Q

You use this on installation assemblies for positive bearing location. The internal tab locates the washer in the keyseat of the shaft or tapered sleeve and one of the external tabs is bent over to lock the nut in position.

A

Tapered sleeves

22
Q

What are the 5 locking/positioning devices? (5)

A
  • Set screws
  • Tab washers
  • Shear pins
  • tapered dowel pins
  • Retainer rings
23
Q

Set screws are also known as:

A

Grub screws

24
Q

_____ is used with tapered sleeves, where positive location is important.

A

Tab washer

25
Q

____ are used to connect gears or other parts to a shaft, and designed to disconnect the machine drive in an overload position.

A

Shear Pins

26
Q

Used when you require extremely precise location or when you frequently assemble or disassemble parts:

A

Tapered dowel pin

27
Q

Tapered dowel pins are identified by: (2)

A
  • Overall length
  • Diameter at large end

Note: these pins have a 1/4” taper per foot

28
Q

Retainer rings are also known as:

A

Snap rings

29
Q

This provides a removable shoulder to locate, retain or lock components on shafts, bores, or inside housings:

A

Retainer rings/snap rings

30
Q

These retainer rings do not require a special recess. The inclined prongs bend to position and lock the ring in place:

A

Self locking ring

31
Q

these retainer rings are available in both left and right hand winds. Slotted rings can be internal or external.

A

spiral wound rings

32
Q

The two main stresses that a shaft needs to stand up to are: (2)

A
  • Bending stress

- Torsional stress

33
Q

Bending stress is a force applied by the weight of the shaft itself and the load perpendicular to the shafts axis. To keep them to a minimum:

A

keep loads close to bearings

34
Q

The most common shape for shafting is a round cross section. Other cross sections are: (3)

A
  • Square
  • Hex
  • Hollow
35
Q

The purpose of line shafting is to:

A

supply power to or time a number of drives on a single shaft

36
Q

The recommended max distance between bearings on a standard line shaft is:

A

8 feet

37
Q

on a line shaft, gears, pulleys and sprockets should be as close to the _____ as possible

A

bearings

38
Q

a line shaft has fixed and floating bearings to accomodate:

A

expansion

39
Q

the fixed bearing on a line shaft should always be:

A

close to the main drive sprocket, pulley or gear

40
Q

You should use _______ bearings on horizontal line shafts

A

pillow block

41
Q

In regards to steel alloys, aluminum:

A

controls grain size and case hardens

42
Q

In regards to steel alloys, carbon:

A

Principal hardening element.

Hardness increases with more carbon content, but looses ductility and weldability

43
Q

In regards to steel alloys, chromium improves steels hardenability, abrasion resistance and wear resistance, but is also added for:

A

High temp applications

44
Q

In regards to steel alloys, copper:

A

improves resistance to corrosion.

Note: when added in small amounts (under 1%) the copper does not significantly affect mechanical properties of steel

45
Q

Lead does not alloy with steel. It remains in its elemental state when added, but it’s added to:

A

improve machinability

46
Q

The difference between the limit of sizes is the

A

tolerance

47
Q

____ expresses the range of permissible tightness or looseness between mating parts

A

fit

48
Q

The letters “L” and “T” stand for how many 10, 000 of an inch ____ or ____ the fit is.

A

Loose or Tight

Note: A clearance fit would be designated with an “L” and an interference fit would be designated with a “T”

49
Q

Clearance fit indicates that the shaft is always smaller than the bore size, or that the outside diameter of the bearing is always smaller than the:

A

housing bore
