Q

How are tapered sleeve bearing set?

A

Slide the tapered sleeve on shaft, slide bearing on sleeve, fit lock ring and tighten lock nut.

As you tighten the lock ring it pushes bearing up the sleeve locking it to the shaft and taking up the clearance on the bearing.

Q

What are the three fit types?

A

Clearance - indicates the shaft is always smaller then the bore

Transition - MMC interference, a minimum bore diameter and maximum shaft diameter.

               -  LMC clearance fit, maximum bore diameter with minimum shaft diameter

Interference - shaft is always larger than the bore.

.005”

33
Q

What is the negative tolerance of cold finished square stock?

A

.002” to .003”

34

When are step keys used?

A

To accommodate a key seat that is wider then the hub

35
Q

Fixed keys allow the hub to do what?

A

Move axially

36
Q

What is used to remove gib headed keys?

A

Fox wedge

37
Q

What tools are used to remove keys?

A

Wedges, slide hammers, key drift

38
Q

Key ways can be cut with what machines?

Key seat cutter or milling machine

39
Q

How much depth per tooth?

A

1/16”

.003”

40
Q

How many set screws are used to secure hub to shaft and where are they placed?

A

Usually 2 one placed over the key and the other 90 degrees from the first set screw

41
Q

What are the two types of shafting?

A

Hot rolled - needs to be finished

Cold rolled - finished shafting

42
Q

1018 is?

A

Low carbon

Low speeds

43
Q

1045 is?

A

Medium carbon

High speeds

44
Q

Shafts are exposed to what stresses?

A

Bending, shearing and torsional

45
Q

What can add strength to a shaft where one end is smaller in diameter?

A

Adding a radius (fillet) at the shoulder area.

46
Q

What tool can be used to check shaft run out and alignment?

A

Dial indicator

47
Q

What is one way a bent shaft can be heated?

A

Slight heat and peening the bent area

48
Q

When joint shafts what type of couple is best suited for accurate line up and minor misalignment?

A

Rigid for accurate alignment

Flexible for misaligned shaft

49
Q

What is the purpose of a shear pin?

A

They are meant to shear when somthing jams in the system. This prevents damage to other parts of the system

50
Q

Tapered dowel pins have what taper per foot?

A

1/4

51
Q

On metric fits tolerance what does the upper case letter mean and the lower case?

A

Upper case is the bore

Lower case is the shaft

52
Q

Fits can be broken down into?

A 
Running and sliding clearance fits 
Locational clearance fit 
Transitional fit 
Locational interference fit 
Force fit
53
Q

What does force fit mean?

A

Parts are pressed together

54
Q

What happens for a shrink fit

A

Hub is heated to expand then when it cools it shrinks to the shaft

55
Q

Describe expansion fit?

A

Shaft is cooled to shrink then expands to the hub when it warms back up.

56
Q

What is the purpose of a shaft?

A

A mechanical device that transmits motion and power

57
Q

What is an axle?

A

A rotating device on which a wheel is mounted

58
Q

What is a spindle?

A

A slender pin or rod which turns, or in which something else turns

59
Q

What is the journal?

A

Part of the spindle, shaft, or axle that rotates in or on a bearing.

60
Q

What considerations are taken into account when choosing correct steel for shafting?

A 
Torque
Speed
Power transmitting and mounting 
Compression and tensile limits
Contraction, bowing, or expansion limits
Cost
61
Q

When would you consider using an alloy shaft?

A

Where rust and corrosion are great.

62
Q

What are some of the uses for shafting?

A 
Transfer torque
Support pieces of equipment 
Permit equipment to pivot
Extend the length of a drive 
Change rotary motion to reciprocating
63
Q

What is the best way to identify shafting?

A

Proper labeling, proper storage, and good house keeping

64
Q

What is fatigue?

A

When the shaft is subject to many cycle of loading.

65
Q

What is fatigue stress?

A

The ability of a shaft to resist fatigue

66
Q

What is radial runout?

A

Radial runout occurs when the shaft and attatchments are not concentric in their rotation

67
Q

What is circular run out?

A

Circular run out occurs because of imperfections

68
Q

Axial runout?

A

Axial runout occurs because attatchments do not rotate perpendicularly to the shaft axis

69
Q

Why are runouts formed?

A

Bent shaft
Worn bearings
Poor machining
Poor assembly

70
Q

What is the purpose of a hub?

A

To enable the component to attach to the shaft

71
Q

What is the purpose of a coupling?

A

To connect two shafts together
