Q

Floating shaft couplings are used to save space when installing new machinery? True or false

20
Q

When a machine needs to be held at rest or stop quickly a brake wheel coupling is a good choice of coupling? True or false

21
Q

When removing tapered couplings off the shaft; where safety glasses; stand in the path the coupling hub will take if it is dislodged off the shaft; make sure there is clear space for the piece to fly off the shaft; and watch it very closely to see when the coupling begins to move off the taper? True or false

22
Q

Misalignment is the greatest cause of coupling wear and destruction?
True or false

23
Q

All couplings should be well lubricated after installation? True or false

24
A flexible coupling that is hot after running for a few hours may have serious alignment problems? True or false
True
25
What is the purpose of couplings?
Shaft couplings are power transmission components used to connect the driving and driven shafts end to end
26
Three basic types of couplings?
Rigid flexible and the special purpose couplings
27
What a rigid couplings?
Rigid couplings provide a fixed union between two shafts
28
What are some types of rigid couplings
Sleeve couplings compression couplings rib couplings flange face couplings threaded couplings
29
What is a sleeve coupling
Rigid coupling used in low speeds and low talk applications they consist of a piece of heavy walled tubing
30
What is a compression coupling
Compression couplings grip the shaft by using tapered sleeves in tapered hubs so that when the two hubs are drawn together they clamped to the shaft, require no set screws or splines used on equipment with light to moderate loads The two shafts can be the same or different diameters
31
Ribbed couplings?
Ribbed couplings are used in heavy load and talk services talk is transmitted through the key, make sure after talking down equals space on both sides of the coupling
32
Ridgid multibore?
Used to connect shafts of unequal diameter
33
Flange face couplings? Used to connect shafts of the same diameter or shafts of different diameters?
Made with a male and female hubs. Must be aligned accurately.
34
Threaded couplings
Commonly used in applications such as vertical pumps. This coupling will transmit talk between the driver and the pump adequately as long as the shaft Rotates in direction of thread.
35
Flexible couplings
Mechanical flexibility the parts of the coupling have a designed clearance Material flexibility -the material of a specified part of the coupling is designed to bend or compress Combination of material and mechanical flexibility the material temporarily deforms by compressing or bending, plus that is some internal clearance for sliding motion
36
Types of mechanical flexible couplings
Rolling chain silent chain synthetic chain gear
37
Mechanical flexibility
Mechanical flexibility couplings permit limited flexibility by allowing the coupling components to move relative to each other. These couplings have sufficient internal clearances to allow this type of movement
38
Chain couplings
Rolling chain single rolling double rolling silent chain synthetic chain
39
Chain couplings
Chain couplings have mechanical flexibility limited torsional shock and vibration dampening compatibilities very easy to disconnect some shaft misalignment and and play is accommodated by the clearances between the chain, axial travel can be up to 1/4 inch on sometimes
40
Rolling chain coupling
Made of high tensile heat-treated steel teeth on sprocket for maximal wear
41
There are two types of rolling chain couplings
Single and double rolling chain couplings
42
What is the difference between single rolling chain and double rolling chain
The single-strand rolling chain provides slightly more end float then the double strand roller chain due to the absence of pin link and roller link plates in the center of the chain
43
Silent chain coupling
Recommended for heavy duty drives at speeds of up to 5000 rpm Minor amounts of misalignment and some end play, torsional flexibility is very limited, main advantage is the ability to perform smoothly and quietly and remain in balance at the high rotational speeds
