What is Foundation Bolt

 What is Foundation Bolt

1- Machines are generally subjected to vibration or forces. Due to this the machines are likely to shift or move from their positions. 

2- To overcome this, the machines are fixed to the ground with the help of devices called foundation bolts. 

3- These foundation bolts do not have a specific shape or head like hexagonal or square bolts.

4- The length of the shank is according to the thickness of nut and the thickness of machine base. 

5-  This odd shaped part holds the machine firmly to the ground.


Types of foundation bolt 


1- Eye foundation bolt .

2- Lewis foundation bolt .

3- Cotter foundation bolt.

4- Rag foundation bolt.


1- Eye foundation bolt 


1- Simple forms of these bolts can be quickly forged from mild-steel. The stationary engines and machines are fixed on these bolts. These bolts are suspended in the hole and cement grout is then poured to fill the space around them.

1- Eye foundation bolt


2- Lewis foundation bolt 


1- It is a rectangular shank bolt with one side taper. 

2- A gib head key is placed on the other side of taper and concrete is put around. 

3- The foundation bolt can be easily withdrawn by removing the gib head key first and then the bolt.


3- Cotter foundation bolt 

1- It has a rectangular slot through which a double headed cotter is placed. 

2- A cast iron washer rests above the cotter. 

3- Through a hand hole, connecting the cavity in the concrete the bolt is pulled down and lifting the cotter, the cotter is placed in position.

3- Cotter foundation bolt

 

4- Rag Foundation Bolt


1- This unique foundation bolt has a tapered body which comes with grooves on all sides of its body and a square or rectangular cross-section. 

2- Similar to the bent foundation bolt, it is mandatory to first allow the rag bolts to set in lead before allowing the whole assembly to set in concrete.

Mechanical Use of SCRAPER Tool- ITI Online Note

Image
What is Scraper Tool Use 1- It is a specific type of operation of removing convex spots from the machined surface and the tool used for removing complex spot is called scraper .  2- For obtaining a fine surface finish,  3- It is a very important hand. Operation employed.  4- Depending upon the specific work to be performed, scrapers vary in size and shape. 5- Scrapers are usually made out from warmouth or used old files that can't be used for further filing work.  6- For manufacturing scrapers , the files are heated to forging temperature and forged to the required shape.   7- Then further hardening and tempering operations are performed on files to get the desired hardness.  8- The cutting edge of the scraper is ground to sharpen it for removing the material.  9- The toolmaker's scraper is knurled at one end while the other end has the cutting edge. Types and uses of scraper  1- Flat scraper . 2- Hook scraper. 3- Half round scraper . 4- Circular scraper . Flat scraper 1-

What is Power Tool's? ITI Online Note

Image
 What is Power Tool's   1- A power tool is a tool actuated by power source and mechanism other than manual labor used with hand tools for fastening bolts and nuts .  Power wrench  1- A power wrench is type of wrench that is powered by other means than human force.   2- A typical power source is compressed air .   3- There are two main types of power wrenches :  i- Impact Wrenches and  ii- Air ratchet or pneumatic ratchet wrenches. Pneumatic torque wrench  1- A pneumatic torque wrench is a primary torque multiplier or a gear box that is mated to a pneumatic air motor. 2- At the end of the gear box is a reaction device that is used to absorb the torque and allows the tool operator to use it with very little effort .  2- The torque output is adjusted by controlling the air pressure .  3- These planetary torque multiplier gearboxes have multiplication ratios up to 125 : 1 and are primarily used anywhere accurate torque is required on a nut and bolt , or where a stubborn nut ne

Oxy acetylene GAS WELDING and Techniques - ITI Online Note

Image
Oxygen acetylene Gas Welding torch or blow pipe are used  1- Oxygen and acetylene gas pressure is reduced by gas regulator.  2- These gases are supplied through suitable hose to welding torch.  3- Gases are mixed in mixing chamber of welding torch and supplied to welding tip or nozzle.  4- The gas mixture is burnt to produce a flame to carryout welding operation.  5- There are two types of Gas welding torches,        • Low pressure or injector type        • High pressure or equal pressure type. 6- Low pressure torches are used with acetylene pressure obtained from acetylene generator at a pressure of 0.02 bar (less than 1 psi).  7- High pressure torches are used with acetylene stored in cylinder at a pressure of 8 bar. Low pressure or injector type torch  1- It is operated by low pressure acetylene at 0.02 bar.  2- As acetylene is at low pressure, it is necessary to use oxygen at high pressure (approximately 2.8 bar). 3- Oxygen enters into mixing chamber through passage locate
