21
Q

Cutting the teeth in spur gears is a type of form milling. That is the work is done with?

A

Special profile cutters which form the sides of the teeth in a gear blank

22
Q

Spur gear OD formula

A

OD = number of teeth + 2
————————-
Diametral pitch

23
Q

Several things affect cutter selection when you mill gear teeth, they are?

A

Diametral pitch of the gear
Number of teeth
Material of the gear blank

24
Q

The tooth spaces in a small gear have a different size and shape than those in a larger gear with the same?

A

Diametral pitch

25
Q

A series of how many cutters has been developed to suit the different number of gear teeth?

A

Eight cutters

26
Q

Many gear blanks are too large to be mounted on a dividing head. In such cases they are mounted on a?

A

Rotary table

27
Q

Use a micrometer to check?

A

The dimension over pins

28
Q

Gear tooth vernier calipers are used to check?

A

Tooth thickness at the gears pitch circle

29
Q

The AB line is called?

A

The lead of the helix

30
Q

What is pitch?

A

Pitch is another term used in describing a helix. Pitch is the distance between adjacent helices that are wound on a common cylinder

31
Q

The milling machine lead determines?

A

The lead of the helix it will produce

32
Q

You use a system of gearing called _____ between the lead screw of the milling machine and the worm shaft of the dividing head.

A

Change gears

33
Q

Lm = milling machine lead
Lh = lead of the helix to be cut
Tg = number of teeth in the dividing head
Tn = number of teeth in the driven gears

A

Lm = Tg
— —
Lh Tn

34
Q

The worm shaft of the dividing head is meant to utilize how many gears?

A

Four gears

35
Q

To expand fractions what do you do?

A

Multiply the numerators and denominators of both fractions by a number which produces figures to match the numbers of teeth on the change gears

36
Q

Drive systems with three gears can be used to cut both right hand or a left hand helix by reversing the direction of gear rotation of the?

A

Dividing head spindle

37
Q

To determine how far apart the 15 teeth are on the circumference of the work piece what do you do?

A

Divide 360 by 15

38
Q

You must swivel the table 12 degrees in order to?

A

Cut the 12 degree helix angle

39
Q

If you draw the cutter back through the work what could happen?

A

You could damage the critical features of the tooth surfaces

40
Q

Normal diametral pitch is a measurement you will use when describing?

A

The proportions of helical gear teeth. This differs from the circular pitch used to describe tooth dimensions in spur gears

41
Q

After you mill each tooth why should you lower the table?

A

So you do not drag the cutter back through the newly cut tooth space

42
Q

What do cams do?

A

They change the direction of motion of machine parts

43
Q

Although the cam forces the follower upward, the system depends on what to bring the follower back down to its starting position.

A

It depends on gravity, a spring, or some other force

44
Q

What is cam rise?

A

Rise is the distance that one lobe moves the follower from its starting point

45
Q

What is cam lead?

A

Lead of the cam is the total distance that a lobe on a uniform-rise cam would move the follower if the lobe extended a full 360

46
Q

How do you mill a uniform rise cam

A

You do this by holding the workpiece in a dividing head whose spindle is geared to the milling machine lead screw. You must use a vertical milling attachment for this setup

47
Q

The axis of the dividing head spindle and the axis of the cutter must always be?

A

Parallel, they must also be at some angle other than horizontal when milling plate cams

48
Q

Assume the rise of each lobe in the cam is?

A

.160 in.

49
Q

L = R x 36
——
C

A

R = lobe rise
C = degrees of circumference that the lobe occupies

50
Q

The incremental cut method is most often used to mill cams having?

A

A non uniform rise
