Assembly drawings

What is covered?
In this module, ou will be learning about how to to correctly
2ssemble the components given in detail drawings and draw the
primary iews of the assembly according to scale in first- and
thind-angie orthographic projection.
You need some knowledge of nuts, bolts, shafts, rivets,
bearings, studs, keys and key ways; exceptions to hatching:
understanding 3D objects and orthographic projections.

Learning outcomes

After studying this module you should be able to:

Draw the parts lists
indicate the item numbers on the components using the
balloons
Drawthe sectional views as well as outside views of the
complete assembly drawingthat consist of at most 10 items
(NB: Nuts won't necessarily be shown on the diagram sheet
but willbe referred to in the parts list)
Draw conventional representation of drilled and tapped holes,
threaded holes, bolts, nuts and studs. A nut stencil may be
used but students must be able to construct the bolt heads and
nuts.

You must first visualise the object by forming a picture of drawing, as that is
picturecan only be developed if you have knowledge of NI, N2 and N3
where you gained and practised your drawing skills.
You then have to read and understand the question. If the question says draw a full
sectional front view of the drawing of the assembly, then you must start by drawing the
front view of item land section it. When drawing this front view, it must be positioned in
the centre of the page. This allows you tobe able to fit the other components where they
belong into item 1. Then each component that is joined in item 1needs to be sectioned
differently from item 1. You need to continue like this until the whole component is
completed.
It is important to include item numbers and parts lists as part of the drawing. Marks will
be awarded if they are drawn, as they will be needed.

5.2 Item numbers

You must use a 0.3 HBpencil to draw item numbers and a bow compass to draw the
circles that are used to indicate the number of the item, those circles are called balloons.
Thediameter of the circle must be 10 mm and text inside the circle must be 5 mm. This is
important for the neatness, layout and the general impression of your drawing,.
When indicating the component in the assembly with item numbers outside the
drawing. you must use the dimension arrow head. Inside the drawing, use ashaded small
dot. If youare given, for example, 10 items in the drawing, you must distribute them equally
in the assembly drawing. Each side must have 5 and they must be positioned at an angle
and
positioned at a distance from the drawing by approximately 20 mm to 30 mm. Figure 5.1
indicates how to draw item numbers in an assembly drawing.
