Ch8: Screw Thread

1. The involute profile of a spur gear is limited to only the

(a) root circle (c) pitch circle
base circle (d) addendum circle )b(
2. The angle between the line of action and the common tangent
to the pitch circles is known as
(a) flank angle (c) included angle
tooth angle (d) pressure angle )b(
3. The path traced by a point on a circle that is rolling on a
straight line without slipping is
(a) involute (c) epicycloid
(b) cycloid (d) hypocycloid

4. The tooth profile of mating gears is kept uniformly thinned,

which results in a small play between mating tooth surfaces. This
is called
(a) backlash (c) lead correction
(b) pitch correction (d) none of these

5. In order to measure the chordal thickness of agear using a gear

calliper, the position of the blade is set to
(a) the entire depth of the gear tooth
(b) addendum of the gear tooth
(c) dedendum of the gear tooth
(d) top surface of the gear tooth
(e) chordal height of gear tooth

6. Which of the following is the tester in which the gear being

inspected is made to mesh with a standard gear and a dial
indicator is used to capture the radial errors?
(a) Pitch-checking instrument
(b) Johnson gear tester
(c) Parkinson gear tester
(d) McMillan gear tester
7. The angle formed between a flank of the thread and the
perpendicular to the axis of the thread, which passes through the
vertex of the
fundamental triangle, is called
(a) a helix angle (c) a lead angle
(b) a flank angle (d) an included angle

8. The indicator that enables the application of a pressure already

decided upon on the screw thread in a bench micrometer is called
(a) a fiducial indicator
(b) a pressure indicator
(c) a span indicator
(d) none of these

9. In wire methods, the diameter of the wire selected should be

such that it makes contact with the screw along the
(a) outer diameter (c) root diameter
(b) pitch cylinder (d) axis of the screw

10. In a two-wire method, diameter of the best-size wire is given

by
(a) d = (p/2) sec (x/2)
(b) d = (p/4) sec (x/2)
(c) d = (p/2) cosec (x/2)
(d) d = (p/2) cot (x/2)

11. The pitch error that occurs whenever the tool work velocity
ratio is incorrect but constant is referred to as a
(a) cyclic error
(b) velocity error
(c) progressive error
(d) non-progressive error

12. In which of the following cases is the pitch measured parallel

to the thread axis correct, but the threads are not cut to a true
helix?
(a) Drunken threads (c) Whitworth threads
(b) Sunken threads (d) Metric threads
13. The two methods of inspecting screw threads are
(a) inspection by constants and variables
(b) inspection by variables and attributes
(c) inspection by quality and cost
(d) inspection of attributes and constants

14. Thread gauges that are used to inspect external thread forms
are called
(a) plug screw gauges
(b) ring screw gauges
(c) external screw gauges
(d) all of these

15. A NOT GO screw gauge will primarily check for

(a) outer diameter and nothing else
(b) inside diameter and nothing else
(c) effective diameter and nothing else
