Fire extinguisher maintenance, repair, inspection, hydrostatic testing, carbon dioxide, dry chemical, recharging, cartridges, nitrogen, pressure bushing, compressed air, cleaning, recharge.

CONT

The Drill Sargent... adds a new dimension to the drill press-the added security of clamping pressure without the aid of external clamps.... Components : A. Retaining Ring. B. Pressure Adjustment Nut. C. Clamp. D. Quill Clamp Bolts.... L. Pressure Bushings.... In the event that you would want to apply more than 60 pounds of initial pressure, two Pressure Bushings(L) have been provided. Each bushing, when installed, will add an additional 30 pounds of initial pressure. [An illustration is given. ]

Record 3 2002-11-05

English

Subject field(s)
  • Spacecraft
CONT

Early telemetry from the spin-stabilized IMAGE spacecraft indicated that the vehicle's initial nutation was not decaying. This behavior was especially puzzling because the spacecraft's passive nutation damper behaved as expected while IMAGE was attached to the spinning upper stage.... In a partially-filled ring damper, the excess kinetic energy associated with nutation is dissipated by fluid viscosity when inertial forces cause the liquid to move through the tube. However, post-launch analysis indicated that the IMAGE damper liquid was immobilized by surface tension. This was an unanticipated consequence of the vehicle's low spin rate.

Record 5 1981-02-24

English

Subject field(s)
  • Mechanical Components
  • Industrial Tools and Equipment
OBS

The initial radial internal clearance of spherical roller bearings(...) and the expansion of the inner ring resulting from the interference fit are relatively large and, with the exception of small bearings, the radial internal clearance before and after mounting can be measured quite simply using feeler gauges having blades of 0, 03 mm thickness or more.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Composants mécaniques
  • Outillage industriel
OBS

Dans le cas des roulements à rotule sur rouleaux, le jeu initial (...) et l'expansion de la bague intérieure nécessaire à un ajustement serré sont suffisamment grands pour que l'on puisse mesurer facilement le jeu interne pendant les opérations de montage, et en déduire la réduction de jeu et le serrage obtenus. La mesure est faite, e général, à l'aide de lames calibrées, dont la plus mince a 0,03 mm d'épaisseur.
