4. Explain what a split cotter pin is used for.

Split cotter pin/ Used to lock components, prevent fasteners from coming
'unfastened. lock-nuts on suspension systems.
 5. Engineering/CAD

5. Explain what a cotter pin is used for.

Cotter pin / Used to retain components, usually where loads are

transmitted.
.

6. Describe what a dowel pin and taper pin does.

dowel pin and taper pin / Provides location, alignment.

7. List 5 features relating to components turned on a lathe.

1)Straight knurling
2)Shoulder
3)Chamfer
4)Keyway
5)Undercut
 8. Engineering/CAD

8. Define the following types of holes: drilled, reamed, counterbore,

countersunk & spotface.

Drilled/Loose tolerance, for pilot holes or clearance holes for fasteners.

Reamed /Accurate finishing process after drilling or boring.
Counterbore/Usually used to recess the head of a square shouldered
fastener.
countersunk/Usually used to recess the head of a countersink screw.
Spotface/Used to clean up and level the surrounding area, usually for
a fastener or something such as a hydraulic fitting using a seal.
 9. Engineering/CAD

9. Explain how the following threads are created: Female thread-through,

Female thread-blind & Male thread.

Female thread-through/ Usually drilled and tapped.

Female thread, blind/ Usually drilled and tapped.
Male thread/ Usually cut with a die, turned or rolled. Note use of
undercut or groove and appearance of thread in sectioned view.
 10. Engineering/CAD

10. List and describe two types of springs.

Compression/ A spring that is coiled up and has resistance to it

Tension/ The tension already gathered in between an exstension springs

coils to keep the coils together is called initial tension
 11. Engineering/CAD

11. List and describe two types of Knurling.

Straight/ Is the the pattern on the lathe

Diamond/ is the diamond shape on the lathe

 12. Engineering/CAD

12. List 4 types of bearings.

1)Deep Groove (near)

2)Angular contact (far)
3)Roller (near)
4)Taper roller (far)
 13. Engineering/CAD

13. List and describe three types of gears.

Bevel/ A gear that is working another gear at an angle to it by means of
bevel wheels.
Spur/ Is a gear wheel with teeth that is projecting parallel to the wheels
axis
Worm and wheel/ A worm and wheel gear is when a worm meshes with
a worm gear.
 14. Engineering/CAD

14. List and define three types of shaft ends.

Square: Frequently used for hand driven adjustments with removable
handles, such as those found on machine tools, etc.
Serrations: Often used for push fit components such as plastic fans or
pulleys, or levers such as motorcycle gear shifters.
Splines: Usually used for transmitting rotational torque and allowing an
axial 'sliding' movement.
 15. Engineering/CAD

15. List and define two types of belt drives.

V belt drives: Used for transmission of rotary power, good for space
restricted applications. Vbelts grip on the sides of the V.
Timing or synchronous drives: Used for transmission of rotary power,
as are v-belts, and, because of the toothed design (no slip) they are
used for timed (synchronised) drives, where relative rotational
positions have to be controlled. Some type of tensioning system is
usually required.
