Preface

A desire to motivate users in academics in general and those in mechanical engineering specifically
led to this book. Engineers are involved in systems design while drawing plays an important role in
designing and manufacturing of mechanical engineering components.
Several engineering institutes across the country have revised their curriculum in response to industry
feedback. This book summarizes the standards used in practical field along with step-wise elaboration
of problems that students encounter.
This book covers the syllabus of major varsities and institutes pan India. It comprises four important
elements of mechanical engineering drawing starting from basic to advanced levels. It also encopasses
the basics to understand and solve the assembly and disassembly problems.
Finally, a more pervasive goal is to expose students not only to understanding the mechanical
engineering drawing concepts but to also intellectually enrich their foundations.
It is hoped that this book will fill a gap in knowledge and understanding not only among those
concerned with mechanical engineering drawing but also those interested in it and wishing to dig a bit
deeper.
The first edition is based on feedback from industrial experts, teachers and students. Further
suggestions are solicited from one and all to enhance the utility of this book.

A Language of Engineers
1
1.1 INTRODUCTION
Generally, in first year of engineering studies, drawing is one of the first subjects taught to engineering
students. First question in individual’s mind rises “why this subject has been taught?”
The answer starts with a quote “Scientists discover the things those already exist but Engineers
create things.” Engineer is a professional who uses knowledge of mathematics and natural laws by study,
judgements, experience and experiments. That knowledge is applied with creativity, utilizing materials
economically, forces of nature and developing unique solutions to satisfy societal needs, since last few
years in eco-friendly way, for the benefit of humanity.
In the second year and above generally a machine drawing taught almost in all the Universities to
the Mechanical engineering students and again the question comes in mind that what is the necessity of
this subject to the Mechanical engineering students. The answer to this question is that without knowing
the mechanical engineering drawing one cannot understand the basics of mechanical engineering and
moreover to apply the innovative ideas and to design the mechanical components one has to understand
the basics of the mechanical engineering. This book will be helpful to understand the basics of the
mechanical engineering in the simplified way.
So where and how engineering drawing come in to picture for creating things? Answer comes with
wonder if we trace roots for uses of graphics in to history of human race!

1.2 Brief History of Drawing

Highlights
•• Oldest painting on cave is nearly 35,000 years old.
•• Charcoal and animal fat colors are used to create images on wall.
•• Indian, Egyptians and Mayans; around 5000 BC created decorated walls of tombs and temples
of Gods.
•• 830 BC drawings on pottery had been found form Greek and Chinese dynasty.
•• 500 BC in Greek period natural proportion of measurements also found in pictures.
•• Around 15th Century a Greek architecture used drawings and projection theories when
engineering graphics took a birth.

1
2 Machine Drawing

•• During World War-1 and World War-2 era; use of graphics was more concentrated to war
machines.
•• Invention of computer around 70 years ago gave a boost to use graphics technologies in
engineering.

1.2.1 What is Engineering Drawing?


It is considered as a language, as it gives ability to the person to convey thoughts in mind like other
languages offer to us except one thing, drawing uses pictures/images instead of words.

1.2.2 How long we have been using it?


In history, roots had been traced from engineering design sketches, complicated to understand, of
Leonardo-da-Vinci to the cave of ancient humans in form of paintings, as simple as child’s sketch, on
cave’s wall. We can think about lot of examples as few stated below:
•• Painted walls of churches and temples; telling stories of ancient times,
•• Sacred books with storytelling old paintings.
Sculptures engraved on stones can also be considered in this discussion as it conveys message with
principle of drawing. A record recognized by archaeological science around the world concluded that
drawing language is most ancient language found in human history.

1.2.3 What noteworthy about engineering is in discussion of human history?


Sometimes we have heard that some ‘xyz’ language was spoken few centuries ago but now it vanished
almost, it hasn’t been happened to drawing. Till now all drawing object discovered by archeologist,
convey same message as it conveyed few centuries ago. Although the use of drawing increases with new
technology; Television, Advertisements, Hoardings, Mobile phones, Smart phones, Laptops, Internet,
Video calling, Video games, Images, Movies, and many more are examples of use of drawing.

1.2.4 Why drawing intimately related to humans?


Yes, of course! The reasons are found in body of humans by medical science:
•• Our visual memory is the strongest memory recorded in human psychiatry
•• Pictures can directly have connected to our emotions, colours etc.
•• According to medical science, our brain has about 55% reserve of neurons and vast network for
processing visuals only.
•• Our brain is 60,000 times faster in processing visual than texts.
•• 90% of total bioelectric signals transmitted in our brain are for visual only.
•• Our 70% of sensory receptors are found in our eyes.
•• We can get an idea about visual sensation in just 1 millisecond.
We are good at processing, understanding, reacting and memorizing visuals, so that we can convey
message, idea, and emotions so easily and effectively in form of picture. A simple logical question is
enough to prove that your instinct shall reply. What we choose to get a perception about a ‘Jungle’, 1500
words essay or a colourful picture?
A Language of Engineers 3

1.3 Importance of Graphical Language in Engineering


Our education system works more on word language. One has to learn it first (to read, to write and
to speak). In word language, to describe an object for its shape and size, one has to use many words
(still lot of word if we avoid synonyms), sentences (in a proper arrangement to interpret its right
meaning) for its complete description. Large vocabulary is required to express complete description
for communication.
The problem is of higher order when communication is to be done between two persons with different
language. For such case, interpreter who knows both language is needed to translate. Still word language
is burdensome, if one tries to find a way to manage learning of word languages which are used worldwide,
to use them because languages are in more than hundreds in numbers.
In addition, with that more problem is faced when we are going to keep records for years, because
for describing one little butterfly sitting on flower needs more than 50 pages of writing, at a level for
engineering applicability, for full description. This discussion doesn’t mean that word languages are
useless, the conclusion is word languages are not suitable for engineering communication.
‘Drawing’ is a graphical language that can be used to express precisely the shape and size of an
object in compact format which is easy to transport and record. Advantages of graphical language over
word language are stated below:
1. It is independent of the country and can be understood universally in same manner.
2. It conveys lot of details (colour, size, shape, orientation, surface details, etc.) with right
interpretations.
3. Rapidness in communication with high degree of accuracy.
4. Compact to keep records as it occupies negligible space.
5. Retrieval and revision of details are fast and easy.
Probably this ability had been noticed by a genius engineering mind who applied graphics in
engineering communication.
Now come to the question, “where and how graphics comes in to picture for creating things?”
Engineering designs start as a visual in a mind of an engineer. Engineering graphics has evolved
to communicate and record these ideas on paper in two and three-dimensionally prepared images. Few
decades ago, these images are prepared manually called drawings. Thanks to the computer technology
which made it possible to automate the creation of engineering graphical objects. Finally, we can say,
Engineering drawing, is one level up to the Engineering Graphics, is a language of an engineer and every
engineering student has to learn it fundamentally.

1.4 MACHINE DRAWING


Machine drawing is the medium of communication used in the industries and mechanical research and
development sectors. It is necessary for the communication between the engineers and manufacturing
staff to understand the idea and implement it according to the drawing. It is necessary for the
Mechanical engineers to understand the Machine drawing so that they should be quite equipped
with the basic knowledge to understand and design the mechanical components in order to face the
industrial exposure.
4 Machine Drawing

1.4.1 Classification of Machine Drawing


Machine drawing is presented by the orthographic views or sometimes by isometric view or
perspective view, so that the size of the component and its shape can be fully understood. Following are
the some of the major classifications.

1.4.2 Production Drawing


A production drawing, also referred to as working drawing, which shows the details of all the
dimensions, its limits, fits and tolerances with some special finishing processes such as heat treatment,
honing, lapping, surface finish, etc., to guide the craftsman on the shop floor for the production of the
component. Production drawing also includes the material used for the product and the number of parts
required for the assembled unit.
Production drawing is generally made for each component on the separate sheet.

1.4.3 Part Drawing


It is a detailed drawing of a component to understand its manufacture the drawing details along
with the various manufacturing process. The rules of engineering drawing along with the standard codes
must be followed to understand the details in the part of the drawing. It is also known as the production
drawing or the working drawing.

1.4.4 Assembly Drawing


Assembly drawing shows the various parts of a machine in their correct working locations and there
are several types of such drawings.
•• Design Assembly Drawing: A layout is designed for the machine which shows the clear layout
including the performance, shape and the various parts of the machine.
•• Detailed Assembly Drawing: It is usually made for simple machines, comprising of a relatively
smaller number of simple parts. All the dimensions and information necessary for the construction
of such parts and for the assembly of the parts are given directly on the assembly drawing.
Separate views of specific parts in enlargements, showing the fitting of parts together, may also
be drawn in addition to the regular assembly drawing.
•• Sub-assembly Drawing: Many assemblies are assembled with many pre-assembled components
as well as individual parts. These pre-assembled units are known as sub-assemblies.
A sub-assembly drawing is an assembly drawing of a group of related parts, that form a part in a
more complicated machine. Examples of such drawings are: lathe tail-stock, diesel engine fuel pump,
carburettor, etc.
•• Installation Assembly Drawing: On this drawing, the location and dimensions of few important
parts and overall dimensions of the assembled unit are indicated. This drawing provides useful
information for assembling the machine, as this drawing reveals all parts of a machine in their
correct working position.
•• Assembly Drawings for Catalogues: Special assembly drawings are prepared for company
catalogues. These drawings show only the pertinent details and dimensions that would interest
the potential buyer.

Drawing Standard
2
Bureau of Indian Standards published ‘SP 46’ special publication module in year 1989 as a drawing
standard applicable in technical schools and engineering colleges, and revised in 2003; hence it is
mentioned as ‘BIS SP 46:2003’. This standardized document contains 20 different sections; covers all
guidelines to complete a drawing sheet as per standards, but in this chapter only few sections has been
discussed to learn fundamentals of technical drawing for beginners.

2.1 SIZES OF DRAWING SHEETS


The standards for sizes and layout of drawing sheets are included in section-1 of BIS SP 46:2003. These
standards are based on International Standards ‘IS 10711: 1983/1S0 5457:1980 and IS11665: 1985/1S0
7200: 1984’. It specifies sizes of blank and pre-printed drawing sheets for student and academic uses.

2.1.1 ISO-A series


Basic principles that define specific sizes of sheets are:
(i) x : y = 1 : 2
(ii) x * y = 1
Where x and y are the sides of sheet of which surface area is equal to 1 square meter. By this relation
the first sheet size has dimensions; x or y = 841 mm and y or x = 1189 mm. This standard is fixed by
ISO (International Standard Organization) for ISO-A series of trimmed size sheets as, adopted by BIS.
ISO-A series considered as basic format size of sheet and first preference to choose for drawing purpose.

2.1.2 Special Elongated Size


When a person needs sheets larger in size rather than basic standard sheet size, there is a provision
to used extended sized sheets, considered as second choice, called Special Elongated Sizes. These sizes
obtained by extending the shorter sides of a format of the ISO-A series to lengths that are multiples of
the shorter sides of the chosen basic format. For example, take ISO-A3 size sheet. Now shorter length
of A3 size is 297 mm, so longest side of special elongated size is equal to shorter length of ISO-A3
multiplied with 3 will give a size of 891 mm. Thus, Special elongated size will be 420 × 891 mm and
designation is ‘A3 × 3’.

Table 2.1 Special elongated size


Designation Size (in mm × mm)

A3 × 3 420 × 891

A3 × 4 420 × 1189

A4 × 3 297 × 630

A4 × 4 297 × 841

A4 × 5 297 × 1051

2.1.3 Exceptional Elongated Sizes


When a very large or extra-elongated size is required, a third choice selected, that is called Exceptional
Elongated Sizes. These sizes obtained by extending the shorter sides of a format of the ISO-A series to
lengths that are multiples of the shorter sides of the chosen basic format.
Table 2.2 Exceptional elongated sizes
Designation Size (in mm × mm)

A0 × 2* 1189 × 1682

A0 × 3 1189 × 2523**

A1 × 3 841 × 1783

A1 × 4 841 × 2378**

A2 × 3 594 × 1261

A2 × 4 594 × 1682

A2 × 5 594 × 2102

A3 × 5 420 × 1486

A3 × 6 420 × 1783

A3 × 7 420 × 2080

A4 × 6 297 × 1261

A4 × 7 297 × 1471

A4 × 8 297 × 1682

A4 × 9 297 × 1892

*this size is equal to 2 A0 of ISO-A series


**For practical reasons the use of it is not advisable.

The original drawing should be made on the smallest size sheet that permits the necessary clarity
and resolution. The choice of sizes of the original drawing and its reproduction shall be made from the
series shown in Tables 2.1 and 2.2.
Drawing Standard 7

2.2 LAYOUT OF DRAWING SHEETS


The features included usually in a typical technical drawing sheet are as shown in Fig. 2.1. It consists
of a title block, a border, a frame, different location and orientation marks, specific unit symbols, sheet
number and grid reference marks.

Fig. 2.1. Layout of drawing sheet

2.2.1 Title Block


It is a feature that contains information of identity of sheet (i.e., registration number, title, origin, etc.)
shown as a rectangular block. The position of the title block should be within the drawing space such that
the portion of the title block containing the identification of the drawing is positioned in the bottom right-
hand corner of the drawing space; both for sheets located horizontally. The direction of the viewing of the
title block should correspond, in general, with that of the drawing. Title block should preferably consist of
one or more adjoining rectangles. These may be sub-divided to include different information like scale,
prepared by, verified by, checked by, approved by, units, symbols, name of organization, drawing sheet
number, title of drawing, etc. separately. According to BIS; maximum length of title block is 170 mm
and width is 65 mm used for schools and colleges. Typical title block for student use is shown in Fig. 2.1.

2.2.2 Margin, Borders and Frames


To protect the drawing on outside edge of sheet and also offer a space for binding and punching, an
extra space called a margin of 20 mm (Max.) is provided for all sheet size on untrimmed size of sheet.
Size of sheet after providing a margin is called trimmed size of sheet. Borders enclosed by the edges
of the trimmed sheet and the frame limiting the drawing space shall be provided with all sizes. It is
recommended that these borders have the minimum width of 20 mm for sizes A0 and Al, and a minimum
width of 10 mm for size A2, A3 and A4.

2.2.3 Centering Marks


Four centering marks, usually extended lines towards the drawing area from border, shall be provided on
all drawings to facilitate the positioning of the drawing sheet when reproduced or microfilmed.

2.2.4 Orientation Marks


Two orientation marks may be provided to indicate the orientation of the drawing sheet on the drawing
board. These marks consist of arrows and should be placed across the frame, one at a shorter side and
one at a longer side, coinciding with the centering marks on those sides, so that one of the orientation
marks always points to the draftsman.

2.3 FOLDING OF DRAWING SHEETS


In BIS SP 46:2003, section 4 is for specifying how to fold drawing sheets or printed drawing sheets. It is
based on ‘IS 11664:1986’. This section covers two methods of folding of drawing prints. The first method
is intended for drawing prints to be filed or bound, while the second method is intended for prints to be
kept individually in filing cabinet.

2.3.1 Basic Principles


The basic principles in each of the above methods are to ensure that:
(a) All large prints of sizes higher than A4 are folded to A4 sizes;
(b) Title blocks of all the folded prints appear in topmost position; and
(c) Bottom right corner shall be outermost visible section and shall have a width not less than
190 mm.
Depending on the method of folding adopted, suitable folding marks are to be introduced in the
tracing sheets as guide. Refer Fig. 2.2 for folding marks specification applied to drawing sheets to be filed
or bound and Fig. 2.3 for specification of folding marks applied to sheets which kept in filling cabinet.

establishes types of lines, their designations and configurations and general rules for drafting of lines
used in: (a) Technical drawings, (b) CAD systems, (c) Reference of components, (d) Construction
documentation and (e) Mechanical engineering drawings.

2.4.1 Definition of Line


It is a geometrical entity, the length of which is more than half of its width, which connects two dots
in any way. It may be straight, curved, without or with interruption. Line element is a single part of a
non-continuous line like dots, dashes, which may vary in length with certain gaps between them. Line
Segment is a group of two or more different line elements, which repeats and forms a non-continuous line.

2.4.2 Classification of Lines


Lines can be classified in two ways, (i) According to geometrical feature of line and (ii) According
to application of line.

2.4.3 According to Geometrical Feature


The basic types of lines introduced by BIS or IS are as shown in Fig. 2.4.

2.4.4 According to Application of Line


The lines have description of line according to its geometric features but according to its application
at different places in drawing. Lines having different geometric feature as well dimension are used at
particular place and it has specific meaning.

2.4.5 Visible Outline


Visible outline are generally drawn wide and continuous, used to represents the outline or overall
shape of an object that’s why it is also called object outline. Every boundary or surface of an object,
which is visible, is represented by visible outlines.

2.4.6 Construction Lines


These are thin or narrow continuous lines used for projecting or transferring locations from one view
to other. Usually it is used for constructing a drawing with pencils only and erased in finished drawing,
except in geometrical drawings.
Drawing Standard 11

2.4.7 Hidden Lines


The geometrical features which cannot be seen with respect to view point or if the geometrical feature
is inside somewhere in the object and cannot be seen directly, are considered as hidden and be drawn
with dashed lines. Dashed lines are mainly used to highlight hidden features so it is named as hidden
lines. It is not necessary to include all hidden detail in views in a drawing; only essential feature’s detail
need be included to show quite clearly the exact shape of the object. Hidden lines may be omitted, when
not required, to preserve the clarity of the drawing like in sectional views.

2.4.8 Center Lines


These lines are represented by long and short dashes. The center lines are used to center the
symmetrical views of circular parts, to indicate center points, axes of symmetrical parts, axes of symmetry,
pitch circle of gears and also for giving the location dimensions. These lines are first to be drawn in any
drawing after carefully spacing the various views to be draw.

