Q

in a secondary inspection, what should the elongation be?

A

1.5% to 3%

20
Q

when should a chain be replaced from a worn contact?

A

when 5% worn

21
Q

what causes pin galling and how can it be corrected?

A

inadequate lube -> reduce load or speed, proper chain lube

22
Q

what are tight joints caused by?

A

dust and foreign objects caught in the joints

23
Q

what must be done to a sprocket with hooked teeth

A

replace chain and the sprocket

24
Q

what causes abnormal protrusions or turned pins

A

high loading and inadequate lubricant

25
what is the cause of cracked plates?
loading beyond the chains dynamic capacity
26
fractured plates are caused by what?
high overload of the chain
27
what are cracked plates caused by?
static pressure at press fit plus severe corrosion or acid exposure
28
what are enlarged holes caused by ?
high overload
29
what is a rusted chain caused by?
moisture exposure or poor lube
30
in the case of an emergency, what can be used to extend the landing gear?
sprocket and chain system
31
what is the main role of a sprocket ?
rotory to linear or vice versa
32
what does the sprocket act as in long chain runs?
acts as support
33
what is the load capacity of a belt compared to a chai drive?
much smaller
34
what are the benefits to a belt drive system?
-shock resistant - quieter -smoother -do not need to lube
35
are belts life's limited?
yes they are
36
what must a belt be inspected for?
-wear and degradation -cracking or splitting -chipping or fraying
37
what defects require the replacement of the belt?
-cracking and splitting -shipping and fraying
38
how can the tension be tested on a belt?
by pushing on an unsupported section
39
why is the work and peg mechanism not used in aircraft?
excessive backlash
40
the worm and nut mechanism is used in aircraft, how is actuation of the mechanism generated?
turn shaft to drive nut or nut to drive shaft
41
what is the recirculating ball mechanism referred to as ?
ball screw actuator
42
how does the nut move on a recirculating ball mechanism's shaft ?
shaft turns making the balls circulate. nut moves as long as it's fixed so it doesn't rotate.
43
screw jacks are primarily used where?
flap drive systems
44
what are the primary concerns when inspecting a screw jack?
lubrication and backlash
45
what should be checked for in a push pull rod?
straightness, wear in the ends, security of check nuts and end fittings
45
where are push pull rods used?
aircraft aileron and trim tab
46
what are bell cranks used for ?
transmit a force or motion or permit a change in direction
