6. BEARINGS
A bearing is a machine part which supports shafts and spindles. We know bearings to be classified as plain bearings and antifriction bearings and antifriction bearings.

In plain bearings one friction surface slides upon another. Plain bearings may be of two classes: bearings with a contin­uous rotary motion and those with an intermittent motion. The first class of plain bearings is represented by journal bearings and thrust bearings. Journal bearings are bearings carrying a load which acts at right angles to the shaft axis. Thrust bearings take a load acting in the direction of the shaft axis. The second class of plain bearings embraces bear­ings of parts having a rocking motion, or a linear reciprocat­ing motion.

Antifriction bearings are also subdivided in two main classes depending upon the type of rolling elements: ball bearings and roller bearings. In rotating machines, noise and vibration are indications of faulty operation of ball bear­ings or roller bearings. A ball bearing consists of two rings: an inner ring and an outer ring between which there are hardened steel balls spaced in a ball retainer or cage. If the inner ring had been lifted to a tilt position, the balls would have been forced to climb one side of the raceway during a part of revolution, with, resulting drag on the bearing retainer, then, the balls would have accelerated down the raceway to climb the opposite side in the other part of the revolution, reversing the strains on the bearing retainer. In this instance, the balls, instead of rotating about a true horizontal axis, rush to turn from contact with the sides of the raceway and to reverse their direction of turn during the second half of the revolution. In rotating machines, the balls are spaced so that they do not touch each other, thus reducing wear and noise. They require an absolutely parallel raceway to roll upon, entirely free from eccentricity, wobble or other varia­tions.

Ball bearings may be of the following types: radial bear­ings, thrust bearings, and radial-thrust bearings. Intheir turn radial ball bearings which serve to take loads acting at right angles to the shaft axis, may be of two types: single- row (Fig. 44) and double-row radial bearings. All the radial bearings are used when high speeds are required. The pre­cision-made radial bearings give the finest service together with a long bearing life. Thrust ball bearings are bearings taking axial loads and giving maximum efficiency with combined journal and thrust loads. They are also recommended for thrust duty¹ at high speeds. Radial ball bearings can take both radial and axial loads.

Fig. 44. Single-Row Ball Bearing:

1 – inner ring or inner race; 2 — outer ring or outer race­; 3 — ball retainer or cage; 4 - ball

In roller bearings hardened steel rollers are used between the rings instead of balls. Roller bearings permit a larger load and have a longer bearing life in comparison with ball bearings. The rollers used in roller bearings may be of differ­ent shape: cylindrical, conical, spherical, and concave. Roller bearings, in turn, may be subdivided into single-row and double row bearings. Bearings with cylindrical rollers are intended to take radial loads, while those with conical rollers may take both radial and axial loads.

IX. (a) Read and translate the text without using a diction­ary:

Automatic assembly and inspection machine for anti­friction bearings. The range of air-operated gauging equip­ment made by some plants for checking ball and roller bear­ings is being extended to include fully- and semi-automatic machines for carrying out assembly' as well as inspections on most types of precision antifriction bearings. One of the new machines for automatic assembling and inspecting taper roller bearings is discussed below. On this machine, the inner-race is automatically checked for diameter, and rollers of the required size are selected. Assembly of the race, rollers and cage is next carried out to produce a bearing with pre­determined clearance. The bearing is then checked for torque, noise level,¹ and assemblies which are not acceptable are automatically rejected.

7. CLUTCHES
A clutch is a device for connecting two parts, such as shafts or a shaft and a pulley. The difference between a coupl­ing and a clutch is that a coupling is used to connect two shafts permanently, while a clutch may ensure easy and quick connection and disconnection of two shafts. Clutches used in lathes are subdivided into several types, such as rigid coupl­ings and disengaging clutches. A rigid coupling serves for connecting coaxial shafts which are not disengaged in the process of operation. Fig. 45 shows a rigid coupling, which consists of a solid bushing connecting electric motor and lathe shafts by means of a key. Disengaging clutches are applied, in lathes for temporary engage­ment and disengagement of a shaft and parts connected with it. They are divided into friction clut­ches and jaw clutches. Friction clutches serve to connect a station­ary machine part to transmit the required power. Sometimes friction clutches are intended as safety devices to prevent the breakage of parts in the trans-emission train.

Friction clutches may be divided into two groups, accord­ing to the direction of the acting, force: axial clutches and radial or rim clutches. In axial clutches the contact pressure is applied in a direction parallel to the axis of rotation, while in rim clutches the contact pressure is applied upon a rim in a radial direction. Axial clutches can be subdivided into cone clutches, and combined cone and disc clutches. Fig. 46 shows a cone clutch. By moving a movable wheel the cone

Fig. 45. Rigid Coupling:

1 — electric motor shaft; 2 — solid bushing; 3 — lathe shaft
disc connected with the toothed wheel by a key may engage the cone located in the movable wheel. Thus the cone disc is pressed against the inside cone of the movable disc, friction necessary fur transmitting rotary movement to the movable

1 — toothed wheel; 2 — cone disc; 3 — movable wheel; 4 —eccentric clamp; 5 — spring
wheel being created between the two cones. The outside cones are meshed by an eccentric clamp. By turning the eccentric clamp to 90° the friction clutch is disengaged, a spring pressing out the toothed wheel from the friction disc. Radial or rim clutches may be classified as band clutches, block clutches, and as external, internal, and combined intern­al and external clutches. Jaw clutches consist of two half-clutches—a fixed one and a movable one which have jaws on their faces. The fixed half-clutch is rigidly fastened on one shaft, the movable one being keyed to another shaft. The shafts are connected through the coupling of jaws on f both half-clutches.

The following factors are decisive in selecting the type of clutch to be used: torque, rotative speed, available space, and frequency of operation. When a heavy torque should be transmitted a clutch must have sufficient gripping power, which is usually ensured by multi-disc clutches. For low-speed service cone and rim clutches are used. For high rotative speeds light, compact and internally balanced clutches of the multi-disc type may be applied. Space being limited, multi-disc, twin-cone and double-cone clutches are used because of their greater compactness in comparison with other types of clutches. Single-disc clutches with metal contact

surfaces and cone clutches are the most suitable ones for frequent or continuous operation.

IX. Translate the following text in written form using a dictionary:

The multi-disc clutch is usually equipped with automatic cone brake. Moving the clutch control handle to the left compresses the clutch driving discs to set the lathe driving shaft in motion. To disengage the clutch, the clutch control handle should be moved to the right. The clutch driving discs then automatically separate and the brake takes hold to stop the lathe driving shaft with a smooth, quick stop, holding it rigid for ease in locking work in chuck or other operations requiring a fixed spindle. When necessary to turn the spindle by hand, it may be entirely disconnected from the driving shaft by throwing the lathe's regular gearshift handles into their neutral position.¹ The speed with which the brake will stop the lathe is affected by weight of the workpiece that is in the lathe.
