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

A

Imput

22
Q

Driven gear

A

Output

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
Q

Spur gear

A

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
Q

Helical gear

A

Transmission drive between parallel shafts

Produce axial load on represpective bearings

27
Q

Rack and pinion

A

Converts rotation motion to kinda reflect

28
Q

Worm gear

A

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
Q

Bevel gear

A

transmit the drive between shafts which have intersecting axes
Found in engines main dive shalf of engine to drive accessory

30
Q

Hearing bone gear

A

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
Q

Backlash

A

Gap between teeth at point of contact

32
Q

Idler gear

A

Support gear between the driver and the driven , extra support

33
Q

Pinion

A

Smaller of 2 mating gears

34
Q

Lay shaft

A

Supports a idlier or intermittent gear

35
Q

Step up drive

A

Provides high speed output compared to imput

36
Q

Step down drive

A

Provides high speed imput composted to outout

37
Q

Gear trains

A

2 or more gears on a series of shafts

38
Q

Reduction gears

A

Reduces speed going from gear to gear

39
Q

Accessory drive unit

A

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
Q

Planetary (Epicyclic) Reduction Gear Train

A

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
Q

Stepped pulls drive

A

With a single-pulley drive, only as many rotational speeds can be reached as the belt pulleys have stages.

42
Q

Multiple pulls drive

A

Two three stage pulls in series produce 9 rotational speeds

Needs to be switched on for it to work

43
Q

Toothed wheel gears

A
  • 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
Q

Infinity variable rotational speeds

A

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
Q

Driving key type gears

A

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
Q

Cone pulley drive

A

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
Q

Transmission Component Control Mechanism specification

A
  • Safe
  • Lightweight
  • Movement free from play
48
Q

Cables

A 
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
Q

Push rods

A

Used to operate rudders flaps

can transmit pulling and pushing forces.

50
Q

Quadrants

A

Forces are transferred to cables via cable quadrants and the forces of the cables are also transmitted to push rods via cable quadrants

51
Q

Rotator selector

A

Transmit Swinging or rotary movements
