B
The advantage of using a group belt instead of multiple is that the group is
less expensive
more durable
more flexible
more uniform
D
Because of their moveable side flanges, spring loaded adjustable sheaves require
fixed-center drive machinery
frequent adjustment
lubrication
timing belts
C
Among the advantage of chain drives over belt drives is the fact chain drives
are more efficient
are quieter
can connect sprockets on shafts at 90 degree
tolerate more misalignment
A
Roller chains include the following parts
bearings, pin links, rollers, contoured teeth
bushing, bearings, pin teeth, roller links

roller links, pin links, rollers, bushings
D
Offset roller chains differs from standard roller chains in that the sidebars are ___ on one end of each link
closer together
elongated
heavier
missing
A
A chain sprocket with a hub on both sides is a Type ___ sprocket. A sprocket with a hub on only one side is a Type ___ sprocket
A;B
B;A
C;B
B;C
C
When you install a roller chain proper procedure includes
installing the chain with a slight amount of slack on both sides
installing the chain with tension on the driving side only
installing the chain with tension on the non-driving side only
moving one or both sprockets to draw the chain tight on both sides
B
The working depth of a gear is the distance a gear tooth
extends into the space between the teeth of the mating surface
penetrates the arc of the pitch circle of the mating gear
rises from the root of the gear
spans along the pitch circle
A
calculate the diametrical pitch of the gear below
1.57
2.00
2.04
2.26
C
The advantages of helical gears over spur gears include
double cutting action
side thrust
smooth action
variable gear ratio
C
Herringbone gears differ from double cut helical gears in that they
lower helix angles
no gap between the two sets of teeth
produce no side thrust
run at higher speeds
B
The axial pitch of a warm gear is the linear distance
a tooth on the mating spur gear advances for each rotation of the worm
between the screw threads
from one end of the worm thread to the other end
from the worm thread to a plane perpendicular to the worm centerline
B
The main purpose of a miter-gear box is to change the ___ its gear ration is typically about ___ to one
direction of motion; one
power delivered; two
power ratio; ten
speed of shaft; two
A
The main steps in installing a new foot mounted gear drive include
aligning the equipment
checking the gear ratio
installing the right size gears
measuring the motor speed
A
The mechanical power of a gear drive is based on the ___ of the gear drive
size and torque limit
speed and size
speed and torque limit
torque limit and gear ratio
C
The service factor for a gear drive depends in part on the
duty cycle
gear ratio
overload capacity
thermal power rating
A
In parallel shaft gear drives, oil is commonly provided to the gears by means of
gravity feed and reservoirs
periodic maintenance
reservoirs, wicks, and troughs
splash lubrication and pressurized feed
D
The most important factors in selecting an adjustable speed drive include the units
cost, energy consumption, and speed range
maintenance req., max power, size
max power, speed required, and speed range
speed response, reliability, and size
C
As you force together the flanges on the input sheave of an adjustable speed belt drive while it is running, the flanges on the output sheave move ___ and the output shaft speed ___
closer together, decreases
down, decreases
further apart, increases
up, increases
C
An adjustable speed drive can be controlled by a
crank mechanism, spring, or microprocessor
gear mechanism, electric motor, or pneumatic piston
electric relay, flexible shaft, or spring
pneumatic piston, microprocessor, or flexible shaft
B
The belts used in adjustable speed drives resemble ___ belts. In drives that use chain, the chain is similar to a ___ chain
conveyor, roller
flat, conveyor
timing, leaf
V, silent
C
