BOLT, NUT & WASHER

Note M = major diameter of thread

Thread length = 2M + 6 for lengths up to 125mm

Thread length = 2M + 12 for lengths from 125mm to 200mm
Thread length = 2M + 25 for lengths over 200mm

PLAN : NUT

The sharp corners of the hexagon are removed with a 30° chamfer

Calculations for Bolt, Nut & Washer

If M = 20
(i) Distance across flats of hexagon = 1.6M Therefore 1.6 x 20 mm=32 mm

(ii) Thickness of Bolt head = 0.75M Therefore 0.75 x 20 mm = 15 mm

(iii) Thickness of nut = 0.8M Therefore 0.8 x 20 = 16 mm

(iv) Washer Diameter = 2M + 3 mm Therefore 2 x 20 + 3 = 43 mm

Washer Thickness = 0.1M Therefore 0.1 x 20 = 2mm

Thread length = 2M + 6 for lengths up to 125mm

Thread length = 2M + 12 for lengths from 125mm to 200mm
Thread length = 2M + 25 for lengths over 200mm

1. Figure 2, on one of the enclosed sheets, shows the first-angle orthographic projection details of the parts that make up a machine vice
assembly. In assembly, the movable jaw (2) is fitted to the vice body 1 . The jaw plates (3) are fitted to both the fixed and movable jaws with
the countersunk screws (7) . The screw (4) is fitted into the vice body and the movable jaw, and is secured to the movable jaw by a set
screw 6 . The handle (5) is fitted into the head of the screw.

(a) Draw, FULLSIZE, in either first-angle or third-angle orthographic projection, the following
views of the machine vice fully assembled:

(i) A plan. Show ALL hidden detail.

(ii) A FULL sectional front elevation taken on the cutting plane line, B–B.

(b) Show SIX main dimensions including a length, a diameter, a radius and a metric screw
thread specification.

(c) Print the title ‘Machine Vice Assembly’ and the scale used. Show the projection method
used by symbol. (80 marks)

1. Figure 2, on one of the enclosed sheets, shows the first-angle orthographic projection details of the parts that make up a Handle Control
Assembly. In assembly, the handle (2) is mounted onto the body (1) from the right side of the body (Arrow A) and secured with a pivot pin (3)
and split pin (4) which allow the handle to move through the slot at the top of the body from left to right. The handle can then be locked into
the slot at any one position by the M10 bolt (5) and M10 wing nut (6).

(a) Draw, FULLSIZE, in either first-angle or third-angle orthographic projection, the following
views of the assembly when the arm is locked in a vertical position:

(i) A front elevation. Show all hidden details.

(ii) A sectional end elevation on cutting plane ‘YY’.

(b) Show SIX main dimensions including a length, a diameter, a radius and a metric screw
thread specification.

(c) Print the title ‘Handle Control Assembly’ and the scale used. Show the projection method
by symbol.

NOTE: All fillet radii are 3 mm. (80 marks)
