Section 3 Flashcards
Keys are meant to be
The weak link
Another name for the Pratt and Whitney
 Buried key
What are woodruff key is good for
Light applications, small, pulleys, and gears
What are gib keys good for?
Heavy loads, they have an 1/8 of an inch taper per foot.
Can you use a jib head key with cast-iron?
No
Two helical gear is in mesh and rotating under torque produce thrust. Helical, spine, offset or counteracts that axle or ends rust.
U joint both ends of driveshaft must face both yokes in the same direction?
Yes, or they will develop tremendous vibration problems
Tapers and eccentrics are locking devices used to mount components to shafts 
Used for bearings sprockets and sheaves. 
Retainer rings or snaprings are used for
Provided with a removable shoulder to locate retain or lock component, on shaft, boars, and inside housing
What is torsional stress?
Torsional, shear stress is torquing twisting stress
Other than a solid round cross-section what other shafts could you get?
Square, hex and hollow
What is hollow shafting not good for?
Hollow shaft and is not good for shock load applications because it is less resilient than solid shafting
What is the purpose of line shafting?
To supply power to or timing several devices on a single shaft
What are the alloying elements
Aluminum carbon, chromium, copper, and lead.
What does a ANSI stand for.
American national standards institute.
What are the three basic groups of ANSI?
Number one RC running and sliding fits
Number 2LC, LT & LN locational fits
 Number 3FN force fits
What are couplings?
Power transmission components
What is the compression coupling good for?
Light to moderate loads, they can be two different diameters
What do you want to do with ribbed couplings after their installed?
Insure the gap between the two halves is equal
When is a rigid multi bore used?
Vertical pumps
How do you mount a flanged faced coupling?
Heavy interference, fit or taper fit, in some cases, the flange is forged part of the shaft.
Is a rigid coupling, low maintenance
Yes, and no lube needed
Is the equipment always rated for the same misalignment as the coupling?
No, and it can lead to premature seal and bearing failure
What is the absolute maximum?
Specified misalignment rating from the manufacture
What is the most common type of roller chain?
The double strand roller chain
What is the material flexible coupling
Constructed to allow parts of the coupling to flex, when it is subjected to misalignment, load changes and reversing and shock loads.
A single flexible metal disc coupling cannot tolerate angular misalignment.
No
What are the types of material and mechanical flexible coupling
Steel grid, Jaw and spider, splined rubber, pin and disc , pin, and rubber bushing coupling