2.4.9 Dimension Lines


These lines are continuous narrow lines, be drawn parallel to the visible object outlines or any
distance mentioned on the drawing to specify its measurement after applying appropriate scale if scale
has been chosen to draw a feature. The numerals are place around the dimension lines to represent value
of measurement.

2.4.10 Extension Lines


These lines are continuous narrow line in form of long dash or short dash and majorly used in
combination with dimension lines. It limits dimension line and shows the end of measurement represented
by dimension lines in drawing. These lines are drawn perpendicular to dimension lines.

2.4.11 Leader Line


These lines are used to connect description to the drawing. It is narrow or thin line with aero head
at the end. Arrowhead is linked with geometry or drawing and other end is kept horizontal on which
description is written.

2.4.12 Reference Line


These lines are used to provide reference of feature to the characteristics which cannot be shown as
graphics or it is not convenient to show them as graphics or image. Such as strength, surface roughness,
density, mass, weight, chemical composition, etc. are shown as reference with help of reference digits
and lines. Reference lines are generally very thin and at end of it a circle inscribing a digit is placed. That
digit is referred to the values or characteristics shown in a table within drawing. This entire reference is
called item reference.

2.4.13 Cutting Plane Lines


These lines are made up of alternately a long dash and a short dash in the ratio of about 6 : 1 to 4 : 1
and are drawn as center lines but are extra thick ends and having arrows touching them. These are used
to show the edge of the cutting plane when an object is being sectioned to show the hidden details. The
arrows, attached to the ends of such lines indicate direction in which the section is to be seen.
12 Machine Drawing

2.4.14 Break Lines


Short breaks and irregular boundary lines: these are thin lines drawn free hand and are used to show a
break of an object which extends over a short length of the drawing or to indicate the irregular boundary
of an object. These will result in a saving in space and time used for drawing without loss of details.
Long breaks: these are thin ruled lines having free hand zigzags at suitable intervals and are used
when the break extends over a considerable length of drawing

2.4.15 Long Chain Lines


Composed of alternate long and short dashes are used to indicate surface which are to receive
additional treatment.

2.4.16 Line Dimensions, Line Groups and Line Configuration


Line dimension includes width of line and dimension of various line elements and segments. Line
width should be uniform though out the length of the line (deviation of width is allowed up to ± 0.1 d).
According to width there are three groups (as shown in Table 2.1) of lines established by BIS; Narrow
lines, wide lines and extra wide lines in a ratio of 1:2:4 respectively. Suppose if width of all type of line
is d, the width of lines depending up on size and type of drawing can be written in following series (This
series is based on a ratio 1: 2 i.e. 1:1.4):
0.13 mm; 0.18 mm; 0.25 mm; 0.35 mm; 0.50 mm; 0.7 mm; 1.0 mm; 1.4 mm; 2.0 mm
Table 2.3 Line groups
Line group Narrow Line Wide line Extra wide line
0.25 0.13 0.25 0.50
0.35 0.18 0.35 0.70
0.50 0.25 0.50 1.00
0.70 0.35 0.70 1.40
1.00 0.50 1.00 2.00
All dimensions are in mm

While drafting a line some precautions should be taken like two parallel lines having offset between
them at least 0.7 mm unless this rule is contrary with other rules stated by Indian Standards. In place of
junction of two non-continuous lines’ intersection should preferably meet at a dash rather than gap or
dot. Configuration of line elements are listed in Table 2.4.

2.5 TECHNICAL LETTERING


In Section 7, of BIS SP 46:2006 specification and standards are mentioned for technical lettering on
drawing sheet. This was established based on international standard ‘IS 9609 (Part O):2001/ISO 3098-
0: 1997’. No doubt graphical language is sufficient for conveying message or information, though as
engineering gives always weight on ease with efficiency. Hence, a graphical object comes with some texts
like notes, legends, schedules, material lists and dimensions gives speed to a person in comprehension
of drawing. Technical lettering also subjected to specific size and shape. In this section of book, basic
conventions and rules are included for lettering using techniques only for beginners like free hand lettering
(with and without using gridlines) and lettering with templates. Lettering includes not only alphabets but
also numerals, punctuation marks, diacritical marks, etc. called as Graphical Character Sets.

2.5.1 Classification of Lettering


According to nature of stroke
(a) Single stroke letters: letters drawn with single stroke of writing,
(b) Double stroke letters: letters drawn with double strokes of writing
According to orientation of letter
(a) Vertical letters: letters are drawn such that stems of letters are perfectly vertical.
(b) Inclined (Sloped) letters: letters are drawn such that stems of letters are inclined at certain angle
with vertical axis.
According to case
(a) Upper case letters: letters are drawn in capital form only
(b) Lower case letters: letters are drawn in small form only
(c) Combination of both cases: first letter is capital and then after rest of the letters of word are in
small form.
According to BIS
(a) Type A, Vertical, (V) (b) Type A, Sloped, (S)
(c) Type B, Vertical, (V) (d) Type B, Sloped, (S)
(e) Type CA, Vertical, (V) (f) Type CA, Sloped, (S)
(g) Type CB, Vertical, (V) (h) Type CB, Sloped, (S)
Type A and B both vertical and sloped are practiced by hand sketching, while type CA and CB are
used in computer aided drafting. These categories are based on dimension of letters and its application
in technical drawing.
2.5.2 Dimensions
Size of lettering is based on the height ‘h’ of upper case letters. Dimensions are shown in Fig. 2.5;
‘h’ is called nominal size. For lower case letters, both ascenders and decenders stems are of same size.
Capital or upper case letters shall maintain height vs. width, i.e. h:w; ratio equal to 7:5 means height
should be of 7 units while width should have 5 units. For lower case letters shall maintain h:w is equal
to 5:4. Range of nominal standardized size for height of letters is specified in BIS as follow:
1.8 mm; 2.5 mm; 3 mm; 5 mm; 7 mm; 10 mm; 14 mm; 20 mm
In above range the multiples of 2 are derived from standardized progression of dimension of
chosen sheet paper size.

2.5.3 Guidelines for Lettering


General guidelines
•• Letters should be such that they are readable and can be made quickly.
•• Patterned, flourish or decorative letters should not be used.
•• Single stroke letters should be first choice as rapidness and legibility obtained is high.
•• Thickness of letter’s line should be uniform though out.
•• Upper case and lower case letters are used in appropriate place. Usually capital letters are used;
in exception small letters are used where specified by standards.
•• Draw vertical and sloped guide lines along direction of writing at random to provide reference
for writing letters so that uniformity in size and appearance of letters maintained.
•• Draw letters first with light and thin strokes of pencils so that in case of mistake lines can be erased.
•• Maintain same distance between consecutive words to provide appearance of uniform space.
•• Type B letters are generally broad, solid and darker than Type A letters.

2.6 ENGINEERING SCALE


In section 5 of BIS SP 46:2003 technical scales are specified for engineering application, it is based on
‘IS 10713: 1983/ISO 5455: 1979’. If we look at the essentiality of scale; we can conclude that without
introducing a scale, drawing has no use for engineering purpose. It is a ‘scale’ that relates the drawing
with original object. It gives an idea of comparison to a person to percept actual picture of particular
thing. This section specifies recommended scales and their designation for use on all technical drawings
in any field of engineering. Drawing, an idea that is manifested on a piece of paper with exact and specific
dimensions, is a vital part of a creation process in engineering. This process of manifestation has one
hurdle, as we know any real life object is either bigger or smaller than a piece of paper on which drawing
is being commenced. If we draw a technical drawing with such measurement either a drawing area seems
too limited or a drawing does not take any legible form. To overcome this problem a key rule is applied
is called a ‘SCALE’. Scale can be understood as a factor or ratio if we apply to actual measurement of
an object; we get a dimension of object of concern in reasonable drawing range. Scale is defined as, “A
ratio of dimension of a feature of an object within a drawing to the measurement of a feature of an object
in real”. The ratio is called representative fraction or representative factor of a scale.

2.6.1 Representative Fraction


It is the ratio of the length of the drawing to the actual length of the object. It is abbreviated as R.F.
mathematically it can be written as:
Size of an element in the drawing
RF =
Size of same element in actual

Length in the drawing


Or RF =
Actual length
16 Machine Drawing

Area in the drawing


Or RF =
Actual Area

Volume as per drawing


Or RF = s
Actual volume

2.6.2 Scales for Technical Drawings


In exceptional cases where for functional reasons the recommended scales cannot be applied,
intermediate scales may be chosen. The scale to be chosen for a drawing will depend upon the complexity
of the object to be depicted and the purpose of the representation. In all cases, the selected scale shall be
large enough to permit easy and clear interpretation of the information depicted. Details that is too small
for complete dimensioning in the main representation shall be shown adjacent to the main representation in
a separate detail view (or section) which is drawn to a large scale. It is recommended that, for information
a full size view be added to the large-scale representation of a small object. In this case, the full size view
may be simplified by showing the outlines of the object only.
Table 2.6 Scales for technical drawing

Category of scale Recommended value

Enlargement scale 50:1, 5:1 20:1, 2:1 10:1


Full scale N.A. N.A. 1:1
Reduction scale 1:2, 1:20, 1:5, 1:50, 1:10, 1:100,
1:200, 1:500, 1:1000, 1:10000,
1:2000 1:5000 1:100000

2.7 DIMENSIONING
Technical drawing conveys details about object or product in terms of shape and size, idea of shape can be
represented by drawing but details related to size found very convenient via mentioning digits according
to applied unit. The process of describing size of the object of concern is called process of dimensioning.
Dimensioning can be defined in several ways like,
•• “It is a means of defining the exact amount of material remaining after a series of manufacturing
operations have taken place over unfinished or raw material.”
•• “It is a process of representation of quantified measurement of feature in respective drawing in
terms of digits.”
•• “It is a way of describing size and location of item in expressions of relative or absolute quantity
of length in drawing using measuring units with numerical.”
•• “A numerical value expressed in appropriate units of measurement and indicated graphically on
technical drawings with lines, symbols and notes.”
In section 12 of BIS SP 46:2003, “General Principles of Dimensioning on Technical Drawing” are
specified for engineering application, it is based on ‘IS11669: 1986/ISO 129: 1985’.
Drawing Standard 17

2.7.1 Dimensions
Dimensions are classified according to the following types:
(a) Functional dimension: A dimension that is essential to the function of the piece or space.
(b) Non-functional dimension: A dimension that is not essential to the function of the piece or space.
(c) Auxiliary dimension: A dimension given for information purposes only. It does not govern
production or inspection operations and is derived from other values shown on the drawing or
in related documents. An auxiliary dimension is given in parenthesis and no tolerance applies to
it.

In National Standards, dimensioning represented in various sections depends upon the application
of represented view. Dimensions, an outcome of dimensioning process, have several elements by which
we can represent values of measurement in specific way.

2.7.2 Elements of Dimension


The elements of dimensioning include the projection line, dimension line, leader line, dimension
line termination, the origin indication, and the dimension itself. Please refer Fig. 2.7.

Dimension line
The line, length of which shows measurement of feature, which is thin continuous and parallel to
feature to be dimensioned.
18 Machine Drawing

Extension line
The lines, perpendicular to feature to be dimensioned and dimension line, are thin continuous lines
but shorter in length compared to dimension line.
Termination and origin indicator
Arrow heads are used to terminate dimension lines, whenever arrow head touches extension line
dimension line is considered as limited or constrained up to that extension line. Arrow head has length
three times than the width of arrow along dimension line. Thickness of arrow head also depends up on
type and thickness of line.
Origin indicator is used where all dimension lines are shown to be originated from one single point
or datum.
Feature Indicator
The following indications are used with dimensions to show applicable shape identification and to
improve drawing interpretation. The diameter and square symbols may be omitted where the shape is
clearly indicated. The applicable indication (symbol) shall precede the value for dimension (These are
used to represent specific features like circle diameter or radius, arc length, radius or diameter of sphere,
etc. with dimension digits on a dimension line. Please refer Table 2.7.

Orthographic Projection
3
3.1 INTRODUCTION
When the projectors are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the reference plane then the projection
is known as Orthographic Projection. For any object, there are three dimensions to be considered i.e.
length, width and height and these dimensions to be converted in the two with the help of the methods
of orthographic projection depending upon the viewing of the object. Orthographic projection is to be
followed by the four angle of projection. These angles are first, second, third and four. Depending on
the imaginary placement of the object, angle method is adopted. As per the Bureau of Indian Standard
(SP-46:1988), It is recommended to follow the first angle of method.
Orthographic Projections are very effective in technical representation of the object. Orthographic
projections are further subdivided into axonometric projection and multi-view projections.

3.1.1 Axonometric Projection


It is a sub type of orthographic projection which is used for creating a pictorial drawing of an object,
where the lines of sight are perpendicular to the plane of projection and the object is rotated around one
or more of its axes to reveal multiple sides.

Development of Surfaces

4.1 INTRODUCTION
Development of surfaces represents the actual shape of all the surfaces which are folded at the edges
would form the solid. Every line of the development must be the true length of the corresponding edges
of the surfaces. Hence, the development of solid represents the actual shape of its surfaces which, when
folded at the edges would form the solid. It has an application mostly in the fabrication industries and
sheet metal work. For the purpose of design in the manufacturing of product, furniture, models and other
creative work, development of surface plays a major role to understand the basics of the product.

4.2 APPLICATION
It is majorly applied in the fabrication industries and sheet metal works. The major industries use the
development of surfaces in the manufacturing for chimneys, containers, cupboard, lamp shades, boiler
construction, electrical panels, funnels, pipe work, metal furniture, car and ship body manufacturing,
model making etc.

4.3 METHODS OF DEVELOPMENT


Mainly there are two methods of development of surfaces adopted.

4.3.1 Parallel Line Method


It is mainly used for the development of prism and cylinder. The two base lines of the solid are
parallel to each other in the development, hence the method named as parallel line method. Figure 4.1
shows the development of a square prism which can be easily understand by a four rectangle of equal
base and height. Similarly, the Fig. 4.2 shows the development of cylinder with diameter D and height
H, development of a cylinder is a rectangle with height (H) and length equal to the circumference of the
cylinder.

Fig. 4.4. Development of prism

To understand the development of a prism in a simple way, Figs. 4.3 and 4.4 shows the development
of prism in three dimension and its representation in two dimensions.

4.3.2 Radial Line Method


The radial line method is used to draw the development of pyramid and cone. The development of
a square pyramid is as shown in Fig. 4.5 where four triangles represents the development of a square
pyramid whose height is equal to the true length and base edge of pyramid is equal to the base of the
triangle. The true length can be obtained by the slant edge of the pyramid which will be parallel to the
reference plane in either H.P. or V.P.
38 Machine Drawing

The development of cone as shown in Fig. 4.6 where the height is equal to the generator parallel
to either reference plane and angle (q) subtended by an arc at the centre is calculated as radius of base
circle by slant height and whole is multiply by 360°.

4.4 PROBLEMS
4.4.1 Prism
The prisms are made by the regular polygons of n sides at their two ends and the number of surfaces
are n connecting to these polygons. When the prism surfaces are unfolded in a single plane, we get n
numbers of rectangles having sides of bases as one side and length of the vertical edge or height of the
prism as another side. Moreover, we get two polygons of n sides for two bases.

5.1 INTRODUCTION
When two solids of same or different dimensions and cross section come in contact to each other and
their surfaces are in contact with each other known as the intersection of surfaces. The line of intersection
will be the line form by the intersection of surfaces. Depending upon the nature of intersecting surfaces
the line may be straight or curved.
When two solids penetrate each other, there will be two lines formed one will be visible lines as to
be viewed from front view and another will be a dotted line viewed from the rear view.

5.2 METHODS OF DETERMINING LINES OF INTERSECTION


Generally, two methods are used for the determination of lines of intersection:
1. Line Method
2. Cutting Plane method

Intersection of Solids 107

Lines are drawn on the lateral surface of one of the solid and these lines are drawn with the surface of
one of the solid. The lines are drawn in the correct sequence through the points of contact. This method
of intersection is known as line method.
In cutting plane method, two solids assumed to be cut by number of planes in the region of intersection.
Selected cutting plane cuts the surface of solids in straight line and circles depending upon the type of
solid. Usually, the cutting plane is taken perpendicular to the vertical plane.

5.3 INTERSECTION OF TWO PRISMS


The intersection of two prism problems can be solved by locating the points on the face edges and joining
these points in the form of line to get the closed figure.
Problem 1: A vertical square prism of base side 50 mm and axis 60 mm long with faces equally
inclined to VP and axis perpendicular to HP and parallel to VP is completely penetrated by another
square prism of base side 30 mm side with the axis parallel to HP and VP and bisect the axis of horizontal
prism at right angle. The faces of the horizontal prism are equally inclined to VP. Draw the projection
of solid showing the lines of intersection. The length of horizontal prism is 80 mm.
Solution:
1. Draw a square of 50 mm side with two sides equally inclined to VP below XY which shows the
top view of a vertical square prism.

