electrified and becomes magnetized.
Impregnation
• The process of imbedding a reactive liquid into a porous substrate in order to change its properties.
• The process of adding oil into the porous cavaties in powdered bronze to assist in lubrication.
Inductive Current
Any current created by a magnetic field.
Insulator
A device for fastening and supporting a conductor.
Inner Ring
The inner part of a bearing that fits on a shaft and contains the external raceway for the rolling elements.
Inhibitor
A substance which is added to slow down the rate of a chemical reaction.
Intensifier
A device which converts low pressure fluid power to higher pressure fluid power.
Inertia
A function of the mass and shape of an object. The inertia represents the property of an object that resists a change in motion.
Internal Race
The ball or roller path on the bore of the outer ring.
Inverter
A device that converts DC power to AC power.
IR Compensation
It varies the mount of voltage to the armature in response to current/load changes.
ISO
