Q

This method of cooling is done without expensive equipment. It can produce temperatures of -50C to -60C (-58F to -76F).

A

Alcohol and dry ice

Note: This method causes frost formation on parts, which could be a problem

20
Q

Hydraulic presses are classified by: (3)

A
  • Type
  • Force output
  • function
21
Q

Hydraulic presses are rated according to their:

A

Pushing capacity in tons

22
Q

Mechanical arbor presses are used for ____ jobs

A

light

23
Q

an advantage of an arbor press is that it gives the user:

A

a sense of the amount of pressure being applied

24
Q

A free standing hydraulic press consists of a frame of substantial construction with devices for holding work pieces, a ram for pushing, and is actuated by:

A

a pump

25
Q

a _____ should be attached to all powered presses.

A

safety cage

26
Q

by controlling the hydraulic fluid flow with a directional control valve, the cylinder may be:

A

extended, retracted, stopped

27
Q

a press that’s fitted with a ram instead of a cylinder is has:

A

springs that retract the ram when the control valve is released

28
Q

Powered presses are fitted with adjustable directional control valves to set max working pressure. This valve also operates as a:

A

Safety release when pressure becomes too high

29
Q

the workpiece and work holding devices are supported by a slide rack called a:

A

platen

Note: The platen is supported by safety pins which must withstand the max pressure from the cylinder

30
Q

to adjust the position of the platen, some presses are fitted with lift cables. When pressing, always ensure:

A

tension is relieved from the cables.

31
Q

This type of press consists of a hand pump with a reservoir connected by a high pressure hydraulic hose to a detachable cylinder:

A

portable hydraulic press aka porta-power

32
Q

pullers are available in various styles, shape and size. Manual pullers are used for light jobs. For heavier jobs, pullers can be used with a:

A

portable hydraulic press

33
Q

what are the three basic situations where a particular style of puller is used: (3)

A
  • Pulling a component off a shaft
  • Pulling a component out of a hole
  • Pulling a shaft out of a component
34
Q

the most basic styles of pullers are the: (2)

A
  • two leg and three leg jaw pullers
  • rod puller

Note: any style can be used manually or with a portable hydraulic press

35
Q

the legs of a two or three leg puller can also be called:

A

grip arms

36
Q

With a two or three leg jaw puller, what can you replace the adjustable screw with? (besides a portable hydraulic press)

A

slide hammer

37
Q

With rod pullers, this is often used to grip or support the work being pulled:

A

bearing splitter attachment

38
Q

a bearing splitter is used to:

A

removing anti friction bearings and other components

39
Q

shaft protectors are designed to:

A

protect the shaft center hole and end of puller screw from distortion

40
Q

What is used to bridge a hole when removing bearings, gears, or other hollow parts on hollow shaft or housing?

A

step plate adapters

41
Q

determine the puller type to use by identifying: (4)

A
  • How the part can be gripped,
  • Reach

Q

regarding pullers, this is the opening needed to grip the part(usually the width of the part):

A
