MATERIAL FLAKING [5 records]

Record 1 2015-03-06

English

Subject field(s)
  • Bearings and Bearing Systems (Mechanical Components)
OBS

A bearing is a relatively inexpensive replaceable wear surface, which reduces friction between rotating shafts and fixed housings. The intent is for bearings to protect more expensive parts, of an engine such as the crankshaft and camshaft as well as the engine block and connecting rods.... This requires that bearings be capable of withstanding very high loads which are constantly changing in magnitude and direction. These are commonly referred to as cyclic loads which may eventually result in bearing lining fatigue or flaking if the bearing material does not have adequate fatigue strength.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Paliers, coussinets et roulements (Composants mécaniques)
CONT

Le moteur à induit plat. [...] l'induit n'est à palier que d'un côté, ainsi le collecteur ne s'encrasse pas. Le coussinet du palier est composé de métal aggloméré et de ce fait ne nécessite pas de lubrification.

OBS

A bearing is a relatively inexpensive replaceable wear surface, which reduces friction between rotating shafts and fixed housings. The intent is for bearings to protect more expensive parts, of an engine such as the crankshaft and camshaft as well as the engine block and connecting rods. In addition, bearings must also support the moving parts. This requires that bearings be capable of withstanding very high loads which are constantly changing in magnitude and direction. These are commonly referred to as cyclic loads which may eventually result in bearing lining fatigue or flaking if the bearing material does not have adequate fatigue strength.

OBS

coussinet : Douille cylindrique, généralement en bronze, parfois garnie de métal antifriction, qui permet, après un frottement doux, la rotation de l'axe qu'elle supporte. (Les coussinets sont souvent composés de deux ou plusieurs pièces, celles-ci pouvant éventuellement être rapprochées les unes des autres par le serrage d'écrous, afin de compenser l'usure résultant du frottement.)

OBS

palier : Organe servant à supporter et à guider un arbre tournant. [...] Le palier lisse le plus simple est constitué par un corps en fonte portant une semelle de fixation parallèle à l'axe de l'arbre; [...] Les surfaces servant d'appui à l'arbre sont constituées par deux coussinets en fonte douce ou en bronze, généralement recouverts d'alliage antifriction.

OBS

Le moteur à induit plat. [...] l'induit n'est à palier que d'un côté, ainsi le collecteur ne s'encrasse pas. le coussinet du palier est composé de métal aggloméré et de ce fait ne nécessite pas de lubrification.

CONT

Flaked products may be made from corn, rice, or wheat.... Hominy for flaking is cooked in rotary steam cookers for 2-3 hr and is flavored with sugar, salt, malt, honey, or other ingredients while in the cookers. The cooked grits are broken up, cooled, dried to a moisture content of about 15%, and then in tempering bins for 6-8 hr to equalize moisture distribution. After the tempering process, the material is passed through heavy-duty flaking machines. The flakes thus produced go to special-type ovens for toasting, after which they are cooled and placed in storage bins until packaged.
