Stem Engine Crosshead Assembly Animation

Image
Crosshead is used in horizontal steam engines for connecting the piston rod and connecting rod. The figure shows the part drawings of a steam engine crosshead. The crosshead, with the help of slide block 4, reciprocates between two guides provided in the engine frame. The gudgeon pin 3, connects the slide blocks with the crosshead block 1. This acts as a pin joint for the connecting rod (not shown in the figure). The piston rod 2 is secured to the crosshead block by means of the cotter 5. The assembly ensures reciprocating motion along a straight line for the piston rod and reciprocating cum oscillatory motion for the connecting rod.

Disengaging Couplings

Image
Disengaging couplings are used when power transmission from one shaft to another is intermittent. With this, the shafts can be engaged or disengaged as and when required, even during rotation. A disengaging coupling in general consists of one part firmly fixed to the driving shaft and another one mounted with provision for sliding over the driven shaft. The part that is mounted on the driven shaft, can be made to slide at will to engage or disengage from the rotating driving shaft. The following are the examples of dis-engaging couplings. 1. CLAW COUPLING:  In this, each flange has a number of identical claws which engage into the corresponding recesses in the flange. One flange is firmly fitted to the driving shaft by means of a taper sunk key. The other one is placed over the driven shaft by two feather keys, so that it can slide freely on it. The sliding flange has a groove on the boss, into which the forked end of a lever fits. By operating the lever, the sliding flange m...

Flanged Couplings

Image
These are the standard forms of couplings, most extensively used. In a flanged coupling, flanges are either fitted or provided at the ends of shafts. The flanges are fastened together by means of a number of bolts and nuts. The number and size of the bolts depend upon the power to be transmitted and hence, the shaft diameter. There are two types of  Flanged Couplings. 1. FLANGED COUPLING WITH DETACHABLE FLANGES : In this, two flanges are keyed, one at the end of each shaft, by means of sunk keys. For ensuring correct alignment, a cylindrical projection may be provided on one flange which fits into the corresponding recess in the other. In the design shown in figure, the bolt heads and nuts are exposed and liable to cause injury to the workman. Hence, as a protection, the bolt heads and nuts may be covered by providing an annular projection on each flange. A flanged coupling, using these flanges is called a protected flanged coupling.
