Monolingual examples (not verified by PONS Editors)

English

Positioning of the propeller relative to the crankshaft is arranged such that the engine pistons pass through top dead centre during the swinging stroke. en.wikipedia.org

More generally, the dead centre is any position of a crank where the applied force is straight along its axis, meaning no turning force can be applied. en.wikipedia.org

That is; about 120 degrees after bottom dead centre. en.wikipedia.org

It has a hemi-head and, unusually, the spark is fired after top dead centre because of the very high flame speed in a compact engine with this head design. en.wikipedia.org

A further benefit may be obtained by admitting the steam to the cylinder slightly before front or back dead centre. en.wikipedia.org

Not only did this provide maximum tractive effort when starting but also avoided problems that might arise if the high pressure piston was in a dead centre position. en.wikipedia.org

A parallel twin with this many cylinders would be self-starting from dead centre anyway (assuming the usual crankshaft with cranks at 90). en.wikipedia.org

A bowling crease is 8ft 8 long, with the middle stump placed dead centre. en.wikipedia.org

Therefore, if both cranksets could be at dead centre at the same time, and the wheels should happen to stop in this position, the locomotive could not be started moving. en.wikipedia.org

If a steam engine stops on dead centre, it will be unable to restart from that position. en.wikipedia.org
