coupling
The three types of shaft-to-adjacent-shaft power transmissions are belt, ________, and gear drives.
Chain
A machine’s foundation must be designed to preform the following three functions: support the load, _____________, and absorb any vibrations.
Maintain Alignment
The three types of heavy equipment foundations are solid concrete, ______________, and structural steel.
reinforced concrete
A ________ provides a rigid, level surface for mounting, that anchors to the foundation.
Bedplate
A spirit level is used to measure the ____________ and parallelism of a surface with the ground.
perpendicularity
A ______ mount has tabs, or feet, attached at the four corners of the motor.
Foot
When mounting a driven component directly to a motor face, both must have a special face called a _________, which has a flange and bolt holes.
C-Face
The _________ motor mount is often used when it is necessary to change the position of the motor to change tension on a belt or chain drive.
adjustable
When mounting a motor to a bedplate you should use a hex head bolt with _____ flat washers, a lock washer, and a nut.