2. Name the corners as p, q, r, s for top base and p1, q1, r1 and s1 for bottom base.
3. Project the top view in the front so that bottom base will be on XY and axis equals to 60 mm and
name the corners.
4. Draw the side view just side of front view and mark the points as shown in Fig. 5.2.
5. Draw a horizontal square prism, starting from the side view as a square of two side equally inclined
to HP and centre of square will bisect the axis of vertical prism. (you can draw a square of equally
inclined side outside the problem and can be projected on side view.)
6. Name the square as a, b, c, d for left hand base and a1, b1, c1 and d1 for right hand base.
7. Project the horizontal square on the top view of vertical prism and measure the axis length. The
dotted lines show the hidden edges of horizontal prism.
8. Mark the intersection points of horizontal and vertical points and project these points on front
view.
9. Draw the projection of horizontal square prism from side view to front view.
10. Draw the projection of top view points to front view.
11. Mark the intersection of top view points and side view points in front view which locate the points
in front view.
12. Join the lines in front view as per the sequence of points from side view of horizontal square prism
which will be the required line of intersection.
Problem 2: A vertical square prism of base side 50 mm has its faces equally inclined to VP. It is
completely penetrated by another square prism of base side 30 mm side with the axis parallel to HP and
VP and 6 mm away from the axis of vertical prism. The faces of the horizontal prism are also equally
inclined to VP. Draw the projection of solid showing the lines of intersection. Assume suitable length of axis.
Solution:
1. Let’s assume the length of axis of both the prism as 100 mm.
2. Starting with top view, draw three views of vertical prism and mark it p-p, q-q, r-r and s-s.
3. Starting with side view, draw three views of horizontal prism such that its axis is 6 mm away from
the axis of vertical prism as shown in Fig 5.3. Let the face edge corners be a-a, b-b, c-c and d-d.
4. From the side view, it can be seen that all four edges of the horizontal prism are intersecting the
vertical prism and the edges p-p and r-r of vertical prism intersects the faces of horizontal prism
at two points. Hence, six points are located as shown in the Fig 5.3.
5. Locate all six points in TV with two sets of points.
6. Transfer all the points in front view by projection and join in sequence by straight line to get line
of intersection.
7. The visible lines of intersection are made dark while the hidden lines are made dotted. To decide
the dark and dotted line, the position of observer in top and side view which is nearer to the
observer will be dark and rest will be dotted lines.

Fig. 5.3. Solution to Problem 2

8. The portion of horizontal prism inside the vertical prism can be obtained from the top view. i.e.,
edge 3-3, 1-1, 5-5 and 6-6 will not be visible.
9. The portion 2-4 of long edge p-p and r-r of vertical prism do not exist, hence drawn faint.
Problem 3: A vertical square prism of base side 50 mm and height 100 mm has a face inclined at
30° VP. It is completely penetrated by another square prism of base side 35 mm side and axis 100 mm
long, faces of which are equally inclined to the VP. The axis of two prisms are parallel to VP and bisect
each other at right angle. Draw the projection showing the line of intersection.
Solution:
1. Starting with top view, draw three views of vertical prism such that one face qr is inclined at 30°
to VP and mark it p-p, q-q, r-r and s-s.
2. Starting with side view, draw three views of horizontal prism such that its axis is bisecting each
other. Let the face edge corners be a-a, b-b, c-c and d-d.
110 Machine Drawing

3. From the side view, it can be seen that all four edges of the horizontal prism are intersecting the
vertical prism and the edges p-p and r-r of vertical prism intersects the faces of horizontal prism
at two points. Mark all these eight points 1, 2, 3, ......... 8 in side view as shown in Fig. 5.4.

Fig. 5.4. Solution to Problem 3

4. Locate all six points in TV and care should be taken as the point 2 and 4 are on edge p-p only and
points 6 and 8 are on r-r only. We get two sets of six points in top view 1-2-3-4-5-7 on left hand
side and 1-3-5-6-7-8 on right hand side.
5. Transfer all the points in front view by projection and again care should be taken that points 2′ and
4′ will come on edge p′-p′ and 6′ and 8′ will be come on edge r′-r′. Join all the points in sequence
by straight line to get line of intersection in left hand side will be 1′-2′-3′-4′-5′-7′-1′ and that on
right hand side will be 1′-3′-5′-6′-7′-8′-1′.
6. Since the faces of vertical prism are not equally inclined to VP, the dotted and dark lines of
intersection on left hand side and right hand side will be different. Lines 1′-7′ and 7′-5′ on left
hand side and 6′-7′ and 7′-8′ of right hand side are dark.
Problem 4: A vertical square prism of base side 50 mm and height 100 mm has a face equally
inclined to VP. It is completely penetrated by another square prism of base side 35 mm side and axis 100
mm long, faces of which are equally inclined to the VP. The axis of two prisms are parallel to VP and 20
mm apart. Draw the projection showing the line of intersection.

Intersection of Solids 147

Solution:
1. A rod of 60 mm diameter is connected to a rectangular block of 60 × 160 mm. As the rod connected
to block, its diameter goes on increasing and reaches to the maximum of 140 mm (60 mm diameter
of rod + two times turned radius i.e. 40 mm). But the rod cannot be increased on the back side
due to the width of block is only 60 mm in this direction, and hence the curve of intersection will
appear.
2. Mark the points 1 to 5 in between the radius meet the block. The starting point will be 1 and
ending point will be 5 as shown in Fig. 5.49.
3. Let the turned radius points in front view will be 1′, 2′, ........., 5′.
4. Project all these points in top view on the centre line of block to get other sets of the points.
5. By taking the centre of rod as m and radius m-1, m-2, m-3 which cuts the arc meeting the block
at points p1, p2, …......, p5.
6. There will be two sets of the points.
7. Transfer the points p1, p2, ........., p4 in front view on respective projection to get p1′, p2′, p3″,
and p4′.
8. Join all these points in front view to get the required curve of intersection.

Representation of Tolerance
on Machine Components

7.1 INTRODUCTION
The Limits, Fits and Tolerances are the very important for designing and manufacturing. As we know
accuracy does not exist anywhere, the only thing we can do is to try to approach the true value as close as
possible. So, to provide a little flexibility to a manufacturer the designer makes use of tolerances and fits,
which in turn determine the kind of assembly produced. Every production process involves a combination
of 3 elements, i.e., man, material and machine. It is not possible to make any part precisely to a given
dimension. Even if by chance the part is made exact it is possible to measure it accurately enough to
prove it. If attempts are made to achieve perfect size the cost of production will increase tremendously.
Therefore, some permissible variation has to be allowed.

7.2 LIMITS, FITS and TOLERANCE

Limits:
The dimension of a manufactured part can only be made to lie between maximum and minimum limits.

Fits:
It is the degree of tightness or looseness between two mating parts.

Tolerance:
The permissible variation in size or dimension is tolerance. The difference between the upper limit
and lower limit of a dimension represents the margin for variation and is called as tolerance zone. Also it
is the amount by which the amount is allowed to go away from accuracy without causing any functional
trouble when assembled. Tolerance can be unilateral i.e. Dimension of a part is allowed to vary only on
one side of the basic size and Bilateral the dimension of a part is allowed to vary on both the sides of
basic size.
The following terms and definitions are important:

7.2.1. Shaft
The term shaft refers not only to the diameter of a circular shaft but to any external dimension on a
component. The definition of shaft is shown in Fig. 7.1.

7.2.2. Hole
The term hole refers not only to the diameter

of a circular hole but to any internal dimension of a
component. The definition of hole is shown in Fig. 7.2.

7.2.3. Size
The term size refers to the numerical value of a 25 mm H8
linear dimension in a particular unit.
Fig. 7.2. Definition of hole
7.2.4. Nominal Size
The term nominal size refers to the size of a part specified in the drawing for convenience to shop floor.

7.2.5. Basic Size


The term basic size refers to the size from which the limits of size are derived by the application of
tolerance (i.e. upper and lower deviation). The basic size or nominal size of a part is often the same and
it is termed as zero line.

7.2.6. Actual Size


The term actual size referred to the actual measured dimension of a part. The difference between the
basic size and the actual size should not exceed a certain limit, if so; it will disturb the interchangeability
of assembly parts.

7.2.7. Limits of Size


The term limits of size referred to the two extreme permissible sizes for a dimension of a part,
between which the actual size should lie. The largest permissible size for a dimension is called upper or
high or maximum limit, whereas the smallest size is called lower or minimum limit. The limits of sizes
are as shown in Fig. 7.4.

7.2.8. Maximum Limit of Size


The term maximum limit of size referred to the maximum or greatest permissible size of a feature.

7.2.9. Minimum Limit of Size


The term minimum limit of size referred to the minimum or smallest permissible size of a feature.
Representation of Tolerance on Machine Components 161

7.2.10. Allowance
The term allowance refers to the difference between the basic dimensions of mating parts. The
allowance may be positive or negative. In positive allowance the shaft size is less than the hole size, and
in negative allowance the shaft size is greater than the hole size.
Allowance tells the type of fit. Positive allowance provides clearance fit while negative allowance
provides interference fit. Sometimes it is also referred as clearance.

7.2.11. Tolerance
The term tolerance refers to the difference between the upper (maximum) limit and lower (minimum)
limit of a dimension. In other words, tolerance is the maximum permissible variation in a dimension.
The tolerance may be of two types i.e. unilateral or bilateral.
When the tolerance is allowed on one side of the nominal size, e.g., 30+− 00..003
000
, then it is said to be
unilateral system of tolerance. ‘When the tolerance is allowed on both sides of the nominal size, e.g.,
30+− 00..003
003
then it is said to be bilateral system of tolerance.
The unilateral system is widely used in practice as it permits changing the tolerance value while still
retaining the same allowance or type of fit. The two methods of providing tolerance are shown in Fig. 7.5.

7.2.13. Zone Line


The term zero line refers to the straight line corresponding to the basic size, to which deviations and
tolerances are referred. According to convention, the positive and negative deviations are shown above
and below the zero line respectively.

7.2.14. Deviation
The term deviation referred to the algebraic difference between a size (actual size limits of size, etc.)
and the corresponding basic size.

7.2.15. Upper-Deviation
The term upper deviation refers to the algebraic difference between the maximum limit and the basic
size. The upper deviation of a hole is demoted by a symbol ‘ES’ and of a shaft is denoted by a symbioses’.

7.2.16. Lower Deviation


The term lower deviation refers to the algebraic difference between the minimum limit and basic size.
The lower deviation of a hole is denoted by a symbol ‘EI’ and of a shaft it is denoted by a symbol ‘ei’.

7.2.17. Actual Deviation


The term actual deviation refers to the algebraic difference between an actual size and the
corresponding basic size.

7.2.18. Mean Deviation


The term mean deviation refers to the arithmetical mean between the upper and lower deviations.

7.2.19. Fundamental Deviation


The term fundamental deviation refers to the deviation, either the upper or the lower deviation, which
is nearest one to the zero line for either a hole or a shaft. Fundamental deviation provides the position of
the tolerance zone with respect to the zero line.
Representation of Tolerance on Machine Components 163

7.2.20. Fits
The term fits refer to the degree of tightness or looseness between two mating parts. Depending upon
the actual limits of the hole and shaft. There are three types of fits.
1. Clearance Fit:​It is obtained when shaft is always smaller than hole. Clearance must be positive.
The clearance fit may be of different types, e.g., slide fit, easy sliding fit, running fit, slack
running fit and loose running fit, etc.
2. Interference Fit: The minimum permissible diameter of the shaft is always greater than the
maximum allowable diameter of hole. Elastic strains are developed on the mating surfaces
during the process of assembly and prevent relative measurement of the mating part. Interference
is negative clearance. The interference fit may be of different types, e.g., shrink fit, light drive
fit, heavy drive fit. Example of this type of fit are bearing bushes which are in an interference
fit in their housing of a small end of the connecting rod of an engine.
3. Transition Fit:​It lies mid-way between clearance and interference fit. The transition fit may
be of different types, e.g. push fit, force fit, tight fit etc.
The types of fits are as shown in Fig. 7.8.

size of shaft as shown in Fig. 7.9.

164 Machine Drawing

It may be noted that, from manufacturing point of view, a hole basis system is always preferred.
Because holes are produced by standard size of drills and reamers, whose size cannot be adjusted
easily on the other hand, the size of the shaft which is to go into hole, can be easily adjusted by
turning and grinding.

7.2.22. Shaft Basic System

7.2.23. Maximum Metal Limit (MML) and Least or Minimum Metal Limit (LML) for a Shaft
The shaft shown in Fig. 7.11 has an upper and lower limit of 40.05 mm and 39.95 mm respectively.
The shaft is said to have a maximum metal limit (MML) of 40.05 mm because at this limit the shaft has
the maximum possible amount of metal.
The limit of 39.95 mm is called the minimum or least metal limit (LML) because at this limit the
shaft has minimum or least possible amount of metal.

The hole shown in Fig. 7.12 has an upper and lower limit of 20.05 mm and 19.95 mm respectively.
When the hole is at its upper limit the minimum amount of metal is left.
The limit of 20.05 mm is therefore called the least or minimum metal limit (LML). When the hole
is at its lower limit the maximum amount of metal is left and hence the limit of 19.95 mm is called the
maximum metal limit (MML).

7.2.25. Grades of Tolerance


It is an indication of the level of accuracy.
There are 18 grades of tolerances –
IT01, IT0, IT1 to IT16 IT01 to IT4 – For production of gauges, plug gauges, measuring instruments.
IT5 to IT 7 – For fits in precision engineering applications.
IT8 to IT11 – For General Engineering.
IT12 to IT14 – For Sheet metal working or press working.
IT15 to IT16 – For processes like casting, general cutting work.

7.2.26. Standard Tolerance


Various grades of tolerances are defined using the ‘standard tolerance unit’, (i) in µ m, which is a
function of basic size.
i = 0.45 3√D + 0.001D
where, D (mm) is the geometric mean of the lower and upper diameters of a particular diameter step
within which the chosen the diameter D lies.
Diameter steps in I.S.I are: (a-b, where a is above and b is up to)
1-3, 3-6, 6-10, 10-18, 18-30, 30-50, 50-80, 80-120, 120-180, 180-250, 250-315, 315-400 and 400-

Example 1: Evaluate limits and fits for a pair of – Diameter 6 H7/g6


Solution: The size 6 mm lies in the diametral step of 3–6, therefore, D is given by
D = 3 × 6 = 4.24 mm
The value of fundamental tolerance unit is given by
i = 0.45 3 D + 0.001D
i = 0.45 3 4.24 + 0.001 × 4.24
i = 0.7327 mm
Limits of tolerance for hole H7
The standard tolerance is
16 i = 16 × 0.7327 = 11.72 = 12 mm
The fundamental deviation H hole is = 0
Limits of tolerance for g6 shaft
The standard tolerance is
– 10 i = 10 × 0.7327 = 7.327 = – 8 mm
Fundamental deviation for g shaft
= – 2.5D0.34 = – 2.5(4.24)0.34 = – 4.085 = – 4mm

Fit
Maximum clearance = Maximum size of hole – Minimum size of shaft
= 6.012 – 6.988 = 0.024 mm = 24 mm
Minimum clearance = Minimum size of hole – Maximum size of shaft
= 6.000 – 6.996 = 0.004 mm = 4 mm
Ans: The type of fit is Clearance.

Example 2: Calculate the limits of sizes for f 20 P7/h6 and identify the fit.
Solution: The size 20 mm lies in the diameter steps of 18–24 mm. Hence, D is given by
D = 18 × 24 = 20.78 mm
The fundamental tolerance unit i is given by
i = 0.45 3 20.78 + 0.001 × 20.78 = 1.258 mm
Limits evaluation for P7 Hole
The fundamental deviation P7 hole = IT6 + 0 to 5 = 10 i + 5
10 × 1.258 + 5 = 17.58 = 18 mm
For grade 7 the standard tolerance is

7.3 MACHINinG AND SURFACE ROUGHNESS SYMBOLS

7.3.1. Symbols for Indication of Surface Roughness


The basic symbols used for indication of surface roughness consists of two legs of unequal length inclined
at approximately 60° to the line representing the surface as shown in Fig. 7.14.
If a bar is added to the basic symbol as shown in the Fig. 7.15 then the meaning of the symbol will
the material is to be removed by machining.

When only one value is specified then it shows the maximum permissible value of the surface
roughness. In many cases it becomes necessary to show the maximum and minimum limits of the surface
roughness then it is represented by the limit as a1 and a2 which is to be written on the symbol as shown
in Fig. 7.21.
The roughness value in microns may be indicated by the corresponding roughness grade number as
shown in the Table 7.2.

Representation of
Welded Joints

8.1 INTRODUCTION
The Welding is a way of heating pieces of metal using the electricity or a flame so that they melt and
stick together. There are many kinds of welding, including arc welding, resistance welding, plasma
welding, MIG welding, TIG welding and gas welding. The most common type is arc welding. Anyone
who is near arc welding needs to wear a special helmet or goggles because the arc is so bright. Looking
at the arc without visual protection may cause permanent eye damage. It is also important to cover all
your skin because it can give you something like a sunburn. Hot sparks from the weld can burn any skin
that is showing. One kind of welding that does not use an arc is Oxy-fuel welding (OFW), sometimes
called gas welding. OFW uses a flame to heat up the metal. There are other kinds of welding that do not
use an arc. A welding is a permanent type of joint. Figure 8.1 shows the basic features of the welding.

8.3 DIMENSIONING OF WELDS


The dimensions of the welds are as shown in the Fig. 8.4. The main dimension relative to the cross section
of the weld is written on the left hand side of the symbol. The longitudinal dimensions are written on the
right hand side of the symbol and the absence of any indication following the symbol means the welding
is continuous over the entire length of the work piece.

In the butt welds, if any indication is not mention it means that it shall have complete penetration.
In the case of fillet welds, generally two methods are used for indication of dimensions:
1. In the form of leg length (z)
2. In the form of throat thickness (a).
Hence, the letters a and z are generally used for the representation and its value is placed after the
symbol. The Fig. 8.5 shows the detail method of dimension on fillet weld.

