    ASME B18.3 & ASME B18.2.8 clearance hole fits

    Does anybody know how the recommended holes sizes for screws were established in the ASME B18.3-1986 & B18.2.8 tables? For example, the following recommendations are given for a 1/4-20 screw. ASME B18.3 - Close Fit .266" (17/64 drill) ASME B18.3 - Normal Fit .281" (9/32 drill) ASME B18.2.8...

    Two separate 4 hole bolt patterns, same angles, different diameter.

    Thanks for the replies. ewh that is what I thought of doing, but wasn't sure how. Do you have example that you could share? I reviewed a video I saw earlier in week. If you watch at this specific point https://youtu.be/f4A2BGX9HLw?t=299 the narrator explains that by placing a datum symbol on...

    Two separate 4 hole bolt patterns, same angles, different diameter.

    I have two 4 hole circular bolt patterns, the holes are on same angles 90 deg apart. I set first pattern relative to part A(face), B(bore) and C. I want the second bolt pattern position so that the angle is aligned to that of the first pattern. I suppose I could pick one of the holes, make datum...

    Circular thru bolt pattern, set position of coincident reliefs opposite side of part

    I have a 4 hole bolt pattern, 90 deg apart. I know how to set position these holes realative to datums A, B and C. The problem I am not sure about is how to set position on bolt releiefs (in side wall) that need to be concentric to these holes on opposite side of part. Do i need to create datum...

    UL674 specification for an NPT threaded hole for conduit

    Compositepro, The ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 indicates that NPT threads are tapered .75 in/ft in 3.1.5. ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 specifies that the L-1 gauge should stay within +/-1 turn. Since the threaded hole is tapered, +3-1/2 turn would mean the hole is oversized, a positive value indicates the gauge went...

    UL674 specification for an NPT threaded hole for conduit

    Hello, I am little confused by a note in the UL674 "Electric Motors and Generators for use in Division 1 Hazardous Locations" standard. It is under the section "Connections for conduit". The specific section is detailing the requirements for a threaded conduit entry into an electric motor...

    Mechanical ANSI RC/LC/LT/LN/FN fit helper tool?

    Hello, I was wondering if anyone has come across a tool that would help you distinguish mechanical fits(ref. http://www.me.rochester.edu/courses/ME104Q.dque/PDF/Fits.pdf). I am thinking is it would be as simple as a 1" diameter x 2" tall dowel pin with a 2" thick rectangular plate that had...

    Distance from the outer diameter of a shaft to the flat?

    electricpete, Right, the "S"=FLAT is the case I am referring to. In those cases, for a 3/8 or 1/2 shaft diameter, what is the "R" dimension called? Thanks, -ren

    Distance from the outer diameter of a shaft to the flat?

    Guys, Thanks for the replies. In this particular case I am asking about a dimension to a flat on a 3/8 shaft diameter. I should not have appended the picture with a keyway, it made the question a little bit confusing(see how it notes "FLAT" for dimension "S" on the drawing, that is the case to...

    Distance from the outer diameter of a shaft to the flat?

    Hello, What is the correct terminology for the distance from the outer diameter of a shaft to the flat? Dimension "R" on the attached sheet. I believe it is flat height, but I am not sure. Thanks, -ren

    Do standard keyway width tolerances account for offset error from the center of the shaft?

    Hello, I have a question about keyway tolerances as specified by ANSI B17.1-1967 (R1998). For a 1/8" square key, for a class 1 fit, the width and height need to be .125 +.000/-.002. The key seat dimensions need to be .125+.002/-.000. That would give you a line fit in the worst case, but this...

    Setup right mouse button for object snap?

    Hello, I have used this setup ever since I started working back in Autocad 2003. Basically, you setup your right mouse button to bring up the object snap menu. It is awesome and I am suprised these cad packages do not set this up as the default. So, now I am working with Draftsight, but I am...

    Hex Cap Screws - What is the intent of the bearing surface?

    John, Thanks for the response. Yes, that makes sense. You would want a tightly tolerance surface to ensure consistent torque values. I still wonder why the height offset .015" to .025" is needed for this surface, why not tightly tolerance the head? Thanks, -ren

    Hex Cap Screws - What is the intent of the bearing surface?

    Hello, I have been investigating the differences between a hex bolt and hex cap screw. The hex cap screw has a round bearing surface underneath the head. The height of this bearing surface is .015" to .025" from the bottom of the head. The circular runout this surface needs to be within a...

    ASTM B633 vs. F1941 - Correlate salt spray life

    CoryPad, Thanks for the response. Why wouldn't it be 5B? I believe B633 states 12 hrs before first sign of corrosion. Thanks, -ren

    Solidworks - Grab color from image?

    Hello, I am using 2007. Is there a way to grab a color from an image in Solidworks? I have a picture(.jpg) of a leadwire. I want to apply the color from the leadwire picture to the model. Thanks, -ren

    Solidworks - Add degree symbol into Sketch Text on a Sketch in a Model

    Thanks for the replies! I gave the Alt code another try, this time with the number keypad, it worked! I am surprised that SW doesn't include a button allowing you to add symbols in this feature, perhaps it will be available in a future release. -ren
