Why is it necessary to keep lubrication records for motors?

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark
To determine

The necessity for keeping lubrication records for motors.

Explanation of Solution

Some electric motors contain sleeve bearings which require oiling periodically. The motors which have ball or roller bearings are lubricated with grease. The motors which contain sealed bearings do not require lubrication.

In order to maintain proper lubrication from time to time, a lubrication record is required to be prepared. A lubrication record is the best method of ensuring that motors are neither overlubricated nor never lubricated.

The pickup truck weighs 3220 Ib and reaches a speed of 30 mi/hr from rest in a distance of 200 ft up the 10-percent incline with constant acceleration. Calculate the normal force under each pair of wheels and the friction force under the rear driving wheels. The effective coefficient of friction between the tires and the road is known to be at least 0.8.
1. The figure shows a car jack to support 400kg (W=400kg). In the drawing, the angle (0) varies between 15 and 70 °. The links are machined from AISI 1020 hot-rolled steel bars with a minimum yield strength of 380MPa. Each link consists of two bars, one on each side of the central bearings. The bars are 300mm in length (/) and 25 mm in width (w). The pinned ends have the buckling constant (C) of 1.4 for out of plane buckling. The design factor (nd) is 2.5. (1) Find the thickness (t) of the bars and the factor of safety (n). (2) Check if the bar is an Euler beam. D
