What are the methods of applying lubricants on a machine?
The methods of applying lubricants on a machine include drip feed, manual application using a brush, spray application using a spray can or spray gun, and automatic lubrication systems that deliver a precise amount of lubricant at set intervals. Each method has its own advantages and is chosen based on the specific needs of the machine and the lubrication requirements.
How could you adjust force feed lubricator flow?
To adjust the flow of a force feed lubricator, you can typically control it using a flow adjustment knob or screw located on the lubricator. Turning the knob or screw clockwise increases the flow rate, while turning it counterclockwise decreases the flow rate. It's important to refer to the specific manufacturer's instructions for proper adjustment.
What are the cutting forces involved in orthogonal cutting?
The main cutting forces involved in orthogonal cutting are the cutting force (Fc), the thrust force (Ft), and the radial force (Fr). Fc is perpendicular to the cutting edge and is responsible for the material removal. Ft is parallel to the cutting edge and is needed to overcome the resistance of the workpiece. Fr is directed towards the center of the cutting edge and helps stabilize the cutting process.
When setting the water level in a feed and expansion cistern what allowance in volume should be made for expansion of the water?
A typical allowance for water expansion in a feed and expansion cistern is around 10%. This extra volume accommodates the expansion that occurs as the water heats up and reduces the risk of overflow or pressure buildup in the system.
All automotive engines that are equipped with full-floating pistons pins use which type of lubrication systems?
Full Force Feed
What is gravity feed lubrication?
gravity feed lubrication is when the lubricant is pumped to the top of the object needing lubrication, and falls on top of the object, covering it and lubricating it. An example would be a wet sump car engine.
What determines the maximum oil pressure in a force feed lubrication as the engine speed increases?
Oil pumps have a spring operated regulator and the spring's tension determines the max oil pressure.
Can you force feed a gecko?
No you cannot force feed any animal.
What is force feed lubrication?
Force feed lubrication systems are designed to accurately deliver, monitor, and protect oil delivery to pumps, compressors, or any other critical equipment. A system is usually comprised of a divider block which automatically directs the oil to several points, a lubricator pump to deliver the oil under sometimes very high pressure, and a computer to monitor the flow of the oil, to give totals, averages, alarms, etc. For example a reciprocating compressor may need oil delivered directly to the piston area itself. This would require generating enough oil pressure to overcome what ever gas pressure may be at the piston area. Sometimes several hundred to a few thousand psi may need to be produced by the force feed lubricator.
What are the 5 kinds of lubrication systems and state clearly their application and how they function?
SPLASH The splash system is no longer used in automotive engines. It is widely used in small four-cycle engines for lawn mowers, outboard marine operation, and so on. In the splash lubricating system, oil is splashed up from the oil pan or oil trays in the lower part of the crankcase. The oil is thrown upward as droplets or fine mist and provides adequate lubrication to valve mechanisms, piston pins, cylinder walls, and piston rings. In the engine, dippers on the connecting-rod bearing caps enter the oil pan with each crankshaft revolution to produce the oil splash. A passage is drilled in each connecting rod from the dipper to the bearing to ensure lubrication. This system is too uncertain for automotive applications. One reason is that the level of oil in the crankcase will vary greatly the amount of lubrication received by the engine. A high level results in excess lubrication and oil consumption and a slightly low level results in inadequate lubrication and failure of the engine. A splash lubrication system is provided for motor vehicle transmissions and comprises an oil sump in the bottom portion of a case. The case accommodates a transmission shaft provided with gears which are immersed in the oil at least partly when the said oil sump is filled completely. In order to prevent the synchronizing mechanism from being blocked by cold and, consequently, very viscous oil in the presence of extremely low operating conditions--a condition which could lead to unsynchronized faulty gear shifting operations and, thus, damage to the transmission, the oil sump is connected with a cavity into which oil is drawn from the oil sump under low operating temperature conditions of the transmission. To this end, preferably, an expansion body is arranged in a cavity in the transmission shaft which contracts under cold conditions, and the cavity is connected. Combination Splash and Force Feed In a combination splash and force feed (fig.), oil is delivered to some parts by means of splashing and other parts through oil passages under pressure from the oil pump. The oil from the pump enters the oil galleries. From the oil galleries, it flows to the main bearings and camshaft bearings. The main bearings have oil-feed holes or grooves that feed oil into drilled passages in the crankshaft. The oil flows through these passages to the connecting rod bearings. From there, on some engines, it flows through holes drilled in the connecting rods to the piston-pin bearings. Cylinder walls are lubricated by splashing oil thrown off from the connecting-rod bearings. Some engines use small troughs under each connecting rod that are kept full by small nozzles which deliver oil under pressure from the oil pump. These oil nozzles deliver an increasingly heavy stream as speed increases. At very high speeds these oil streams are powerful enough to strike the dippers directly. This causes a much heavier splash so that adequate lubrication of the pistons and the connecting-rod bearings is provided at higher speeds. If a combination system is used on an overhead valve engine, the upper valve train is lubricated by pressure from the pump. FORCE FEED A somewhat more complete pressurization of lubrication is achieved in the force-feed lubrication system (fig.). Oil is forced by the oil pump from the crankcase to the main bearings and the camshaft bearings. Unlike the combination system the connecting-rod bearings are also fed oil under pressure from the pump. Oil passages are drilled in the crankshaft to lead oil to the connecting-rod bearings. The passages deliver oil from the main bearing journals to the rod bearing journals. In some engines, these opening are holes that line up once for every crankshaft revolution. In other engines, there are annular grooves in the main bearings through which oil can feed constantly into the hole in the crankshaft. The pressurized oil that lubricates the connecting- rod bearings goes on to lubricate the pistons and walls by squirting out through strategically drilled holes. This lubrication system is used in virtually all engines that are equipped with semi floating piston pins. Full Force Feed In a full force-feed lubrication system (fig.), the main bearings, rod bearings, camshaft bearings, and the complete valve mechanism are lubricated by oil under pressure. In addition, the full force-feed lubrication system provides lubrication under pressure to the pistons and the piston pins. This is accomplished by holes drilled the length of the connecting rod, creating an oil passage from the connecting rod bearing to the piston pin bearing. This passage not only feeds the piston pin bearings but also provides lubrication for the pistons and cylinder walls. This system is used in virtually all engines that are equipped with full-floating piston pins. kinds of Lubrication Differing widely in viscosity, specific gravity, vapor pressure, boiling point, and other properties, lubricants also offer a wide range of selection for the increasingly varied needs of modern industry. But whatever their derivation or properties, the purpose of lubricants is to replace dry friction with either thin-film or fluid-film friction, depending on the load, speed, or intermittent action of the moving parts. Thin-film lubrication, in which there is some contact between the moving parts, usually is specified where heavy loads are a factor. In fluid, or thick-film, lubrication a pressure film is formed between moving surfaces and keeps them completely apart. This type of lubrication cannot easily be maintained in high-speed machinery and therefore is used where reciprocating or oscillating conditions are moderate.
