Q

What is a couplings

A

Couplings are used to connect two shafts with each other. They are classed as:
• Solid couplings
• Movable and disconnectable couplings
• Safety couplings

Q

Solid couplings

A

Rigid connection
Sleeve ans disk coupling
Sleeve consists of 2 iron cast sleeve fixed into shaft end. If the contact pressure is not high enough to transfer the torque, adjusting springs are added.
Disk coupling two dicks fitted to shaft end, cylindrical insertion or a centre plate to ensure two disks are balanced

Q

Movable couplings

A

comprise expansion couplings, hinge couplings and elastic couplings. They are used if the shafts are not in alignment or if the position of the shafts change during operation.

Q

Cross links

A

such as universal joints, are suitable to transfer stronger forces, such as in cars. If the journals of the journal cross assembly run in pin bearings, these links need no maintenance.

Q

Hinge coupling

A

comprise cross-links, dry-disc joints and ball- and socket- joints. They are used where the direction of the axes of the shafts linked to the couplings change in a certain, limited angle.

Q

Drive gear

22
Q

Driven gear

23
Q

Mechanical adavanbged

A

Number of teeth on drive and driven gear
Ratio of them
Driven over drive

24
Q

Toothed wheel gear

A

Transfer rotational movement at low speeds with out slip
Operate in oil Bath to reduce noise
Need to be protected against contamination and axidents

25
Spur gear
straight toothed gear wheels with the teeth formed externally or internally External when a change of speed is required shafts lie parallel to each other
26
Helical gear
Transmission drive between parallel shafts | Produce axial load on represpective bearings
27
Rack and pinion
Converts rotation motion to kinda reflect
28
Worm gear
The worm and wheel gear set consists of a helically-cut worm gear on an input shaft, driving a spur gear-mounted wheel, on an output shaft. The axes of the two shafts cross at 90° and are in different planes Gives a large step down between the driver and driven shaft
29
Bevel gear
transmit the drive between shafts which have intersecting axes Found in engines main dive shalf of engine to drive accessory
30
Hearing bone gear
Helical gear teeth create a force that acts in an axial direction. This force has to be picked up by axial bearings. To avoid excessive axial force, the slanting angle of the teeth should not be larger than 20 degrees to avoid excess axiel strength Transfer large forces
31
Backlash
Gap between teeth at point of contact
32
Idler gear
Support gear between the driver and the driven , extra support
33
Pinion
Smaller of 2 mating gears
34
Lay shaft
Supports a idlier or intermittent gear
35
Step up drive
Provides high speed output compared to imput
36
Step down drive
Provides high speed imput composted to outout
37
Gear trains
2 or more gears on a series of shafts
38
Reduction gears
Reduces speed going from gear to gear
39
Accessory drive unit
Helical gear teeth create a force that acts in an axial direction. This force has to be picked up by axial bearings. To avoid excessive axial force, the slanting angle of the teeth should not be larger than 20 degrees.
40
Planetary (Epicyclic) Reduction Gear Train
Used to reduce the speed of an aircraft engine’s output shaft to a more acceptable speed for its propeller. It has the advantage of putting the output shaft (the propeller), in line with the input shaft (the engine crankshaft) Sun driving
41
Stepped pulls drive
With a single-pulley drive, only as many rotational speeds can be reached as the belt pulleys have stages.
42
Multiple pulls drive
Two three stage pulls in series produce 9 rotational speeds | Needs to be switched on for it to work
43
Toothed wheel gears
* Caster swivel wheel gears * Driving-key-type transmission The wheels of variable gears are engaged and reach the desired rotational speed by moving them sideways. If many rotational speeds are required by a machine tool, several gears are arranged in series Not suitable for precision work Switch off to change gear
44
Infinity variable rotational speeds
The wheels of variable gears are engaged and reach the desired rotational speed by moving them sideways. If many rotational speeds are required by a machine tool, several gears are arranged in series Changed during operation
45
Driving key type gears
transmit small forces at low rotational speeds. The tightly-fitted toothed wheels on the driving shaft are constantly engaged to the loosely-adjusted wheels of the driven shaft. Change gears during operation Don’t need much speed
46
Cone pulley drive
transmission of smaller forces at high rotational speeds. The cone pulley pairs are axially movable. By adjusting the pulleys, the V-belt is forced to move more to the outside of one pulley and more to the middle of the other Adjustment ratio of 10:1
47
Transmission Component Control Mechanism specification
* Safe * Lightweight * Movement free from play
48
Cables
``` Cables are the primary transmission components in airplanes without fly-by- wire systems. Versatile Free movement to play Weight saving Can only transmit pulling forces ```
49
Push rods
Used to operate rudders flaps | can transmit pulling and pushing forces.
50
Quadrants
Forces are transferred to cables via cable quadrants and the forces of the cables are also transmitted to push rods via cable quadrants
51
Rotator selector
Transmit Swinging or rotary movements
