Q

It is always better to use a tool under a piece of elevated machinery VS your hand

True or false

A

True

23
Q

What does TIR mean

A

Total indicator reading

24
Q

To set the TIR in the vertical plane you zero the dial at the ________ position

A

12 o’clock

25
Q

To set the TIR in the horizontal plan you set the rail to zero at the __________ mark?

A

3 o clock

26
Q

TIR F indicate what ______?

A

Face

27
Q

TIR R indicate ________?

A

Rim

28
Q

Always rotate shafts in __________wise direction is preferred?

A

Clockwise.

29
Q

A quick check of soft foot on a machine would be to:

A

Remove all olds shims and clean base and feet

Reinstall driver with torque bolts loose

Try rocking drive across diagonal

Check each foot my trying to slide feeler gauge under each foot.

Any foot that a .003 feeler gauge can pass through is a soft foot

If a thicker gauge only fits part way and angular soft foot is indicated

30
Q

When using dial indicators to check soft foot what is the major difference in procedure?

A

When using dial indicators you tighten the hold down bolts instead of loosening them after shims are removed

31
Q

Two ways of correcting angular soft foot are: using hand cut graduates shims or __________?

A

Using elastomer shims

32
Q

When checking for soft foot, dial readings are not equal to the amount of movement at the foot. The rule of thumb is to use 80% of the value shown on the indicator.

True or false

A

True

33
Q

On larger machines it may be possible to check for soft foot with a dial by placing dial directly on each foot. If there is a dial reading when the bolt is loosened, it means there is soft foot.

True or false

A

True

34
Q

What are types of run out? Concentric(no runout), Eccentric shaft, eccentric run-out and __________ runout?

A

Angular

35
Q

Why must end float be controlled before an alignment?

A

It will produce an unreliable alignment

36
Q

When measuring dial bar sag you must transfer entire dial and clamp set up onto the test mandrel exactly how it was originally set up on the work piece. Going from 12 o’clock to 6 o’clock you must record readings. If the reading was -.004” add the bar sag value to the 6 o’clock RIM readings only.

True or false

A

True

37
Q

You would use a straightedge and feeler gauge to initially check parallel offset.

True or false

A

True, do this for both horizontal and vertical planes

38
Q

Feeler gauges or ___________ can be used to roughly check angular offset

A

Callipers

39
Q

When dials are used in the top position, it is referred to as 12 o’clock. The horizontal position on the right hand side is referred to as the _____ o’clock position.

A

3

40
Q

Why is it important to make sure the plunger on a dial indicator is 50% depressed?

A

This allows for .050” in either a positive or negative direction

41
Q

Balanced refers to the sums of the horizontal and __________ as being equal. If the dials are not equal( or within less than the 10%) there is a problem within the setup

A

Vertical

42
Q

Vertical alignment formula?

A
43
Q

Rough alignment should be within about ______thousands of an inch?

A

.010

44
Q

Why is it important to mic the shims?

A

Because they may not be the exact size stamped onto the shim

45
Q

Different ways to check angular offset. See pic

A
46
Q

Which machine do the dials read off of when doing a rim and face alignment?

A

Clamp is set up on the machine to be shimmed MTBM and the dials read of the fixed machine

47
Q

Once setup is complete and dials have been zeroed and rotate the dial 360 degrees. Checking and recording the dial readings in all 4 spots, 12, 3, 6 , 9. Now what?

A

Validate the setup by checking that the sums of the 9 and 3 equal the sums of the 12 and 6 o’clock. (Top+Bottom=Left+right)

48
Q

If the sums of the readings do not add up that means they are not balanced. What does that mean?

A

There is a problem in your setup
- loose clamping
- sticky dial
- coupling binding
- etc

49
Q

Positive number are_______ datum and negative numbers are _______ datum

A

Toward

Away

50
Q

Determine 6 and 9 o’clock positions by viewing from the ?

A

Fixed machine

51
Q

When reading off dials mounted on the backside of the coupling make sure to?

A

Reverse face dial signs (+ -)

52
Q

S1= formula

A

L1/D x TIRface - TIRrim/2

L1 = front foot of MTBM to rim dial
D = diameter made by face dial

53
Q

S2 = formula?

A

L2/D x TIRface - TIRrim/2

L2 = bolt centre of back foot on the MTBM
D = diameter of face dial
