grinder

13
Q

What kind of plate is more convenient to install but reduces the working capacity of the chain by 30%

A

The slip fitted plate

14
Q

What is the correct way to install a spring clip

A

The closed end must be installed in the direction of the rotation

15
Q

Referring to chain tension too much tension can cause what to happen

A

Reduced chain and sprocket life
over load the bearings on the driver and the driven
inadequate lubrication in the pins and bushings

16
Q

If you have too little tension what can happen

A

Chain whip and vibration
chain sagging
chain wrap up

17
Q

What can be a cause of pin failure

A

Lack of lubrication

18
Q

What is one way the chain can be elongated

26
Q

Does a type A sprocket come with or without a hub.

A

Without a hub

mounted onto any style hub with bolts

27
Q

Type B sprocket is a one-piece sprocket and hub on one side how should you mount this on a shaft

A

You should have the sprocket mounted closest to the bearing and the hub away from the bearing

Q

What is a common rule when replacing a shear pin on a shear pin hub

A

To change a shear pin with one that has the same shear value
