3、seit 补偿text:a coupling is a device for connecting the ends of adjacent shafts. in machine construction, couplings are used to effect a semipermanent connection between adjacent rotating shafts. the connection is permanent in the sense that it is not meant to be broken during the useful life of the m

4、achine, but it can be broken and restored in an emergency or when worn parts are replaced.there are several types of shaft couplings; their characteristics depend on the purpose for which they are used. if an exceptional long shaft is required for a line shaft in a manufacturing plant or a propeller

5、 shaft on a ship, it is made in sections that are coupled together with rigid couplings. a common type of rigid coupling consists of two mating radial flanges (disks) that are attached by key-driven hubs to the ends of adjacent shaft sections and bolted together through the flanges to form a rigid c

6、onnection. alignment of the connected shafts is usually effected by means of a rabbet joint on the face of the flanges, i.e., a short cylindrical projection on the face of one flange fits snugly in a circular recess on the face of the other flange.in connecting shafts belonging to separate devices (

7、such as an electric motor and a gear-box), precise aligning of the shafts is difficult and a flexible coupling is used. this coupling connects the shafts in such a way as to minimize the harmful effects of shaft misalignment. flexible couplings also permit the shafts to deflect under their separate

8、systems of loads and to move freely (float) in the axial direction without interfering with one another.flexible couplings can also serve to reduce the intensity of shock loads and vibrations transmitted from one shaft to another.the flexibility provided by a coupling may be only spatial, or it may

9、be both spatial and resilient (springy); in other words the coupling may compensate for shaft misalignment but provide no resilience, or it may be resilient and provide also for a small amount of misalignment. 17. clutchesvocabulary:clutch klqtf 离合器rotatable 5reuteitebl 可旋转的coaxial keu5aksel 同轴的conv

11、 device for quickly and easily connecting or disconnecting a rotatable shaft and a rotating coaxial shaft. clutches are usually placed between the input shaft to a machine and the output shaft from the driving motor, and provide a convenient means for starting and stopping the machine and permitting

12、 the driver motor or engine to be started in an unloaded state. the rotor (rotating member) in an electric motor has rotational inertia, and a torque is required to bring it up to speed when the motor is started. if the motor shaft is rigidly connected to a load with a large rotational inertia, and

13、the motor is started suddenly by closing a switch, the motor may not have sufficient torque capacity to bring the motor shaft up to speed before the windings in motor are burned out by the excessive current demands. a clutch between the motor and the load shafts will restrict the starting torque on

14、the motor to that required to accelerate the rotor and parts of the clutch only.on some machine tools, it is convenient to let the driving motor run continuously and to start and stop the machine by operating a clutch. other machine tools receive the power from belts driven by pulleys on intermediat

15、e shafts that are themselves driven by belts from long lineshafts that serve a group of machine. two pulleys that can be connected to the intermediate shaft by clutches, and driven in opposite directions by open and crossed belts from the lineshaft, can provide forward and reverse rotation for the m

16、achine.appending:manual transmissiona manual transmission has a gearbox from which the driver selects specific gears depending on road speed and engine load. gears are selected with a shift lever located on the floor next to the driver or on the steering column. the driver presses on the clutch to d

17、isengage the transmission from the engine to permit a change of gears. the clutch disk attaches to the transmissions input shaft. it presses against a circular plate attached to the engines flywheel. when the driver presses down on the clutch pedal to shift gears, a mechanical lever called a clutch

18、fork and a device called a throw-out bearing separate the two disks. releasing the clutch pedal presses the two disks together, transferring torque from the engine to the transmission.18. brakesvocabulary:brake breik 制动器flow fleu 趋向respect ris5pekt 方面resemble ri5zembl 类似arrest e5rest 停止；阻止engagement

22、e the engagement of a clutch or a brake, one of the two members in the device is moving while the other is stationary; after the engagement of a clutch both members are moving at the same speed, while after the application of a brake the moving member is either slowed down or stationary. in both cas

23、es the desired effects are produced by devices that are so alike, structurally, that they can sometimes serve in either capacity.in arresting the motion of bodies, brakes must be capable of absorbing kinetic energy. even when acting on translating bodies (like automobiles) most brakes are designed t

24、o act on rotating mechanical elements and to absorb energy either mechanically, hydraulically, or electrically. mechanical brakes are the most common: they dissipate kinetic energy in the form of heat generated by mechanical friction between a rotating metallic element and a nonrotating friction ele

25、ment, when they are brought in contact by either mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, or electrical means. the material in the friction element may be organic, metallic, or ceramic.organic materials with an asbestos bases are satisfactory for the majority of applications.when service requirements are s

26、evere, however, the heat generated may cause fading (a drop in braking effectiveness caused by a reduction in the coefficient of friction). in such cases, sintered metallic linings are preferred because of their high thermal conductivity and freedom from fading. by adding ceramic particles to sinter

27、ed metallic linings, extremely hard and fade-resistant linings can be produced.the rotating element in a mechanical brake is either a drum, a disk, or a series of disks. the nonrotating friction element in a drum brake may be either a band or a pair of shoes (blocks) that contract around the outside

28、 of the drum or a pair of shoes that expand against the inside of the drum.a disk brake may be similar to a plat clutch, with alternate rotating metallic and nonrotating friction elements, or it may be of the caliper type, with a single rotating disk and two opposed friction pads that squeeze the di

29、sk between them in a pinching action.appending:disc and drum brakesdisc and drum brakes create friction to slow the wheels of a motor vehicle. when a driver presses on the brake pedal of a vehicle, brake lines filled with fluid transmit the force to the brakes. in a disc brake, the fluid pushes the

30、brake pads in the caliper against the rotor, slowing the wheel. in a drum brake, the fluid pushes small pistons in the brake cylinder against the hinged brake shoes. the shoes pivot outward and press against a drum attached to the wheel to slow the wheel.19. linkagesvocabulary:linkage 5linkidv 联动装置a
