Record 3 2001-11-06

English

Subject field(s)
  • Orbital Stations
  • Space Exploration Equipment and Tools
CONT

To provide the increased mass handling capability and mobility of Canadarm2, Latching End Effectors(LEE) have been designed to provide power and data signals at both ends of the arm.(These are the devices that provide the actual electrical and mechanical interface to the Power Data Grapple Fixtures... Additionally, the increased requirement for mass handling necessitated the use of mechanical latches that will augment the three-wire snare mechanism(first developed for the Shuttle's Canadarm) as the principal load bearing device. Incorporated into one elegant assembly, this electro-mechanical interface appears four times on each Canadarm2 LEE. The precision alignment of the mating connectors is achieved through the introduction of a matching pair of curvic couplings.

CONT

... the SSRMS [Space Station Remote Manipulator System] has been designed in such a manner that a Latching End Effector is mounted at each end of the arm, thus allowing the arm to "walk", hand over hand, around the entire space station. The range of accessibility of the SSRMS will be limited only the the number of Power Data Grapple Fixtures (PDGF) installed on the station.

OBS

latching end effector; LEE: term and abbreviation officially approved by the International Space Station official approval Group (ISSOAG).

PHR

Latching end effector unit.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Stations orbitales
  • Équipement et outillage d'exploration spatiale
CONT

Le nouveau bras [destiné à la Station spatiale internationale] peut se déplacer à l'image d'un ver de terre. Il est équipé à chaque extrémité d'un système de capture appelé «Latching End Effector (LEE)» qui peut venir s'attacher sur une autre structure le «Power Data Grapple Fixtures (PDGF)». En se détachant d'une extrémité, le bras peut ainsi se déplacer le long de la station dans un large rayon en fonction des structures PDGF installées.

OBS

effecteur de verrouillage; LEE : terme et abréviation uniformisés par le Groupe de travail de la terminologie de la Station spatiale internationale (GTTSSI).

PHR

Bloc de l'effecteur de verrouillage.

CONT

[...] les appareils en «mono» utilisent souvent des fiches à trois broches [...]; les fiches à 6 broches sont employées pour l'alimentation ou la commande départ et stop.

Record 6 1988-03-28

English

Subject field(s)
  • Lathe Work (Machine-Tooling)
CONT

The three-wire method of measuring threads is... recognized as one of the best methods of checking the pitch diameter because the results are least affected by an error which may be present in the included thread angle.... Three wires, of equal diameter, are placed in thread; two on one side and one on the other side.... A standard micrometer may then be used to measure the distance over the wires.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Tournage sur métaux
CONT

Indépendamment des tampons et bagues filetées, d'un usage courant, pour le contrôle des filetages, la vérification du diamètre à flancs de filet est également faite au moyen d'un micromètre à filet de vis ou par la méthode des piges (tampons tangents cylindriques).
