Q

When is alloy shafting used?

A

When wear and corrosion are involved.

30
Q

When is hollow shafting used?

A

When weight is an issue.

31
Q

What is the best way to identify shafting materials?

A

The numbers stamped into the steel.

32
Q

What is the definition of stress?

A

The internal resistance offered by a unit area of a material to an externally applied load.

33
Q

What stress tends to stretch or lengthen a shaft?

A

Tensile Stress.

34
Q

What stress tends to compress or shorten a shaft?

A

Compressive Stress.

35
Q

What is Bending stress?

A

A combination of Tensile and Compressive stress.

36
Q

What is Shear stress?

A

When the applied force tends to cut through the shaft.

37
Q

What is Torsional shear stress?

A

When torque is applied it causes torsional deformation along the length of the shaft.

38
Q

What is Fatigue Strength?

A

The ability of a shaft to resist fatigue.

39
Q

What is Fatigue loading?

A

When the shaft is subject to many cycles of loading.

40
Q

Which type of keyseat has the least stress concentration factor?

A

Runout.

41
Q

When placing a bearing what consideration should be taken?

A

The bearing should be placed as close to the loaded component as possible.

42
Q

Should the fillet radius on the shaft be smaller or larger than the inner ring radius of the bearing to be mounted?

A

Smaller.

43
Q

What should be utilized when using a puller on the end of a shaft?

A

Shaft Center Protector.

44
Q

What is Runout?

A

Any deviation from true.

45
Q

What is Radial Runout?

A

Shaft deflection.

46
Q

What is Circular Runout?

A

Imperfections on the outside surface.

47
Q

What is Axial Runout?

A

Movement of the shaft perpendicular to the shafts axis.

48
Q

What is a Coupling?

A

Couplings are use to join two ends of a shaft together.

49
Q

Name the two types of couplings?

A

Rigid and Flexible.

50
Q

What does a Straight Pin, Tapered Pin and Spring Pin all have in common?

A

51
Q

What does Positive Allowance refer to?

A

Minimum allowance between parts.

52
Q

What does Negative Allowance refer to?

A

  • locational clearance fit
  • transition fit
  • locational interference fit
  • force or shrink fit
54
Q

What is tolerance?

A

It is the maximum and minimum limits of size.

55
Q

What is the basic hole system?

A

In this system the design size of the hole is the basic size. (change the shaft size)

56
Q

What is the basic shaft system?

A

In this system the design size of the shaft is the basic size. (change the bore)

57
Q

What is Unilateral Tolerance?

A

Tolerance for the drawing dimension is applied in one direction only.
