Today Fasteners Welding Tuesday Working Drawing Set Wednesday Measurements Lab Thursday Quiz on Fasteners and Welding Introduction to AutoDesk Inventor Fasteners and Welding Objectives: Understand importance of fasteners, learn how to specify threaded fasteners and represent them in drawings and learn about other fastening methods. Understand basics of welding symbols Topics For Today Importance of fastening Threaded fasteners Non-threaded fasteners Other machine elements Adhesives Welding Importance of Fastening 50% of production time for the average item is spent on assembly/fastening. Fasteners are critical to product performance and reliability Choosing the proper fasteners is an important part of product design Three Methods Commonly Used in Fastening Mechanical Fastening Bolts, screws, rivets, keys, pins Paper clips, zippers, “Velcro” Bonding Welding, soldering, brazing, gluing Forming Sheet metal, plastic snaps parts Threaded Fasteners – Terminology Threaded Fasteners – Terminology Internal threads Threads inside a hole Made by drill tap: drill smooth hole make threads with a tap Threaded Fasteners – Terminology Bolt - head on one end, threads on other end, used with a nut Stud - rod threaded at both ends Cap screw - head on one end, threads on other end, NOT used with a nut Machine screw - similar to cap screw but smaller Set screw - used to prevent 2 rotating parts from moving separately Threaded Fasteners – Specification .5 - major diameter of .5 inches 28 - 28 threads per inch UN - form Unified (i.e. shape of the thread)* C - series (C means coarse), F (fine), EF (extra fine) Threaded Fasteners – Specification 3 - class of fit (3 is precise, 2 is normal, 1 is loose fit) B - internal thread (A is for external) Threaded Fasteners – Specification M - indicates thread form is metric 6 - major diameter in millimeters 1 - pitch in millimeters 4H5H - tolerance (capital letters for internal thread, lower c