Riveted Joints

9.1 INTRODUCTION
Often small machine components are joined together to form a larger machine part. Design of joints is
as important as that of machine components because a weak joint may spoil the utility of a carefully
designed machine part. Mechanical joints are broadly classified into two classes viz., non-permanent
joints and permanent joints. Non-permanent joints can be assembled and dissembled without damaging
the components. Examples of such joints are threaded fasteners (like screw-joints), keys and couplings
etc. Permanent joints cannot be dissembled without damaging the components. These joints can be of
two kinds depending upon the nature of force that holds the two parts. The force can be of mechanical
origin, for example, riveted joints, joints formed by press or interference fit etc., where two components
are joined by applying mechanical force. The components can also be joined by molecular force, for
example, welded joints, brazed joints, joints with adhesives etc. Not until long ago riveted joints were
very often used to join structural members permanently. However, significant improvement in welding
and bolted joints has curtained the use of these joints. Even then, rivets are used in structures, ship body,
bridge, tanks and shells, where high joint strength is required.
A rivet is a short cylindrical bar with a headed integral to it. The cylindrical portion of the rivet is
known as shank or body while the lower portion of shank is known as tail as shown in Figure 9.1.

Fig. 9.1. Basic feature of rivet

The rivets are used to make permanent fastening between the plates such as in structural work, ship
building, bridges, tanks and boiler shells. The rivet joints are generally used for joining light metals.

9.2 RIVETS AND RIVETING


A Rivet is a short cylindrical rod having a head and a tapered tail. The main body of the rivet is called
shank. According to Indian standard specifications rivet heads are of various types. Rivets heads for general
190
Riveted Joints 191

purposes are specified by Indian standards IS: 2155-1982 (below 12 mm diameter) and IS: 1929-1982
(from 12 mm to 48 mm diameter). Rivet heads used for boiler works are specified by IS: 1928-1978. Rivet
and its parts Riveting is an operation whereby two plates are joined with the help of a rivet as shown in
figure 9.2. Adequate mechanical force is applied to make the joint strong and leak proof. Smooth holes
are drilled or punched and reamed in two plates to be joined and the rivet is inserted. Holding, then,
the head by means of a backing up bar necessary force is applied at the tail end with a die until the tail
deforms plastically to the required shape. Depending upon whether the rivet is initially heated or not,
the riveting operation can be of two types:
(a) Cold Riveting: It is done at ambient temperature.
(b) Hot Riveting: The rivets are initially heated before applying force. After riveting is done, the
joint is heat-treated by quenching and tempering. In order to ensure leak-proof of the joints, when
it is required, additional operation like caulking is done.

9.5 CAULKING AND FULLERING


Caulking is the processes and material to seal the joints or seams in various structures and some types
of piping. The oldest form of caulking is used to make the seams in wooden boats or ships watertight,
by driving fibrous materials into the wedge-shaped seams between boards. In this process narrow blunt
tool called caulking tool is used. The thickness of tool is about 5 mm and the edge of the tool is ground
to an angle of 80 degree.
It is used to obtain leak proof joints. Surface finish obtained is less compared to fullering. It has more
risk of damaging the plates. The caulking tool is as shown in Figure 9.7.

Fullering is more satisfactory way of making the joints staunch which has largely superseded
caulking. It is used to obtain leak proof joints. It is carried out by using fullering tools. The thickness of
tool is equal to the thickness of the plate. It is gives clean surface finish and less risk of damaging the
plates. The fullering tool is as shown in Figure 9.8.

9.6 PROPORTIONS FOR HOLE DIAMETER AND RIVET LENGTH


As per the standard the hole diameter and rivet length proportions is as shown in the Figure 9.9.
D

1.0625 D
1.5 D

Fig. 9.9. Hole diameter and rivet length proportions

The diameter of riveted hole may be determined by using the equation as d = 6 t where t is the
thickness of the plate.
The distance of centre of the rivet from edge of the plate is taken as 1.5 times the diameter and margin
should be the diameter of rivet.
Longitudinal pitch (p) is to be taken as three times the diameter of rivet.
Transverse pitch (pt) should be equal to 0.8 times the pitch for chain riveting and 0.6 times the pitch
for zig-zag riveting.
Thickness of butt strap for single cover plate should be 1.125 times the thickness of plate and for
double cover plate it should be 0.7 to 0.8 times the thickness of plate.

9.7 CLASSIFICATION OF RIVETED JOINTS AND JOINT EFFICIENCY


The classification of riveted joints can be done in following ways:
1. According to the purpose of rivets: Based on purpose the riveted joints can be classified into
three types:
1.1 Strong Joints: Strong rivet joints strength is the only criterion. These joints are used in
engineering structure such as trusses, beams and machine frames.
1.2 Tight Joints: Tight rivet joints provide strength as well as are leak proof against low pressures.
Joints in reservoirs, containers, and tanks fall under this group.
1.3 Strong Tight Joints: Strong tight rivet joints are used in boilers and pressure vessels and
ensure both strength and leak proof less.
2. According to the position of plates connected: According to the position of plates connected
riveted joints are classified into two types:
9.7.2.1. Lap joint: In a lap joint the edges of plates are simply laid over each other and riveted.

9.7.2.2. Butt joint: In Butt, joint plates lie in the same plane and joined through cover plates.

196 Machine Drawing

9.7.2.3. Lap Joints: The plates that are to be joined are brought face to face such that an overlap
exists, as shown in figure 9.10. Rivets are inserted on the overlapping portion. Single or
multiple rows of rivets are used to give strength to the joint. Depending upon the number
of rows the riveted joints may be classified as single riveted lap joint, double or triple
riveted lap joint etc. When multiple joints are used, the arrangement of rivets between two
neighbouring rows may be of two kinds. In chain riveting the adjacent rows have rivets
in the same transverse line. In zig-zag riveting, on the other hand, the adjacent rows of
rivets are staggered. Different types of lap joints are shown in the Figure 9.11 to 9.15.

9.7.2.3. Butt Joints: In this type of joint, the plates are brought to each other without forming any
overlap. A butt joint is that in which the main plates are kept in alignment butting (i.e. touching)
each other and a cover plate (i.e. strap) is placed either on one side or on both sides of the main
plates. The cover plate is then riveted together with the main plates. Depending upon the number
of cover plates the butt joints may be single strap or double strap butt joints. A single strap butt
joint is shown in figure 9.16 .
Rivet Butt strap

Main plate Main plate

Fig. 9.16. Butt joint (Single strap)

The arrangement of the rivets may be of various kinds, namely, single row, double or triple chain
or zigzag.
2.1 Single strap butt joint: In a single strap butt joint, the edges of the main plates butt against
each other and only one cover plate is placed on one side of the main plates and then riveted
together.
2.2 Double strap butt joint: In a double strap butt joint, the edges of the main plates butt against
each other and two cover plates are placed on both sides of the main plates and then riveted
together.
Riveted Joints 199

In addition to the above, following are the types of riveted joints depending upon the number of
rows of the rivets.
1. Single riveted joint: A single riveted joint is that in which there is a single row of rivets in a lap
joint as shown in Fig. 9.17 and there is a single row of rivets on each side in a butt joint as shown
in Fig. 9.18.
2. Double riveted joint: A double riveted joint is that in which there are two rows of rivets as shown
in Fig. 9.19. When the rivets in the various rows are opposite to each other, as shown in Fig. 9.19
then the joint is said to be chain riveted. On the other hand, if the rivets in the adjacent rows are
staggered in such a way that every rivet is in the middle of the two rivets of the opposite row as
shown in Fig. 9.22, then the joint is said to be zig-zag riveted.

JOINT EFFICIENCY
The strength of a rivet joint is measured by its efficiency. The efficiency of a joint is defined as the ratio
between the strength of a riveted joint to the strength of an un riveted joints or a solid plate. Obviously,
the efficiency of the riveted joint not only depends upon the size and the strength of the individual rivets
202 Machine Drawing

but also on the overall arrangement and the type of joints. Usual range of the efficiencies, expressed in
percentiles of the joints are given in Table 9.1.
Table 9.1: Efficiencies of riveted joints (in %)

Joints Efficiencies (in %)

Lap Single riveted 50-60

Double riveted 60-72

Triple riveted 72-80

Butt (double strap) Single riveted 55-60

Double riveted 76-84

Triple riveted 80-88

9.8 DESIGN PARAMETERS OF RIVET JOINTS


The strength of a joint may be defined as the maximum force, which it can transmit, without causing it
to fail. A little consideration will show that if we go on increasing the pull on a riveted joint, it will fail
when the least of these three pulls is reached, because a higher value of the other pulls will never reach
since the joint has failed, either by tearing off the plate, shearing off the rivet or crushing off the rivet. If
the joint is continuous as in case of boilers, the strength is calculated per pitch length. But if the joint is
small, the strength is calculated for the whole length of the plate.
A joint may fail due to tearing of the plate at an edge. This can be avoided by keeping the margin,
m = 1.5d, where d is the diameter of the rivet hole.
Due to the tensile stresses in the main plates, the main plate or cover plates may tear off across a row
of rivets as shown in Fig. 9.23. In such cases, we consider only one pitch length of the plate, since every
rivet is responsible for that much length of the plate only. The resistance offered by the plate against
tearing is known as tearing resistance or tearing strength or tearing value of the plate.

Riveted Joints 203

The plates which are connected by the rivets exert tensile stress on the rivets, and if the rivets are
unable to resist the stress, they are sheared off as shown in Fig. 9.24 and 9.25. It may be noted that the
rivets are in single shear in a lap joint and in a single cover butt joint,

Rivet locations are predrilled or punched and reamed. Some rivet is driven at the workshop and others
are made at the jobsite. In all the cases, one should correctly locate and identify rivet connections on the
fabrication drawings. Table 9.2 shows the description and symbol for common rivet joints.

9.10 COMMON USE OF RIVET JOINTS


Although bolts, screws, and nails are far more common in the world of fasteners, many applications
still require the use of rivets. Rivets can support tension loads and are better suited to supporting shear
loads that are perpendicular to their axes. Riveting is ideal in situations where workers cannot access
the back of the product, such as with a walls or tubing. With riveting, there’s no need to access the rear
end of the joint.
Riveting is often a more cost-effective and superior method of fastening. Rivets are easy to install,
and thus, have a lower installation cost, while the unit cost is also often lower. They’re available in a
variety of materials, types, and sizes in order to meet the requirements of many applications, and they’re
reliable because they’re permanently fastened in order to withstand environmental conditions and even
severe vibrations. Riveting was a popular method of fastening in the past but it’s still widely used today
when a light weight and high strength are vital to the application. They can fasten wood, metal, and plastic.
Here are five common uses for rivets.

Home Building
If you look around your home, inside and out, you might see some rivets that you’ve never noticed
before. They’re probably all around you. They’re widely used in gutter construction because nails aren’t
as effective for attaching metal sheets together. Additionally, if you have fiberglass roofing, it’s probably
held together with rivets. Window blinds, hanger straps, wind guards, and even doors and windows are
often installed by riveting.

Wall and Ceiling Fittings


Because you only have access to one side of a wall or ceiling, riveting is ideal if you’re looking to
permanently attach nameplates, signs, or decorations to them. Ornamental objects, Halloween decorations,
framed paintings, photo frames, and just about any other type of decor can be efficiently and easily
attached to walls and ceilings with riveting.

Woodworking
Wooden stands and shelves, cabinets, lockers etc. just about anything made out of wood can be
held together effectively with the use of rivets. In fact, it’s often the most superior option. They’re more
durable than screws and nails, so they ensure a sturdier finished product, which allows the furniture to
be held in place for the long run. Even the hinges used on these products, as well as the drawer pulls,
handles, and doorknobs placed on them are often attached by riveting.

Jewellery
Both professional and amateur jewellery makers use riveting as a cold connection technique. It allows
them to join metal pieces together without having to resort to soldering or using heat, while also adding
depth and texture to their jewellery. With just the most basic metal forming skills, some common tools,
and some instructional videos, any jewellery maker can use riveting to make cold connections.

Aircraft
Naturally, an aircraft will have to be made from solid, strong materials. But these heavy-duty materials
would fall apart if they weren’t fastened together firmly. Though welding, bolting, and brazing are also
Riveted Joints 207

used in the construction of an aircraft, riveting is also vital to the process. The end goal is to have the
strongest union of the parts that are joined together and riveting is necessary to achieve this. It’s most
commonly used to join aluminium alloys together, because aluminium is difficult to solder. Riveting
provides neatness and strength, while also allowing for a lighter weight in an aircraft. Plus, during the
construction and repair of aircrafts, it’s not always possible to reach the rear end of the structure being
fastened, which is where riveting becomes especially useful.

9.11 REVIEW QUESTIONS


1. What should be essential qualities of a rivet and its material?
Ans. From the riveting procedure it is clear that a good rivet material must be tough and ductile. Steel
(low carbon), coppers, brass are good candidates for rivets. According to Indian standard IS: 2998-
1982 the material must have tensile strength of 40 MPa and elongation not less 20%.
2. What are the uses of snap headed, counter shank headed, conical headed and pan headed rivets?
Ans. Snap heads are used mainly for structural work and machine riveting. Counter shank heads are
employed for ship building where flush surfaces are necessary. Conical heads are used where riveting
is done by hand hammering. Pan heads are required where very high strength is needed since they
have the maximum strength, but they are very difficult to shape.

Screw Fasteners
10
10.1 INTRODUCTION
Fasteners are defined as hardware that can be easily installed and removed with hand or power tools.
Common fasteners include screws, bolts, nuts and rivets. The terms bolt and screws do not refer to
specific types of fasteners, but rather how they are used (i.e. the application). Thus the same fastener may
be termed a bolt or a screw. Bolts are defined as headed fasteners having external threads that meet an
exacting, uniform thread specification such that they can accept a non-tapered nut. Screws are defined as
headed, externally-threaded fasteners that do not mate with a non-tapered nut and are instead threaded
into the material they will hold. As shown in Figure 10.1, a bolt joint can be defined as that which uses
a bolt and nut assembly whereas a screw joint can be defined as one in which a screw is mated into a
matching female thread in a work piece while the studs are a hybrid between a bolt and a screw, since
one end of the stud functions as a screw while the other functions as a bolt.
Bolt Screw Stud

Fig. 10.1. Bolt, screw and stud applications

Bolts are often used to make a bolted joint. This is a combination of the nut applying an axial clamping
force and also the shank of the bolt acting as a dowel, pinning the joint against sideways shear forces.
Where a fastener forms its own thread in the component being fastened, it is called a screw. This is most
obviously so when the thread is tapered (i.e. traditional wood screws), precluding the use of a nut, or
when a sheet metal screw or other thread-forming screw is used.
A screw must always be turned to assemble the joint. Many bolts are held fixed in place during
assembly, either by a tool or by a design of non-rotating bolt, such as a carriage bolt, and only the
corresponding nut is turned.
A screwed joint is mainly composed of two elements i.e. a bolt and nut. The screwed joints are widely
used where the machine parts are required to be readily connected or disconnected without damage to the
208
Screw Fasteners 209

machine or the fastening. This may be for the purpose of holding or adjustment in assembly or service
inspection, repair, or replacement or it may be for the manufacturing or assembly reasons.

10.2 FASTENERS FUNCTION


Fasteners have only one intended function to clamp parts together. Fasteners are not meant to position
parts relative to one another. The function of dowel pins as shown in Figure 10.2, locating shoulders
and piloting diameters. Additionally, fasteners are not meant to function as pivots, axles and fulcrums.

More importantly, the threaded portion of a fastener should never be loaded in shear for at least three
reasons. First, the threaded portion of the fastener is of slightly smaller diameter than the unthreaded shank,
allowing the fastener to quickly loosen if transverse loading is applied. Second, the threaded portion of
the bolt has much less surface area than the shank, which means it offers significantly less bearing area
to the joint and this reduces the load carrying capacity and fatigue resistance of the assembly. Third, the
relative motion between the hole and the loose fitting threaded portion of the bolt occurs, the thread will
act as a low speed file, removing material from the inside of the hole, exacerbating the problem. So good
design engineers never load fastener threads in shear.

10.3 TERMS USED IN SCREW THREADS


Screw thread is a continuous helical groove of specified cross-section produced on the external or internal
surface. A screw thread formed on a cylinder is known as straight or parallel screw thread, while screw
thread formed on a cone or frustum is known as the tapered screw thread. Following are the terms used
in screw threads.
1. Major diameter: It is the largest diameter of an external or internal screw thread. The screw is
specified by this diameter. It is also known as outside or nominal diameter.
2. Minor diameter: It is the smallest diameter of an external or internal screw thread. It is also
known as core or root diameter.
3. Axis of a thread: This is an imaginary line running longitudinally through the centre of the screw.
4. Crest: Crest of the thread is the top most surface joining the two sides.
5. Root: Root of the thread is the bottom of the groove between the two flanks.

6. Flank: Flank of thread are straight edges which connect the crest with the root of the thread.
7. Pitch: Pitch of a thread is the distance measured parallel to the axis from a point on a thread to
the corresponding points on adjacent thread forms in the same axial plane and on the same side
of the axis.
8. Pitch diameter: It is a theoretical diameter between the major and minor diameter of screw
threads.
9. Slope: It is half the pitch of the thread.
10. Lead: It is the distance between two corresponding points on the same helix. It may also be defined
as the distance which a screw thread advances axially in one rotation of the nut. Lead is equal
to the pitch in case of single start threads, it is twice the pitch in double start, thrice the pitch in
triple start and so on.
8. Depth of thread: It is the perpendicular distance between the crest and root.
9. Flank: It is the surface joining the crest and root.
10. Helix angle: On the straight thread, It is the angle made by the helix of the thread at the pitch line
with the axis.
11. Lead angle: On the straight thread, It is the angle made by the helix of the thread at the pitch line
with a plane perpendicular to the axis. Lead angle is measured in an axial plane.
12. Flank angle: Flank angle is the angle made by the flank of a thread with the perpendicular to the
axis of a thread.
13. Included angle: Included angle is the angle between the flanks or slope of the thread measured
in an axial plane.

