Term
What is friction? What kind of friction is the most severe?
Definition
Friction is the resistance of motion between two mating parts. Sliding friction is the most severe.
Term
What is viscosity?
Definition
It is the measurement of resistance of a fluid to flow.
Term
What is the difference between an anti friction bearing and a plain bearing?
Definition
Anti Friction bearings use rolling motion to support a load and reduce friction. Anti-friction bearings produce less friction than plain bearings.
Term
What can happen if you over oil an anti-friction bearing?
Definition
Too much oil can cause it to begin to churn and result in overheating.
Term
What is Sliding Friction?
Definition
It is the resistance one surface has as it slides over another.
Term
What are the three types of cutting fluids?
Definition
Cutting Oil, Soluble/Emulsified and Chemical/Synthetic.
Term
What is Rolling Friction?
Definition
It is the resistance one surface meets as it rolls over another.
Term
What is the purpose of lubrication?
Definition
The purpose of lubrication is to prevent wear and corrosion.
Term
Do higher spindle speeds require low or high viscosity oil?
Definition
The higher the rpm the lower the viscosity required and vice versa.
Term
The lowest temperature that a fluid will flow is known as the...
Definition
Pour Point
Term
What is critical in the splash lubrication system?
Definition
The oil must be maintained at the proper level to distribute oil properly and prevent frothing.
Term
In a wick feed system the wick doubles as an _____.
Definition
The wick doubles as an oil filter in a wick feed system.
Term
What is a drip feed system?
Definition
It is a lubrication system that has the oil reserve flow using gravity and it is controlled with a needle valve that can be throttled to change the flow rate.
Term
How does a ring/slinger oiling system work?
Definition
It oils by having a ring spin loosely around a shaft and the bottom edge of the ring sits inside oil. When the oiled part of the ring reaches the top it deposits some of the collected oil on the shaft.
Term
How does a enclosed circulating/recirculating system work? What are the advantages?
Definition
It pumps oil through its tubing forcing it using pressure into a bearing. The oil enters the bearing through a hole and spreads all over the bearing through a series of oil grooves. It's effective as it ensures a constant flow of oil and uses pressure to deliver the oil instead of metal to metal contact thus avoiding wear.
Term
What is wedge action?
Definition
It is when oil is what is prevent contact between bearing surfaces when they are brought up to rpm.
Term
What is the purpose of cutting fluids?
Definition
To reduce temperature, lubricate and increase chip flow.
Term
When mixing oil and water what one should be added into the other?
Definition
The oil should be added into the water.
Term
What are some characteristics of a good cutting fluid?
Definition
1) They must cool the workpiece.
2) They must lubricate.
3) They must resist corrosion.
4) They must remain stable.
5) They must resist becoming rancid.
6) They must be non-toxic.
7) They should be transparent.
8) They should have relatively low viscosity.
9) They must be non-flammable.
Term
What is the application of Cutting Oils?
Definition
They are for low speed applications such as tapping, reaming or broaching.
Term
What is the application of Emulsifiable(soluble) oils?
Definition
They are used for high-speed applications such as lathe and milling operations.
Term
What is the best way to introduce coolant when drilling and reaming?
Definition
Directly to the cutting edge through the use of holow tooling or oil hole drills.
Term
When would you use kerosene as a cutting fluid?
Definition
When you are drilling/reaming aluminum you would use kerosene.
