    Study Notes

    Gear Types

    • Two helical gears, one with a right-hand helix and the other with a left-hand helix, are equivalent to a double helical gear (or herringbone gear).

    Bolt Specifications

    • The nominal diameter of bolts typically refers to the major diameter, which is the largest diameter of the threaded portion.

    Lubrication Types

    • Manual or drip lubrication refers to lubrication by the application of grease or oil without using pressurized systems.

    Mating of Cylindrical Parts

    • The opposite of clearance in cylindrical part mating is known as interference when the internal member is larger than the external member.

    Electromagnetic Brakes

    • An electromagnetic brake uses an electromagnet to generate a force that slows down or stops a rotating wheel.

    Stress-Strain Characteristics

    • The stress-strain curve for a glass rod during a tensile test typically shows a brittle behavior, with minimal plastic deformation before fracture.

    Gear Ratios

    • The ratio of the number of teeth to the pitch diameter of a gear is called the gear's tooth density or gear ratio.

    Key Types

    • A woodruff key is commonly used where maximum torque capacity is desired due to its unique design.

    Radial Distance

    • The radial distance between the sharp crest of a gear tooth and the bounding cylinder is known as the addendum.

    Quantities Description

    • Exact quantities are those that are completely specified by their known magnitude, such as length or mass.

    Stress Ratio

    • The ratio of stress acting on an elastic material to the decrease in volume per unit volume is known as the bulk modulus.

    Material Strength

    • The ability of a material to withstand completely reversing loads is referred to as fatigue strength.

    Pitch Circle Circumference Ratio

    • The ratio of the circumference of the pitch circle to the number of teeth is referred to as the pitch of the gear.

    Common Thread Types

    • Unified National Thread is a type of thread commonly used in manufacturing for its standardized dimensions.

    Thread Angle

    • The angle included between the sides of a screw thread, measured in an axial plane, is typically 60 degrees for standard threads.

    Tooth Space Depth

    • The depth of tooth space below the pitch circle is termed the dedendum.

    Material Strain Properties

    • The property of a material relating lateral strain to longitudinal strain is known as the Poisson's ratio.

    Twisting Strength

    • The characteristic of a material to withstand forces causing twisting is referred to as its torsional strength.