10.4 TYPES OF SCREW


The different types of screws available today in the market, depending upon its applications. These
types can be distinguished depending upon the driving methods, job requirement, head shape, type
of threads and material used to make such metal pieces. Some of the types are mention below in the
Tables 10.1 and 10.2.
Screw Fasteners 211

Sheet Metal Screws: Usually threaded all the way to their head, these will work in wood. Most of
these screws are self-tapping in that they only require a pre-drilled hole, but some come with self-drilling
or self-tapping tips.
Drywall Screws: The coarse thread version is meant to secure drywall to wood while the fine thread
version is for attachment to metal studs commonly used in office construction. The head-to-shaft junction
is more curved than in a wood screw to prevent tearing of the dry-wall.
Slotted, Phillips and Square drives: The main drawback of slotted heads is that power driven screw
drivers easily came out. Phillips heads address this problem to a certain extent, but these were actually
designed to cause the bit to came out at a certain point to prevent over-tightening. There have been
revisions of the original Phillips head, most notably the patented Pozidriv, which does not have rounded
internal corners and won’t cause the driving bit to pop out. The square or Robertson drive is least likely
to came out and transfers the greatest amount of torque.
Carriage Bolts: These have a square shank that sinks into and grips wood when a nut is tightened.
Flat and Oval Head: The most common type of head for wood, these heads end up flush or below
the surface of the wood when installed. An oval head is similar, except that it has a decorative rounded
top that remains above the surface.
Security Heads: These screws have heads that are either impossible to reverse or require a special
driver to operate. Some even have sacrificial heads that can be broken off after installing the screw.
Hex Washer Head and Truss head: These screws have a built in washer to help distribute load to a
wider area. A truss head is a flatter and wider than a typical round or pan head and serves the same purpose.
Machine screws: Are generally stronger than wood screws, have finer threads and are made more
precisely. They’re used with nuts or tapped holes. Several examples are shown below.
Socket Screws: While many hex cap screws may be found in vehicles, socket head screws are
becoming more popular and have some space saving advantages over hex cap screws. Socket heads take
up less space themselves and don’t require side room for wrenches. They also are usually made from
stronger alloy steel vs. hex cap screws, but this depends on the grade and manufacturer.
Allen/Hex Socket: Most socket head screws accept a hex or Allen wrench (6 sided), these were
designed to prevent the driver from camming out, and can transfer more torque than a Phillips or slotted
driver.
Button Head: This head is largely decorative and somewhat similar to a round head, but flatter.
Flat head (counter sunk): These require a pre-drilled counter sink, and are typically angled at 82
degrees (Unified thread), which, by the way, is not the angle created by most drill bits (118 degrees).
Metric flat heads have 90 degree angles.
Shoulder Screws: These have precision ground shanks that remain above the head of a hole and
provide a simple way to make an axel for a wheel. They are also used when something must be secured,
but not clamped.
Set Screws: These are threaded along their entire length and are typically used to secure a shaft from
rotating. They’re used in pulleys, sprockets, collars and knobs among other things.

10.5 FORMS OF SCREW THREADS


Basically when a helical groove is cut or generated over a cylindrical or conical section, threads are
formed. When a point moves parallel to the axis of a rotating cylinder or cone held between centres, a
helix is generated. Screw threads formed in this way have two functions to perform in general:
(a) To transmit power - Square. Acme, Buttress, Knuckle types of thread forms are useful for this
purpose. Square threads give higher efficiency due to a low friction.
(b) To secure one member to another- V-threads are most useful for this purpose due to they do not
shake loose due to the wedging action provided by the thread.
Some standard forms are shown in Figures 10.4 to 10.13.
1. British standard whitworth (B.S.W.) thread: This is a British standard thread profile and has
coarse pitches. It is a symmetrical V-thread in which the angle between the flankes, measured in an
axial plane, is 55°. These threads are found on bolts and screwed fastenings for special purposes.
The various proportions of B.S.W. threads are shown in Fig. 10.4.

has flat crests and roots. The flat crest can withstand more rough usage than sharp V-threads. These
threads are used for general purposes e.g. on bolts, nuts, screws and tapped holes. The various

mechanisms of machine tools, valves, spindles, screw jacks etc. The square threads are not so
strong as V-threads but they offer less frictional resistance to motion than Whitworth threads. The
proportions of the thread are shown in Fig. 10.8.

10.6 COMMON TYPES OF SCREW FASTENINGS


Following are the common types of screw fastenings:
Screw Fasteners 217

1. Bolts: A through bolt is shown in Fig. 10.14. It is a cylindrical bar with threads for the nut at
one end and head at the other end. The cylindrical part of the bolt is known as shank. It is passed
through drilled holes in the two parts to be fastened together and clamped them securely to each
other as the nut is screwed on to the threaded end. The through bolts may or may not have a
machined finish and are made with either hexagonal or square heads. The through bolts according
to their usage may be known as machine bolts, carriage bolts, automobile bolts, eye bolts.

Fig. 10.14. Fastenings through bolts

2. Tap bolts: A tap bolt or screw differs from a bolt. It is screwed into a tapped hole of one of the
parts to be fastened without the nut, as shown in Fig. 10.15.

Fig. 10.15. Fastenings through tap bolts

3. Studs: A stud is a round bar threaded at both ends. One end of the stud is screwed into a tapped
hole of the parts to be fastened, while the other end receives a nut on it, as shown in Fig. 10.16.
Studs are chiefly used instead of tap bolts for securing various kinds of covers e.g. covers of engine
and pump cylinders, valves, chests etc.

Fig. 10.16. Fastenings through studs

4. Cap screws: The cap screws are similar to tap bolts except that they are of small size and a variety
of shapes of heads are available as shown in Fig. 10.17.

Fig. 10.17. Types of cap screws

The most common thread types are the inch-based Unified coarse/fine and metric coarse/fine. The
differences of coarse thread over fine threads are
1. Coarse threads have fewer threads per inch than fine threads.
2. Coarse threads are more common, and more shops will have coarse taps.
3. Coarse threads are less likely to cross-thread, or jam because the screw is inserted at an angle.
They’re also faster to install.
4. Screws with fine threads are slightly stronger. This is because the smaller fine threads take up less
of the available area.
5. Coarse threads are slightly stronger per length of engagement than finer threads.
6. Fine threads provide finer adjustment since they advance less per rotation than coarse threads.

10.7 TYPES OF BOLTS AND MATERIAL


Bolts use a wide variety of head designs, as do screws. These are designed to engage with the tool used
to tighten them. Some bolt heads instead lock the bolt in place, so that it does not move and a tool is only
needed for the nut end. Common bolt heads include hex, slotted hex washer, and socket cap.
The first bolts had square heads, formed by forging. These are still found, although much more
common today is the hexagonal head. These are held and turned by a spanner or wrench, of which there
are many forms. Most are held from the side, some from in-line with the bolt. Other bolts have T-heads
and slotted heads. Following are the major types of bolts
Anchor Bolt: Bolt designed to allow objects to be attached to concrete. The bolt head is usually
placed in concrete before it has cured, leaving the threaded end exposed.
Arbor bolt: Bolt with a washer permanently attached and reversed threading. Designed for use
in and other tools to auto tighten during use to prevent blade fall out.
Screw Fasteners 219

Carriage bolt: Bolt with a smooth rounded head and a square section to prevent turning followed
with a threaded section for a nut.
Elevator bolt: Bolt with a large flat head used in conveyor system setups.
Hanger bolt: Bolt that has no head, machine threaded body followed by a wood threaded screw tip.
Allow nuts to be attached to what is really a screw.
Hex bolt: Bolt with a hexagonal head and threaded body. Section immediately under head may or
may not be threaded.
J bolt: Bolt shaped like the letter J used for tie downs. Only the non-curved section is threaded for
a nut to be attached.
Lag bolt: Not a true bolt. Hex bolt head with thread screw tip for use in wood.
Rock bolt: Used in tunnel construction to stabilize walls.
Chicago bolt: Bolt that has a male and female part with interior threads and bolt heads on either
end. Commonly used in paper binding.
Shoulder bolt: Bolt with a broad smooth shoulder and small threaded end used to create a pivot or
attachment point.
U bolt: Bolt shaped like the letter U where the two straight sections are threaded. A straight metal
plate with two bolt holes is used with nuts to hold pipes or other round objects to the U-bolt.
Selection of bolt material
Regarding the requirement of the strength and circumstance, there are several types of material can
be used for the Fastener Material Selection.
•• Steel Fasteners (Grade 2,5,8) - the level of strength
•• Stainless Steel Fasteners (Martensitic Stainless Steel, Austenitic Stainless Steel),
•• Bronze and Brass Fasteners - Water proof usage
•• Nylon Fasteners - It is used for the light material and water proof usage.
•• In general Steel is the most commonly used material of all fasteners (90 %) above.

10.8 LOCKING DEVICES


Ordinary thread fastenings, generally, remain tight under static loads, but many of these fastenings become
loose under the action of variable loads or when machine is subjected to vibrations. The loosening of
fastening is very dangerous and must be prevented. In order to prevent this, a large number of locking
devices are available, some of which are discussed below:
1. Lock nut: A most common locking device is a jam, lock or check nut. It has about one-half to
two-third thickness of the standard nut. The thin lock nut is first tightened down with ordinary
force, and then the upper nut is tightened down upon it, as shown in Fig. 10.18. The upper nut is
then held tightly while the lower one is slackened back against it.
220 Machine Drawing

Lock

Fig. 10.18. Lock nut

2. Castle nut: It consists of a hexagonal portion with a cylindrical upper part which is slotted in line
with the centre of each face, as shown in Fig. 10.19. The split pin passes through two slots in the
nut and a hole in the bolt, so that a positive lock is obtained unless the pin shears. It is extensively
used on jobs subjected to sudden shocks and considerable vibration such as in automobile industry.

Fig. 10.19. Castle nut

3. Sawn nut: It has a slot sawed about half way through, as shown in Fig. 10.20. After the nut is
screwed down, the small screw is tightened which produces more friction between the nut and
the bolt. This prevents the loosening of nut.
0.2 d 0.2 d

4. Penn, ring or grooved nut: It has a upper portion hexagonal and a lower part cylindrical as
shown in Fig. 10.21. It is largely used where bolts pass through connected pieces reasonably
near their edges such as in marine type connecting rod ends. The bottom portion is cylindrical
and is recessed to receive the tip of the locking set screw. The bolt hole requires counter-boring
to receive the cylindrical portion of the nut. In order to prevent bruising of the latter by the case
hardened tip of the set screw, it is recessed.

5. Locking with pin: The nuts may be locked by means of a taper pin or cotter pin passing through
the middle of the nut as shown in Fig. 10.22 and a split pin is often driven through the bolt above
the nut, as shown in Fig. 10.22.

7. Spring lock washer: A spring lock washer is shown in Fig. 10.24. As the nut tightens the washer
against the piece below, one edge of the washer is caused to dig itself into that piece, thus increasing
the resistance so that the nut will not loosen so easily.

10.9 DESIGNATION OF SCREW THREADS


In general, fasteners are referred to by their shank size. Standard (inch) fasteners are referred to by
their shank size and the number of threads per inch they possess–for example 3/8″-16 or ½″-20, and are
pronounced “three-eighths sixteen” or “one-half twenty.” Standard (inch) fasteners which are ¼″ and
larger are referred to by their nominal shank size. Fasteners smaller than ¼″ are referred to by “screw
size” designations, such as “number 10 or number 6”. Metric fasteners are referred to by their shank
size and thread pitch–for example M6 × 1.0 or M10 × 1.5, and are pronounced “metric six by one” or
“M ten by one point five”.
According to Indian standards, IS: 4218, the complete designation of the screw thread shall include
size designation. The size of the screw thread is designated by the letter ‘M’ followed by the diameter
and pitch, the two being separated by the sign ×. When there is no indication of the pitch, it shall mean
that a coarse pitch is implied.
For example, A bolt thread of 6 mm size of coarse pitch and with allowance on the threads and normal
tolerance grade is designated as M6 – 8d.

Fastener Nomenclature
Design engineers are frequently tasked with selecting and specifying fasteners used in their designs.
Consequently, understanding basic fastener nomenclature is important. Figure 10.25 illustrates the different
parts of a standard threaded fastener.

10.10 SETSCREWS
A set screw is a type of screw generally used to secure an object within or against another object, normally
not using a nut common examples are securing a pulley or gear to a shaft. Set screws are usually headless,
meaning that the screw is fully threaded and has no head projecting past the major diameter of the screw
thread. If a set screw has a head, the thread will extend all the way to the head (whereas a bolt might
have an unthreaded shank between the head and thread). The set screw passes through a threaded hole in
the outer object and is tightened against the inner object to prevent it from moving relative to the outer
object. It exerts compressional or clamping force through the bottom tip that projects through the hole.
The different types of set screws are shown in Fig. 10.26.

10.11 MULTIPLE THREADED SCREWS


A screw thread is formed by cutting a continuous helical groove on a cylindrical surface. A screw made
by cutting a single helical groove on the cylinder is known as single threaded (or single-start) screw and
if a second thread is cut in the space between the grooves of the first, a double threaded (or double-start)
screw is formed. Similarly, triple and quadruple (i.e. multiple-start) threads may be formed. The helical
grooves may be cut either right hand or left hand. The multiple threaded screws are shown in Fig. 10.29.
in which (a) is single start, (b) is double start and (c) is triple start threaded screws.

Fig. 10.29. Multiple threaded screws

Left Hand Threads: Unless otherwise specified, screw threads are assumed to be right-handed.
This means that the direction of the thread helix is such that a clockwise rotation of the thread will cause
it to advance along its axis. Left-handed threads advance when rotated counter clockwise. Left-handed
threads are often used in situations where rotation loads would cause right-hand threads to loosen during
service. A common example is the bicycle. The pedals of a bicycle are attached to the crank arm using
screw threads. The pedal on one side of the bicycle uses right-hand threads and the other uses left-hand.
This prevents the motion of pedals and crank from unscrewing the pedal and having it fall off during
use. Left-hand threads must be indicated in the thread specification. This is accomplished by appending
“LH” to the end of the specification.

10.12 FOUNDATION BOLTS


Foundation bolts are used for fixing machines to their foundations. D
Foundation bolts are made by forging from mild steel or wrought
iron rods. The bolt size depends upon the size of the machine and
2.5 D

the magnitude of the forces that act on them when the machine is in
operation. For setting the bolts in position, their positions are marked
and then suspended in the holes made in the ground. Afterwards,
15 D

cement concrete is filled in the space around in the bolts. Once the
concrete sets; the bolts are firmly secured to the ground. There are
different types of foundation bolts are used depending on its specific

applications. Generally used foundation bolts are discussed below.


Eye Foundation Bolt: This is the simplest form of all foundation
bolts. In this, one end of the bolt is forged into an eye and a cross
piece is fixed in it. Figure below shows an eye foundation bolt that
is set in concrete.

Bent Foundation Bolt: As the name implies, this bolt is forged in bent form and set in cement
concrete. When machines are to be placed on stone beds, the bolts are set in lead. Figure 10.31 shows a

Lewis Foundation Bolt: This is a removable foundation bolt. The body of the bolt is tapered in
width on one side. To use this bolt, a pit is produced in cement concrete, by using a (foundation) block.
Once the concrete sets-in, the bolt is placed in it so that the tapered bolt surface, bears against the tapered
face of the pit. A key is then inserted, bearing against the straight surfaces of the pit and the bolt. This
arrangement makes the bolt firm in the bed. However, the bolt may be removed by withdrawing the key.

10.14 OVER-TIGHTENING VS. UNDER-TIGHTENING


As design engineers, each of us is ultimately responsible for the success or failure of the components
and systems we design. When it comes to fasteners, it is important to understand the consequence of
over-tightening versus under-tightening fastener joints. Un-intuitively, it is actually better to over-tighten
a bolted joint than to under-tighten.
Stress is a measure of how much tensile load is placed on the fastener and strain is a measure of the
fastener’s change in length. The yield strength denotes the point (or magnitude) above which the material
yields or permanently deforms. As additional load is placed on the fastener beyond the onset of yield, the
strength actually increases as the material undergoes strain hardening, to the maximum (or “ultimate”)
stress point. Beyond the ultimate tensile strength, the material begins to neck (which is a local reduction
of cross sectional diameter) and finally fails at the point of fracture.

10.15 APPLICATIONS OF FASTENERS


Fastener holds the joints of fixtures form holding the chairs and tables to automobile parts. Applications of
fasteners are very diverse ranging from daily use items like boxes, envelope where fasteners are used for
closing them to hi-tech gazebos and special purpose closing devices like the bread clip etc. The industry
is strongly tied to the production of automobiles, aircraft, appliances, agricultural machinery, commercial
construction, and infrastructure. These are just some of the most common uses for fasteners. When looking
for the perfect way to secure the materials used in your construction project, contact a supplier that is
not only knowledgeable but also carries an unending supply of nails, screws and specialized screws.

Keys
11
11.1 INTRODUCTION
In mechanical engineering, a key is a machine element used to connect a rotating machine element to
a shaft. The key prevents relative rotation between the two parts and may enable torque transmission.
For a key to function, the shaft and rotating machine element must have a keyway and a key seat, which
is a slot and pocket in which the key fits. The whole system is called a keyed joint. A keyed joint may
allow relative axial movement between the parts.

Fig. 11.1. Keyway seat in shaft and sprocket

11.2 Types of Keys


There are four main types of keys: Taper keys, Parallel keys, Woodruff key, Round key and sub types of
keys are sunk, saddle, round, and spline.
11.2.1. Taper Keys
The tapered key is tapered only on the side that engages the hub. The keyway in the hub has a
taper that matches that of the tapered key. Some taper keys have a gib, or tab, for easier removal during
disassembly. The purpose of the taper is to secure the key itself, as well as, to firmly engage the shaft to
the hub without the need for a set screw. The problem with taper keys is that they can cause the centre
of the shaft rotation to be slightly off of the mating part.
Sunk Taper Keys
The sunk keys are provided half in the keyway of the shaft and half in the keyway of the hub or boss
of the pulley. The sunk keys are of the following types: rectangular, square, parallel sunk.
229
230 Machine Drawing

Square and rectangular Parallel keys: The cross section of the key is either square or rectangular
and hence the name. This is the most standardized version of keys currently being used in all applications.
The size of the key to be selected based on the shaft size is already been standardized for rectangular keys.
A rectangular sunk key usual proportions are:
Width of key, w = d/4; and thickness of key, t = 2w/3 = d/6
where d = Diameter of the shaft or diameter of the hole in the hub.
The key has taper 1 in 100 on the top side only as shown in Figure 11.2.
Square sunk key: The only difference between a rectangular sunk key and a square sunk key is that
its width and thickness are equal. i.e.,
w = t = d/4

For the saddle keys keyway is not provided in the shaft. Saddle keys are generally two types: (a)
hollow saddle key and (b) flat saddle key. Saddle keys are used for light duty.

11.2.4. Parallel or Feather Keys


Parallel keys are the most widely used and have uniform cross section throughout their length. They
have a square or rectangular cross-section. Square keys are used for smaller shafts and rectangular faced
keys are used for shaft diameters over 170 mm or when the wall thickness of the mating hub is an issue.
Set screws often accompany parallel keys to lock the mating parts into place. The keyway is a longitudinal
slot in both the shaft and mating part. The various types of parallel keys are discussed below.

Parallel Sunk Key


The parallel sunk keys may be of rectangular or square section uniform in width and thickness
throughout. It may be noted that a parallel key is a taper less and is used where the pulley, gear or other

mating piece is required to slide along the shaft. Figure 11.6 shows a parallel sunk key fitted to the shaft
with help of set screws.

11.2.5. Woodruff Key


Woodruff keys are semicircular fitting partly into a circular segment keyway with the remainder fitting
into a longitudinal slot keyway in the mating part as shown in figure 11.11. The circular segment can be
cut directly by plunge cutting with a circular Woodruff cutter without any reliefs. The main advantage
of the Woodruff key is the elimination of milling near shaft shoulders. The more exact fit of the key and
keyway also reduces play, and stress concentrations and improves the reliability of the key. Common
applications include machine tools, automotive applications and marine propellers. This type of key tends
to have a lesser shear strength than compared to that of a rectangular or square key.

Here a circular pin used in the place of a key. The shaft and the hub both possess a semicircular hole
in them to accommodate the Pin key. The advantage of this type of key is that the stress concentration

Cotter and Kunckle Joints


12
12.1 INTRODUCTION
Cotter and knuckle joints are temporary fasteners used to connect two rods transmitting axial force.
A cotter is a tapered piece of flat, mild steel connecting two coaxial rods. The cotter is inserted in a
transverse direction to the rods. It is tapered on one side or on both sides so that it can be driven into the
rectangular slots provided in the rods. The cotter contacts the two rods through frictional contact force.

12.2 Cotter Joints


The taper in cotter varies from 1 in 48 to 1 in 24 and it may be increased up to 1 in 8, if a locking device
is provided. Taper is usually 1 in 24 and provides mainly two benefits: (i) cotter becomes tight in the slot
due to wedge action. This ensures tightness of the joint in operating conditions and prevents loosening of
the parts. (ii) Due to its taper shape, it is easy to remove the cotter and dismantle the joint. The locking
device may be a taper pin or a set screw used on the lower end of the cotter. The cotter is usually made
of mild steel or wrought iron.
Before going into detailed steps of cotter joint, it is necessary to understand clearly the various
components, their functions and assembly of cotter joint. The exploded and assemble view of cotter joint
is shown in figures 12.1 and 12.2.

Applications of cotter: Following are the major applications of cotter Joint.


1. Connection of the piston rod with the cross heads
2. Joining of tail rod with piston rod of a wet air pump
3. Foundation bolt
4. Connecting two halves of fly wheel (cotter and dowel arrangement)
Comparison between key and cotter:
1. Key is usually driven parallel to the axis of the shaft which is subjected to torsional or twisting
stress. Whereas cotter is normally driven at right angles to the axis of the connected part which
is subjected to the tensile or compressive loads along its axis.
2. A key resists shear over a longitudinal section whereas a cotter resist shear over two transverse
section.
Advantages of Cotter Joint: Followings are major advantages of cotter joints.
1. Simple to design and manufacture.     
2. Simple to assemble and dismantle.
3. Very high tightening force due to wedge action, which prevents loosening of parts in service.

12.3 Types of cotter Joints


There are the three commonly used cotter joints to connect two rods by a cotter:
1. Socket and spigot cotter joint.
2. Sleeve and cotter joint, and
3. Gib or Strap and cotter joint.

12.3.1. Socket and Spigot Cotter Joint


It is used to connect two circular rods. The load is usually acting axially, but it changes its direction
and hence the cotter joint must be designed to carry both the tensile and compressive loads. In a socket
and spigot cotter joint, one end of the rods (say A) is provided with a socket type of end as shown in Fig.
12.3 and figure 12.4, the other end of the other rod (say B) is inserted into a socket. The end of the rod
which goes into a socket is also called spigot. A rectangular hole is made in the socket and spigot. A cotter
is then driven tightly through a hole in order to make the temporary connection between the two rods.

12.3.2. Sleeve and Cotter Joint


It is also used to connect two circular rods. In this type of joint, a sleeve or muff is used over the
two rods and then two cotters (one on each rod end) are inserted in the holes provided for them in the
sleeve and rods. The taper of cotter is usually 1 in 24. It may be noted that the taper sides of the two
cotters should face each other as shown in Fig. 12.5. The clearance is so adjusted that when the cotters
are driven in, the two rods come closer to each other thus making the joint tight.

12.3.3. Gib or Strap and Cotter Joint


It is generally used to connect rods of rectangular or square cross section. The end of one rod is forged
to form the fork or strap end as shown in figure 12.6, in which the end of other rod fits. A gib is a wedge
like element having projection at its ends called gib heads. It is used along with the cotter to prevent the
strap end from opening while the cotter is being driven in. Both the gib and cotter are tapered on the
inside age, while their outer sides are perpendicular to the axis of rod. To form the joint, the rod end is
placed in the fork end then gib is placed in position and the cotter is driven at last.

12.4 Knuckle Joints


Knuckle joint is a type of mechanical joint used in structures, to connect two intersecting cylindrical
rods, whose axes lie on the same plane. It permits some angular movement between the cylindrical
rods (in their plane). It is specially designed to withstand tensile loads. A knuckle joint may be readily
disconnected for adjustments or repairs.
240 Machine Drawing

Its use may be found in the link of a cycle chain, tie rod joint for roof truss, valve rod joint with
eccentric rod, pump rod joint, tension link in bridge structure and lever and rod connections of various
types.
In knuckle joint, one end of one of the rods is made into an eye and the end of the other rod is formed
into a fork with an eye in each of the fork leg. The knuckle pin passes through both the eye hole and the
fork holes and may be secured by means of a collar and taper pin or spilt pin as shown in figure 12.7
and 12.8. The knuckle pin may be prevented from rotating in the fork by means of a small stop, pin,

is accurately drilled and pin turned. The knuckle pin remains stationary. It does not rotate about its axis.
The material used for the joint may be steel or wrought iron.

Parts of Knuckle Joint:


A typical knuckle joint has the following parts:
1. Fork end 2. Eye end
3. Knuckle pin 4. Collar

Pulleys
13
13.1 INTRODUCTION
A pulley is a wheel on an axle or shaft that is designed to support movement and change of direction of a
cable or belt, or transfer of power between the shaft and cable or belt. In the case of a pulley supported by
a frame or shell which does not transfer power to a shaft, but is used to guide the cable or exert a force,
the supporting shell is called a block, and the pulley may be called a sheave. Pulleys are usually used in
sets designed to reduce the amount of force needed to lift a load.
Pulleys can be found in many different applications around us. Not only are they used for the obvious
lifting of objects, such as by cranes, but they are also used in modern automobiles and air planes. Pulleys
are also essential for most machines in some form or other.

13.2 History
As is the case with all the simple machines, the origin of the pulley is unknown. When early peoples
lifted heavy objects by throwing vines or other crude ropes over tree limbs, they used the idea of a single
fixed pulley to change the direction of a force. But since there was no wheel to turn, this use resulted in
considerable friction. It is believed that by 1500 B.C.E. people in Mesopotamia used rope pulleys for
hoisting water. It is not recorded when or by whom the pulley was first developed. It is believed however
that Archimedes developed the first documented block and tackle pulley system, as recorded by Plutarch.
Plutarch reported that Archimedes moved an entire warship, laden with men, using compound pulleys
and his own strength.

13.3 Types of Pulleys


Various types of pulleys are in use and designed for specific applications. However, the following types
of pulleys are extensively used.

13.3.1. Flat Belt Pulley


The flat Belt pulley is as shown in figure 13.1 where the rim of the pulley is generally crowned to
prevent the belt running off. The arms of the pulley are required to be stronger at the hub than the rim.

Generally, the V-Belt pulley is having three grooves as shown in figure 13.2. It is similar to flat belt
pulley except that the rim of V-belt pulley is provided with V grooves to accommodate the V belts. It is
used when large power is to be transmitted over a small distance.

Split pulleys are made in two halves. These two halves are joined together by nuts and bolts. The
line diagram of a split pulley is shown in figure 13.4. Pulleys are split into two halves only to make them
easily mounted in the assembly without removing other components.

13.3.5. Stepped or Cone Pulley


These pulleys are used when the velocity of the driven shaft needs to be changed frequently. It is
generally used in machine tools such as lathe, drilling machine. The velocity ratios in steps are obtained
just shifting the belt from one pulley to another. The line diagram of a step pulley is shown in figure
13.5 with three steps.

13.3.6. Fast and loose Pulley


It is a set of two pulleys mounted on the shaft as shown in figure 13.6. One pulley is rigidly fixed to
the shaft with the help of key known as fast pulley and the other is mounted on a brass or gun metal bush
and is free known as loose pulley. The collar screwed to the shaft prevents running away of loose pulley
from fast pulley. This type of arrangements is mounted on the driving shaft and is used to start or stop the

driven shaft whenever desired. Normally, the belt is running on the fast pulley and thus rotating the driven
shaft but whenever it is desired to stop the driven shaft, the belt is shifted to fast pulley to loose pulley.

13.3.7. Guide Pulleys


It is used when the belt transmits motion power to non-parallel shafts may be intersecting or non-
intersecting. The guide pulley helps in keeping the belt in plane which is shown in figure 13.7.

Jockey pulleys are also known as idler pulley since they do not take any part in the velocity ratio
between the driving shaft to driven shaft. These pulleys are mounted on the slack side of the belt and also
close to the smaller pulley as shown in the figure 13.8. It is generally used to increase the arc of contact
as the increase in arc of contact results the increase of transmission ratio.

13.4 Applications of Pulley


Pulleys have been used for lifting for thousands of years. The most prevalent and oldest example are their
uses on ships and boats. The block and tackle have been a key tool for raising sails and cargo. Pulleys
have been used also in modern times with various machines and systems. Even in the space age, pulleys
have been an important aspect for the construction and operations of spacecraft and aircraft. It is with a
pulley system that rudders for an aircraft are controlled. Pulleys are used in everyday life, from vehicles
to moving equipment such as cranes and different machine tools.

Shaft Couplings
14
14.1 INTRODUCTION
A coupling is a device used to connect two shafts together at their ends for the purpose of transmitting
power. It may be to connect two units such as a motor and a generator or it may be to form a long line
shaft by connecting shafts of standard lengths. Shafts are usually available up to 7 metres length due to
inconvenience in transport. In order to have a greater length, it becomes necessary to join two or more
pieces of the shaft by means of a coupling.
Couplings do not normally allow disconnection of shafts during operation, however there are torque
limiting couplings which can slip or disconnect when some torque limit is exceeded.
The primary purpose of couplings is to join two pieces of rotating equipment while permitting some
degree of misalignment or end movement or both. By careful selection, installation and maintenance of
couplings, substantial savings can be made in reduced maintenance costs and downtime.
Coupling may be rigid or they may provide flexibility and compensate for misalignment. They may
also reduce shock loading and vibration. A wide variety of commercial shaft couplings are available
ranging from a simple keyed coupling to one which requires a complex design procedure using gears
or fluid drives etc.
Shaft couplings are used in machinery for several purposes, the most common of which are the
following:
1. To provide for the connection of shafts of units that are manufactured separately such as a motor
and generator and to provide for disconnection for repairs or alternations.
2. To provide for misalignment of the shafts or to introduce mechanical flexibility.
3. To reduce the transmission of shock loads from one shaft to another.
4. To introduce protection against overloads.
5. It should have no projecting parts.

14.2 Types of Couplings


There are two main types of couplings: Rigid couplings and Flexible Couplings Rigid couplings are used
for shafts having no misalignment while the flexible couplings can absorb some amount of misalignment
in the shafts to be connected.
1. Rigid coupling. Since these couplings cannot absorb any misalignment the shafts to be connected
by a rigid coupling must have good lateral and angular alignment. Following are the types of rigid
couplings.
248
Shaft Couplings 249

(a) Sleeve or muff coupling.


(b) Clamp or split-muff or compression coupling, and
(c) Flange coupling.
2. Flexible coupling. It is used to connect two shafts having both lateral and angular misalignments.
Following are the types of flexible couplings.
(a) Bushed pin type coupling. (b) Universal coupling, and
(c) Oldham coupling

14.3 Rigid Couplings


14.3.1. Sleeve or Muff Coupling
Rigid Sleeve or Muff Couplings is the basic type of coupling made of cast iron. It consists of a hollow
cylinder whose inner diameter is the same as that of the shaft. It is further subdivided into
(1) Box or Muff Type coupling (2) Half lap Muff Type Coupling and
A. Box or Muff Type coupling: It is fitted over the ends of the two shafts by means of a gib head
key, as shown in Fig. 14.1. The shafts are inserted into the muff from opposite ends and key is
driven in the keyway between the muff and the shafts. The power is transmitted from one shaft
to the other shaft by means of a key and a sleeve.

each other as shown in Figure 14.2. The taper provided in the overlap prevents the axial separation of
shafts. A hollow saddle key is inserted to connect the shafts with muff.

C. Split Muff Coupling: In the muff coupling, axial movements of at least one of the shaft or muff is
necessary for the purpose of assembly. This particular problem is overcome in split type muff coupling.
The muff is made in two halves which are placed over the two shafts and then clamped together by means
of bolts and nuts. The number of bolts may be two, four or six. The nuts are recessed into the bodies of
the muff castings. This coupling may be used for heavy duty and moderate speeds.

14.3.2. Flange Coupling


The coupling basically consists of two flanged end pieces as shown in the figure 14.5 to 14.7. A
spigot and recess is provided in the flanges to provide location between them. The flanges are connected
firmly by means of fitted bolts which are tightened accordingly to the torque to be transmitted. This is a
most widely used coupling.

In flange coupling the bolts heads and nuts are open hence there is chances of catch clothes of workmen
working around and are liable to cause injury. In order to avoid such accidents each flange is provided
with a annular projection which shelters the bolt heads and nuts as shown in Figure 14.8.

14.4 Flexible Couplings


A flexible coupling is used to join the shafts when they are not in exact alignment. In the case of a direct
coupled drive from a prime mover to a machine tool, a flexible coupling is used so as to permit an axial
misalignment of the shaft without undue absorption of the power which the shaft is transmitting.
Following are the different types of flexible couplings:
Shaft Couplings 253

1. Bushed pin flexible coupling.


2. Universal coupling.
3. Oldham’s coupling
The function of flexible shaft couplings is:
(i) Connect and transmit power from a driving shaft to a driven shaft.
(ii) Protect system from vibration.
(iii) Manage to compensate for totally 4 shaft misalignments:
Angular
Offset
Combination (angular + offset)
Axial movement
These shaft deviations are unavoidable, since machines are unloaded during alignment.
During operation the resulting forces are causing the shafts to bend. Other causes can for instance be
thermal expansion, worn bearings, installation (human) errors.

14.4.1. Pin Bush flange coupling


Bush pin type flange coupling is used to connect of shafts which having a small parallel misalignment,
angular misalignment or axial misalignment. This is a modification of the protected type flange coupling
which has pins (covered by rubber or leather bushes) and it works with coupling bolts. Generally, it is
used to assemble electric motors and machines. A bushed-pin flexible coupling, as shown in figure 14.9
to figure 14.11, is a modification of the rigid type of flange coupling. The coupling bolts are known as
pins. The rubber or leather bushes are used over the pins. The two halves of the coupling are dissimilar
in construction. A clearance of 5 mm is left between the face of the two halves of the coupling. There
is no rigid connection between them and the drive takes place through the medium of the compressible
rubber or leather bushes.

14.5 Non-Aligned Couplings


The non-aligned couplings are used when the power is to be transmitted between two non-coaxial shafts.
There are majorly two types of non-aligned couplings
(a) Universal Coupling
(b) Oldham’s Coupling

14.5.1 Universal Coupling


A universal joint is a linkage consisting of two yokes or fork one on each shaft, connected by spider
or central block as shown in Figures 14.12 to 14.15. It is also known as Hook’s joint. It is used to connect
two shafts whose axes are intersecting. Two similar forks are keyed to the ends of two shafts, A central
bock in the form of cross is positioned between the forks with the help of two pins. The main advantages
of this coupling is that it permits variation in angle between the shafts even when they are in motion. It
is majorly used in automobiles.

14.5.2. Oldham’s Coupling


Oldham couplings is used to connect two shafts having their axes parallel but not in a straight line,
separated by small distance. It handles high degrees of parallel misalignment owing to their sliding element
design. Use of an elastomer center element instead of metal is popular in modern versions. It consists
Shaft Couplings 259

of three members, two flanges having a rectangular slot and central disc with rectangular projection on
either side at right angle to each other. The flanges are keyed one on each shaft and the circular disc is
placed between them as shown in Figures 14.16 and 14.17.
Oldham couplings have the following advantages:
(a) No velocity variation as with universal joints
(b) High lateral misalignments possible
(c) High torque capacity
(d) Ease of dismantling
Disadvantages:
(a) Limited angular displacement of shafts.
(b) Need for periodic lubrication due to relative sliding motion.
(c) Possible loss of loose members during disassembly.

14.6 Miscellaneous Couplings


Following are the miscellaneous couplings used in the industries.
14.6.1. Beam Coupling
The beam coupling consists of single or multiple helical cuts in the coupling body as shown in figures
14.20 and 14.21, which typically can accommodate parallel misalignments up to 0.6 mm and angular
misalignments up to 7 degrees. They are used primarily for motion control applications where torques are
typically below 11 N-m. Zero backlash designs available ensure positioning accuracy between driving
and driven shafts.

14.6.2. Bellows Coupling


Bellows couplings are also suited to motion control applications. They consist of multiple convolutions
of metal which provide high torsional stiffness which is important to positioning applications. Torsional
stiffness reduces the level of angular and parallel misalignment they can accommodate compared with
beam couplings, although torque transmission capabilities are about similar.

Shaft Couplings 263

Fig. 14.23. Two dimensional view of bellows coupling

14.6.3. Chain Coupling


Chain couplings are suited to power transmission applications and are used to transmit power up
into the hundreds of horsepower range. Angular and parallel misalignment allowances are typically 2
degrees and 0.38 mm, respectively. Typical chain couplings use special chain sprockets and double wide
roller chains whose clearances permit the design to operate as a flexible coupling.

Fig. 14.25. Two dimensional view of chain coupling


264 Machine Drawing

14.6.4. Jaw Coupling


Curved and Straight Jaw couplings are used for both motion control and light power transmission
applications and consist of pairs of multi-jawed hubs that mate with elastomeric spiders. The design allows
for backlash-free torque transmission. Accommodation for parallel misalignment usually approaches
0.254 mm and angular misalignment about 1 degree. Elastomeric spiders give these couplings some
damping capacity and of often the spiders are available in different durometers to lend specific properties
to the individual couplings. These couplings often operate without lubricant and can transmit torque up
into the 113 N-m.

14.6.5. Diaphragm Coupling


Diaphragm couplings are generally used for high power transmission such as found in turbomachinery.
Typically, they employ one or more flexible metal convoluted discs which transmit power to an inner
spacer shaft then back out through another diaphragm stack to the driven machinery. A principal advantage
over gear type couplings is their lack of lubrication requirements. Diaphragm couplings are capable of
high torque transmission and high speed operation.
Shaft Couplings 265

14.6.6. Gear Coupling


Gear couplings also transmit high torques. They have misalignment capabilities generally about 0.25
to 0.50 mm in parallel and 2 degrees in angular. Gear couplings are often used in pairs with spacer shafts
to span the distance between driving and driven equipment. They generally require lubricant although
some designs intended for lighter duty use lubricant free nylons or other polymers for the centre sleeve.

14.6.7. Elastomeric Coupling

Elastomeric couplings absorb all types of shock, vibration and misalignment. Sleeves have
an exceptional ability to absorb torsional shock and dampen torsional vibrations. Sleeves wind-up
approximately 15° torsional at their rated torque. Parallel misalignment is absorbed without wear or
appreciable energy losses. The lateral flexibility of the coupling sleeve minimizes radial bearing loads
normally associated with parallel misalignment. This feature also allows for easier installation by the use
of components bored for slip fits without fretting corrosion occurring at the shaft.

14.7 Applications of Couplings in Industries


Couplings are a pivotal part of any machinery. They form the backbone of the rotation mechanism of any
industrial or electrical machinery. Thus, they should be chosen with considerable thought and planning.
Different types of couplings are available for use, such as gear, muff, flange, elastomer, etc. Coupling
selection should be based on the particular amount of torque required, or the torque weight ratio. All
the types of couplings are used in various industries like textiles, beverages, dairies, semiconductor
production, aggregate production, food processing industry etc. It must be ensured that a proper coupling
is fitted into the machinery otherwise it may halt the production process. Some of the types of couplings
commonly used in the industries are:

Gear Coupling
One of the high-grade couplings, gear coupling is of tremendous use in textile machinery, centrifugal
pumps, shovels, draglines, air compressors, blowers and fans. The specific feature of this type of coupling
is that it provides a high torque weight ratio.

Muff Coupling
These kinds of couplings are for semi-elastic purposes. They come at a lower cost and are easy to
maintain. In combination with the Taper lock bush, they are easy to install. They come in sizes 7″-15″
with a maximum width of 24″. Features include:

Elastomer Couplings
These are extremely flexible couplings with major applications in all kinds of industries, especially
in areas of fluid technology. They are also known as spider couplings. Their high expansibility and
268 Machine Drawing

resilience offers easy solutions for installation in pumps, motors in beverage and textile industry or even
in water treatment plants.

Bellows Couplings
These consist of stainless steel bellows and various designs of hubs and provide exceptional torsional
stiffness. These are used to eliminate misalignment between shafts.

Pipe Joints and Fittings

15.1 INTRODUCTION
Piping systems are used to transport water from the sources of water supply to the points of distribution;
convey waste from residential and commercial buildings and other civic facilities to the treatment facility
or the point of discharge. Similarly, pipelines carry crude oil from oil wells to tank farms for storage
or to refineries for processing. The natural gas transportation and distribution lines convey natural gas
from the source and storage tank forms to points of utilization, such as power plants, industrial facilities,
and commercial and residential communities. In chemical plants, paper mills, food processing plants,
and other similar industrial establishments, the piping systems are utilized to carry liquids, chemicals,
mixtures, gases, vapors, and solids from one location to another. The piping systems in thermal power
plants convey high-pressure and high-temperature steam to generate electricity. In short, the piping systems
are an essential and integral part of our modern civilization. It is evident that pipe is one element or a part
of piping. Therefore, pipe sections when joined with fittings, valves, and other mechanical equipment
and properly supported by hangers and supports, are called piping.

15.2 PIPE JOINTS


Pipes are commonly joined by welding, by using pipe threads, or by using a mechanical coupling. Process
piping is usually joined by welding using a TIG or MIG process. The most common process pipe joint
is the butt weld. Another form of jointing for heavy wall pipe is threading of which the most common
form some of the common pipe joints are:
(a) Flanged Joint (b) Socket and spigot Joint
(c) Hydraulic Joint (d) Union Joint
(e) Nipple (f) Socket Joint

15.2.1 Flanged Joint


Flanged joints are basically used to connect large diameter pipes. The cast iron pipes are generally
cast integrally with the pipes and their faces are machined as shown in figure 15.1 while the mild steel,
wrought iron and plastic pipes are screwed on the pipe ends. The flanges are joined together by means
of bolts. To make the joint leak-proof a packing ring or gasket of soft material coated with lead is placed
between the flanges as shown in figure 15.2.

15.2.2. Socket and Spigot Joint


In socket and spigot joint the end of one pipe is formed onto a socket and the other pipe is made into a
spigot as shown in figure 15.3. For the connection of pipe, the spigot is placed in the socket position then
remaining space between them is filled by jute yarn and molten lead. It is generally used for connecting

underground pipelines of large diameter pipes. As the joint permits the flexibility hence it adapts a small
change in the level due to earth settlement.

15.2.3. Hydraulic Joint


A hydraulic joint as shown in figure 15.4 is used where the fluids under pressure are to be conveyed.
Flanges for this joint are in oval shape and are cast integrally with pipe ends. A small circular spigot is
formed at the center of one flange which fits into socket in the other flange. A packing ring is inserted to
make the joint leak proof and the flanges are joined by means of bolts and nuts.

The union joint is generally used for the small diameter pipes and where it requires frequent assembly
and disassembly of the joint. The pipe ends are threaded at their ends and a nut (A) as shown in figure 15.5
having external and internal threads is screwed on one pipe and other nut (B) having circular projection
at its one end is screwed on the other pipe. Both the nuts are drawn together by a coupler nut (C). A
packing ring is inserted between the two pipes to seal the joint more effectively.

15.3 PIPE FITTINGS


Various types of pipe fittings are available in plumbing systems for different purposes and functions. A
pipe fitting is used in plumbing system to join multiple pipes of same size or different sizes, to regulate
the flow or to measure the flow. They are made up of different materials like copper, iron, brass, PVC
etc. Figures 15.8 to 15.13 shows the different pipe fittings.

15.5 DESIGNATION FOR PIPE


“Iron Pipe Size” (IPS) system was established to designate the pipe size. The size represented the
approximate inside diameter of the pipe in inches. An IPS 6” pipe is one whose inside diameter is
approximately 6 inches. Users started to call the pipe as 2inch, 4inch, 6inch pipe and so on. To begin,
each pipe size was produced to have one thickness, which later was termed as standard (STD) or standard
weight (STD.WT.). The outside diameter of the pipe was standardized.
As the industrial requirements handling higher pressure fluids, pipes were manufactured with thicker walls,
which has become known as an extra strong (XS) or extra heavy (XH). The higher pressure requirements
increased further, with thicker wall pipes. Accordingly, pipes were made with double extra strong (XXS)
or double extra heavy (XXH) walls, while the standardized outside diameters are unchanged.
The American National Standards Institute (ANSI), American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM)
and American Petroleum Institute (API) designation for piping is given in Table 15.2.

Sectional Views
16
16.1 INTRODUCTION
A sectional view is obtained making an imaginary cut through the part, and by drawing the features
on the cut surface, as shown in Figure 16.1. In a drawing, the exposed or cut surfaces are identified by
section lining, or crosshatching. Section views show internal part detail as solid lines instead of hidden
lines, which improve communication. Hidden lines and details behind the cutting-plane line are usually
omitted unless they are required for clarity. A sectional view can sometimes replace one of the regular
views, for example, a regular front view as shown in Figure 16.2.

16.1.1. Hatching Lines


Hatching lines are drawn on the sectional portion to make sections visible. Hatching lines are thin
lines drawn at an angle of 45° to the axis as shown in figure 16.3. The hatching of adjacent components
should be carried out in different directions. In the case of more than two adjacent components hatching
lines to be drawn in different directions and the spacing of hatching lines is varied as shown in figure 16.4.
When section of same part in parallel plane are shown side by side the hatching lines should be
similarly spaced but offset along the dividing line between the section as shown in figure 16.5. The
spacing between the hatching lines should be uniform and should be chosen in proportion to the size of
the section. Thin sections may be shown entirely black as shown in figure 16.6. in the parts like shafts,
ribs, bolts, nuts, studs, spoke of pulley, spoke of wheel, keys, pins etc. should be shown in longitudinal
section which means when the cutting plane passes in such a way as to contain their axes. These should

16.2 CUTTING PLANE LINE


A cutting-plane line indicates where the imaginary cutting takes place. The position of the cutting plane
is indicated, when necessary, on a view of the object or assembly by a cutting plane line, as shown in
Figure 16.10. The ends of the cutting-plane line are bent at 90 degrees and terminated by arrowheads to
indicate the direction of sight for viewing the section. Cutting planes are not shown on sectional views.
The cutting-plane line may be omitted when it corresponds to the centre line of the part or when only
one sectional view appears on a drawing.

For all drawings

Fig. 16.10. Section drawing

If two or more sections appear on the same drawing, the cutting-plane lines are identified by two
identical large, single-stroke, Gothic letters. One letter is placed at each end of the line. Sectional view
subtitles are given when identification letters are used and appear directly below the view, incorporating
the letters at each end of the cutting-plane line, like: SECTION A-A or, SECT A-A.

16.3 SECTION LINING


Section lining indicates the surface that has been cut and makes it stand out clearly. Because the exact
material specifications for a part are usually given elsewhere, the general use section lining (i.e., the
45-degree solid parallel lines) is recommended for general use. When it is desirable to indicate differences
in materials, other symbolic section lines are used, such as those shown in Figure 16.11. If the part shape
would cause section lines to be parallel or nearly parallel to one of the sides or features of the part, an
angle other than 45 degrees can be chosen.
Wood and concrete are the only two materials usually shown symbolically. When wood symbols are
used, the direction of the grain is shown.

16.4 TYPES OF CUTTING PLANE SECTIONS


Cutting planes are used to create section views and reveal hidden details in a mechanical drawing.
These views assume that a cutting plane has removed portions of the object represented by the drawing,
displaying the appropriate section of the interior. Sectional views are used in engineering and architectural
drawings. They help mechanical, civil engineers, architects and designers to communicate their ideas to
their peers. The different types of cutting plane sections are discussed below.
16.4.1. Section in One Plane
The section in one plane example is shown in figure 16.12 as the section xx is sufficient to show
the details of the part.

16.4.2. Section in Two Parallel Planes


Sometimes one section plane is not sufficient to show the details of the component, in such cases
two section planes are used as shown in figure 16.13.

16.4.3. Section in Three Continuous Planes


There are certain parts to be section in the continuous section to observe the details, one of the
example is shown in figure 16.14.

Fig 16.14. Section in three planes


16.4.4. Full Section
When the cutting plane extends entirely through the object in a straight line and the front half of the
object is theoretically removed, a full section is obtained, Figure 16.15. This type of section is used for
both detail and assembly drawings. When the cutting plane divides the object into two identical parts,
it is not necessary to indicate its location. However, the cutting plane may be identified and indicated in
the usual manner to increase clarity.

can be confusing because one thinks of showing half the part. Remember, a half section shows one-
Sectional Views 285

fourth of the part, not one half. This type of section is used mostly for assembly drawings where internal
and external features are clearly shown and only overall and centre-to-centre dimensions are required.

16.4.6. Offset Section


In order to include features that are not in a straight line, the cutting-plane line may be offset or bent,
so as to include several planes or curved surfaces as shown in figure 16.17. An offset section is similar
to a full section in that the cutting plane extends through the object from one side to the other.

Fig. 16.17. Offset section

16.5 ADDITIONAL SECTION VIEWS


In addition to above sections there are other types of section views are used in the mechanical engineering
drawing for observing the details of hidden parts of the component in the assembly of machine or
equipment. The other additional sections are:

(a) Broken-out Section (b) Aligned Section


(c) Revolved Sections (d) Removed Section
(e) Web in section (f) Pulley in section
(a) Broken-out Section. When certain internal and external features of an object can be shown without
drawing another view, broken-out and partial sections are used as shown in figure 16.18. A cutting-plane
line or a break line is used to indicate where the section is taken. The break line is normally a jagged
line, which better indicates the break. Broken-out sections save drawing time and drawing space. Most
CAD systems have a freehand sketching tool to create the break line.

Fig. 16.18. Broken-out section

(b) Aligned Section. Aligned section is not a true projection of the cut surface. It is often used when
a part contains webs, ribs, spokes, or similar features. It revolves or aligns special part features to clarify
them or make them easier to represent in section. One can conceptually think about an aligned section
as a specialized offset section as shown in figure 16.19. The cutting plane can be bent to pass through all
of the nonaligned features in the un-sectioned view.

(c) Revolved Sections. A revolved section is made by revolving the cross-section view 90 degrees
about an axis of revolution and superimposing the section view on the orthographic view. Visible lines
adjacent to the revolved view can be either drawn or broken out using conventional breaks, as shown in
figure 16.20. When the revolved view is superimposed on the part, the original lines of the part behind the
Sectional Views 287

section are deleted. The cross section is drawn true shape and size, not distorted to fit the view. The axis
of revolution is shown on the revolved view as a centre line. Revolved sections are useful for describing
a cross section without having to draw another view. In addition, these sections are especially helpful
when a cross section varies or the shape of the part is not apparent from the given orthographic views.

(d) Removed Sections. A removed section differs from the revolved section in that the section is
removed to an open area on the drawing instead of being drawn directly on the view. Removed sections
are used when there is not enough room on the orthographic view for a revolved section. Removed
sections are used to show the contours of complicated shapes such as blades for jet engines or power
plant turbines, and other parts that have continuously varying shapes. Frequently, the removed section is
drawn to an enlarged scale for clarification and easier dimensioning as shown in figure 16.21.

16.6 THREADED PARTS


The conventional representation of internal and external threads along with the threads in section is as
shown in figure 16.24 and 16.25. For the threaded parts in section, hatching lines should be extended up
to the minor diameter for internal threads and up to the major diameter for external threads as shown in
figure 16.24 and 16.25.

16.7 CONVENTIONAL BREAKS


In the case of long components or parts with uniform cross section like shaft, pipe, rectangular, T and I
sections which occurs more space unnecessarily, hence a conventional break as shown in figure 16.26 is
Sectional Views 289

used rather than to be drawn of full length. The member is braked length wise and its ends are brought
nearer as shown in the figure and its true length is given by putting the dimensions.

Assembly and Details


17
`17.1 INTRODUCTION
An Assembly and details of the drawing shows the intended assembly of mechanical or other parts. It
shows all parts of the assembly and how they fit together. In mechanical systems usually the component
closest to the centre are assembled first, or is the main part in which the other parts get assembled. This
drawing can also help to represent the disassembly of parts, where the parts on the outside normally get
removed first.
An assembly drawing is a drawing of an entire machine or system with all of its components located
and identified. We need to know how to put the machine together.
Detail Drawing are the drawing of each of the small components separately of a machine assembly or
a working unit. Details are prepared in orthographic projections. Each component is shown by minimum
two views.

17.2 DETAILS DRAWINGS


Following points should be considered while preparing the detail drawings,
1. Proper scale should be used for the drawing.
2. Components should be drawn in their working position.
3. Minimum two views should be drawn and whenever two views are not sufficient to describe the
object, three or more views should be shown.
4. For better understanding one or more views should be shown as sectional views.
5. In the case of sectional view, dotted lines should be shown in the outside view.
6. Details should be mention on the detail drawing as per the dimensions, material, tolerance, finishing
process etc.
7. Name, material and number of pieces required per unit should be written below the views of the
component.
8. Standard parts should be shown in section.
9. Required notes such as fillet radius, machine all over etc. should be written on drawing whenever
required.
290
Assembly and Details 291

17.3 ASSEMBLY DRAWINGS


The assembly drawing show the relative positions of various parts grouped together in such a way that
as a whole they perform some function. Following points should be considered while preparing the
assembly drawings.
1. Choose a proper scale so as to view the drawing on the drawing sheet.
2. Two views of assembly should be drawn and when it requires more clarification then more views
should be drawn.
3. In case of symmetrical view, half views may be drawn if space is a constraint.
4. In order to observe the internal features, one or more views should be drawn in section.
5. In order to avoid the confusion on dotted line when crowding of dotted lines occurs, only few dotted
lines should be shown.
6. External threaded parts are always shown covering internally threaded parts and are not hidden by
them.
7. Overall dimensions should be shown in the assembly drawing.
8. Part list should be prepared by the serial numbers of the parts.
9. Tittle of the assembly drawing is to be written below the views.
Procedure to draw assembly drawing:
1. Study and visualize the various parts for their function, shape and size.
2. Study the relative position of parts is to be decided.
3. For sectional front view, imagine the sectional front view of all the parts.
4. Redraw the front views of all the parts in proper position and omit the overlapping or hidden lines.
5. For side view, redraw the side views of all the parts in their proper position.
6. Dark or visible lines should be decided by starting the drawing with the nearest surface and ending
with the farthest surface.

17.4 ENGINE PARTS

17.4.1 Cross Head


A crosshead is a mechanism used in long reciprocating engines and reciprocating compressors to
eliminate sideways pressure on the piston. Also, the crosshead enables the connecting rod to freely move
outside the cylinder. Because of the very small bore-to-stroke ratio on such engines, the connecting rod
would hit the cylinder walls and block the engine from rotating if the piston was attached directly to the
connecting rod like on trunk engines. Therefore, the longitudinal dimension of the crosshead must be
matched to the stroke of the engine.
Problem 1. The details of cross head are shown in Fig. 17.1. Draw the half sectional front and side view
of the assembly. Also prepared the bill of material.
Solution:
Following steps should be followed for drawing the assembly of cross head after the careful study
and visualisation of the parts for their shapes and sizes.

17.5 BEARINGS
A bearing is a machine element that constrains relative motion to only the desired motion, and reduces
friction between moving parts. The design of the bearing may prevent a motion by controlling the normal
forces that bear on the moving parts. Most bearings facilitate the desired motion by minimizing friction.
Bearings are classified broadly according to the type of operation, the motions allowed, or to the directions
of the loads (forces) applied to the parts.

17.6 VALVES
A valve is a device that regulates, directs or controls the flow of a fluid like gases, liquids, fluidized
solids, or slurries by opening, closing, or partially obstructing various passageways. In an open valve,
fluid flows in a direction from higher pressure to lower pressure. Modern control valves may regulate
pressure or flow downstream and operate on sophisticated automation systems. Valves have many uses,
including controlling water for irrigation, industrial uses for controlling processes, residential uses such
as on/off and pressure control to dish and clothes washers and taps in the home. Valves are also used in
the military and transport sectors.

17.7 EXPANSION JOINT


An expansion joint or movement joint is an assembly designed to safely absorb the heat induced expansion
and contraction of construction materials, to absorb vibration, to hold parts together, or to allow movement
due to ground settlement or earthquakes. They are commonly found between sections of piping systems,
building, bridges, side walk, railway tracks, ships, and other structures. Pipelines expand and contract
due to warming and cooling from seasonal variation, or due to other heat sources. Before expansion joint
gaps were built into these structures, they would crack under the stress induced.

17.7.1 Expansion Joint


Problem 13. The Fig. 17.41 shows details of Expansion Joint. Draw the assembly. Also prepared the

A jackscrew is a type of jack that is operated by turning a lead screw. In the form of a screw jack it is
commonly used to lift moderately heavy weights, such as vehicles. More commonly it is used as an
adjustable support for heavy loads, such as the foundations of houses, or large vehicles. These can
support a heavy load.

17.9 CRANE HOOK


A Crane hook is a device for grabbing and lifting loads by means of a hoist. A crane hook is usually
equipped with a safety latch to prevent the disengagement of the lifting wire rope sling, chain or rope to
which the load is attached. A hook may have one or more built-in pulley sheaves as a block and tackle
to multiply the lifting force.

17.10 MACHINE TOOLS PARTS


A machine tool is a machine for shaping or machining metal or other rigid materials, usually by cutting,
boring, grinding, shearing, or other forms of deformation. Machine tools employ some sort of tool that
does the cutting or shaping. All machine tools have some means of constraining the work piece and
provide a guided movement of the parts of the machine. Thus the relative movement between the work
piece and the cutting tool is controlled or constrained by the machine to at least some extent, rather than
being entirely “offhand” or “free hand”. Today machine tools are typically powered other than by human
muscle (e.g., electrically, hydraulically, or via line shaft), used to make manufactured parts (components)
in various ways that include cutting or certain other kinds of deformation.

17.11 Jigs and Fixtures


Some machining operation are so simple and are done quite easily, such as turning, the job is held in
position in the chuck and turning operation is done easily. No other device is required to hold the job or
to guide the tool on the machine in such an operation. But some operations are such type in which the
tool is required to be guided by means of another device and also some jobs are of such forms which
are required to be held in position on the machine by means of another device. The device which guides
the tool is called jig and the device which holds the job in position is called fixture. Jigs and fixtures are
special purpose tool which are used to facilitate in production and inspection operations. When work piece
is based on the concept of interchangeability according to which every part will be produced within an
established tolerance. Jigs and fixtures provide on means of manufacturing interchangeable parts since
they establish a relation with predetermined to tolerance between the work and cutting tool. They eliminate
the necessity of a special set up for each individual park. Hence, jig is may be defined as a device which
hold and position the work and locate or guides the tool relative to the work piece and usually not fixed
to the m/c table. A fixture is a work holding device and position the work but does not guide and locate
or position the cutting tool. A fixture is hold or clamped to the machine table.

Free Hand Sketches


18
18.1 INTRODUCTION
Freehand sketching is important for the initial transfer of an idea from the engineer abstract world.
Sketching is used so as to be able to quickly present in a graphical form, an idea that is related to a
particular problem. Sketching significantly improves the communications between the members of a
team, the drafter and the customer. A sketch is usually freehand, without any assistance or the use of
instruments or aids that are otherwise used for technical drawing. Sketches can also be an integral part of
analytical computations, where they are used to present and define the characteristic parameters of analysed
physical objects. Sketches are used to present the outside appearance of an object, with a little emphasis
on concealed surfaces and features, which are included in the sketch in order to make the presentation as
clear as possible. Sketches are direct graphical communications, often drawn in changeable conditions,
such as at a building site, in a workshop or at a business meeting.

18.2 IMPORTANCE OF FREE HAND SKETCHES


An integral part of the creative design process is ideation, the generation of concepts or ideas to solve a
design problem. Often freehand sketching can be used to explore and communicate mental concepts that
come about in the mind eye. The process of sketching can solidify and fill out rough concepts. Furthermore,
sketching captures the ideas in a permanent form that can be used to communicate the concept to others.
In this way, sketches often act as stepping stones to refine and detail the original concept or generate new
ideas. Many great design ideas are first sketched on the back of an envelope or in a lab notebook. While
computers are the workhorses for engineering graphics, initially generating ideas on a computer screen is
very rare. A more common scenario is sketching an idea on paper and subsequently refining the concept
on paper using more rough sketches. This often occurs simply because all that is needed for a freehand
sketch is a pencil and a paper. Freehand sketching quickly translates the image of the concept in the mind
eye to paper. Engineers often communicate via rough freehand sketches to refine and improve the design.
Sketches are much more useful than detailed CAD drawings early in the design process, because they are
informal, quickly and easily changed, and less restrictive. It is only after clarifying the design concept by
iterating through several freehand sketches that it is possible to draw the object using computer graphics.

18.3 FREEHAND SKETCHING FUNDAMENTALS


Freehand sketching requires few tools: just a pencil and paper. It may be tempting to use straight-edged
triangles or rulers for drawing straight lines and a compass to draw circles. But these instruments often
395
396 Machine Drawing

slow down the process and distract from the purpose of sketching, which is to create a quick, rough
graphical representation of the image in the mind eye. Generally sketching has three steps, although the
steps are usually subconscious. First, the sketch is planned by visualizing it in the mind including the
size of the sketch on the paper, the orientation of the object, and the amount of detail to be included in
the sketch. Second, the sketch is outlined using very light lines to establish the orientation, proportion,
and major features of the sketch. Finally, sharpening and darkening object lines and adding details
develops the sketch. All sketches are made up of a series of arcs and lines, so the ability to draw circles
and straight lines is necessary

18.4 FREEHAND SKETCH LINES AND CIRCLES


All sketches are made up of a series of arcs and lines, so the ability to draw circles and straight lines is
necessary. A straight line is sketched in the following way.
First, sketch the endpoints of the line as dots or small crosses. Then place your pencil on the starting
endpoint. Keeping your eyes on the terminal point, use a smooth continuous stroke to draw the line
between the points as shown in figure 18.1. Nearly horizontal or vertical lines are frequently easier to
draw than inclined lines, so it may be helpful to shift the paper to draw the line horizontally or vertically.
For long lines, it may be helpful to mark two or three points along the line and use the procedure between
consecutive points or to make two or three shorter passes lightly with the pencil before a final darker line.

Starting Keep eye on


endpoint Motion of terminal endpoint
pencil

Fig. 18.1. Drawing the line between the points

A circle can be sketched using the following steps,


First, draw light horizontal and vertical lines crossing at the centre of the circle. Second, lightly mark
the radius of the circle on each line. Finally, connect the radius marks with a curved line to form a circle.
Another technique is to lightly draw a square box the same size as the circle diameter as shown in figure
18.2. Then lightly draw diagonals of the box and centre lines between midpoints of the sides of the box.
The diagonals and centre lines should intersect at the centre of the circle. Mark the radius on these lines,
and sketch the circle within the box. It is sometimes helpful to mark the radius on the edge of a scrap
paper and mark the radius at as many points as desired in addition to the marks on the centre lines and
diagonals. Arcs are sketched in much the same way as circles, except that only a portion of the circle is
sketched. It is generally easier to sketch an arc with your hand and pencil on the concave side of the arc.

18.5 CAD AND TECHNICAL FREEHAND DRAWING


Computer modelling (using CAD software) is possible if all the dimensions and features of a structure are
defined at the input. Incomplete data do not allow a presentation; the object is recorded neither in RAM
(on the screen) nor in the archives (file in data storage). This means that before modelling on the computer
it is vital to acquire all the data as a free record, a sketch. Due to the volume of data, their structure is
generally presented on a handy piece of paper. Generating a random model is conceptualized with a specific
generic model, which the modelling software uses in its own way. For simple or less complex models or
features, different types of software usually have similar shape generators. For the reasons of continuous
data input, or at least to prevent lengthy breaks, you can take advantage of a rough presentation on a
sketch that was done previously on paper. Later on, when the model is becoming increasingly complex,
you should make a temporary copy of the model or detail on paper, which is then complemented with
sketches that have improved details, which are necessary for the high-quality processing of a problem.
Understanding data processing in freehand drawing can define the trends in the future development
of computer modelling. Generally used modelling software (CAD programmes) still has difficulties with
special shapes in terms of a computer description of specific technical products. For such products and
for specific shapes, such as car tyres, steel structures (bars, framework structures, etc.), unfolded sheet
metal, molecular structures etc., special modelling software is often developed. To present details, cross-
sections, connecting systems, etc., specific routines are applied for each of those examples.
In terms of future modelling software development, we can expect the increasing use of natural
communications, typical of human beings, such as: sketching, hands and fingers in space; eyesight, eye-
pupil movement and image sharpening; hearing, communication for the simulation of sound phenomena;
speech, voice commands for the computer; smell, recognizing the results of simulated processes.

18.6 FREEHAND SKETCHES OF BEARINGS

18.6.1 Solid Journal Bearing


It is simplest type of bearing made of cast iron. It is used for light load and slow speed. A cylindrical
block is extended at the base to form as a rectangle base plate which is known as sole. A hole equal to
the diameter of shaft is drilled through the cylindrical block, so that shaft can be inserted in the hole. A
small oil hole is provided top of cylinder to reduce friction between shaft and bearing. The entire bearing
is replaced when the wear in the bearing is maximum which is one of the disadvantage of bearing.
Three dimensional view of the bearing is as shown in Figure 18.3 and its two views is shown in
Figure 18.4.

It is a modified form of solid journal bearing. A hollow bush of soft material as compared to cast iron
such as gun metal is provided in the hole of bearing. Bush is press fit inside the hole of bearing. A grub
screw prevents the rotation of bush. It is having an advantage over the solid journal bearing to replace
the bush rather than replacing the whole bearing as in the case of solid journal bearing.

18.6.3 Ball Bearing


It is a type of rolling element bearing that uses balls to maintain the separation between the bearing
races. The purpose of a ball bearing is to reduce rotational friction and support radial and axial loads. It
achieves this by using at least three races to contain the balls and transmit the loads through the balls.
In most applications, one race is stationary and the other is attached to the rotating assembly (e.g., a hub
or shaft). As one of the bearing races rotates it causes the balls to rotate as well. Because the balls are
400 Machine Drawing

rolling they have a much lower coefficient of friction than if two flat surfaces were sliding against each
other. Ball bearings tend to have lower load capacity for their size than other kinds of rolling-element
bearings due to the smaller contact area between the balls and races. However, they can tolerate some
misalignment of the inner and outer races.
Three dimensional view of ball bearing is as shown in figure 18.7 and its two views is shown in
Figure 18.8.

18.7 FREEHAND SKETCHES OF PULLEYS


Pulleys are used to transmit the power from one shaft to another with help of belt or rope. The function of
a pulley is to lift heavy objects by changing the direction of the force on a flexible cable. It also consists
a wheel with a groove in its outer edge and an axle. With the help of ropes, chains or cords, a pulley
makes moving objects upward easier. Pulley reduces the force given to get the work done. Pulley also
functions to mainly distribute the weight evenly which sort of makes the elevator lighter. The pulley
serves in many different industries for lifting loads, applying forces or transmitting power.

18.7.1 Belt Pulley


Belt pulley is made of cast iron and the rim of the pulley made crowned to prevent the belt slip from
the pulley. A solid web of elliptical cross section may be curved or straight is used to connect outer rim
with the boss.
Three-dimension view of flat belt pulley is as shown in figure 18.10 and two views of flat belt pulley
are shown in Figure 18.11.

18.7.4 Fast and Loose Pulley


When a number of machines are operated from a single power source, each machine is provided with
a fast and loose pulley arrangement. With this arrangement, any machine may be started or stopped at will,
while the lay shaft is running continuously. In this, the fast pulley is mounted on the shaft with a keyed
joint, whereas the loose pulley runs freely on the shaft. The diameter of the loose pulley is slightly less
than that of the fast pulley so that when the belt is shifted on to the loose pulley, its tension is reduced.
Power is transmitted only when the belt is on the fast pulley. Loose pulley takes care of the idling time
of the machine and does not transmit any power.
Three-dimension view of Fast and Loose pulley is as shown in figure 18.16 and two views of pulley
are shown in Figure 18.17.

18.7.5 Stepped or Cone Pulley


A stepped or cone pulley drive is used for changing the speed of the driven shaft while the main or
driving shaft runs at constant speed. This is accomplished by shifting the belt from one part of the steps
to the other. The pulley is having three or four steps of different diameter.
Three-dimension view of Stepped pulley is as shown in Figure 18.18 and two views of pulley are
shown in Figure 18.19.

18.8 FREEHAND SKETCH OF ARBOR


Arbor milling is a cutting process which removes material via a multi-toothed cutter. An arbor mill is a
type of milling machine characterized by its ability to rapidly remove material from a variety of materials.
This milling process is not only rapid but also versatile. Milling machine arbors are made in various
lengths and in standard diameters of 7/8,1,1 and 1/4, and 1 and 1/2 inch. The shank is made to fit the
taper hole in the spindle while the other end is threaded.

18.8.1 Arbor
Belt pulley is made of cast iron and the rim of the pulley made crowned to prevent the belt slip from
the pulley. A solid web of elliptical cross section may be curved or straight is used to connect outer rim
with the boss.
Three-dimension view of Arbor is as shown in figure 18.20 and its front view is as shown in Figure
18.21.
