How to Find Bearing Numbers by Size

01:22  , ,  No comments

Bearing part numbers help you to identify the type, size and general uses for a bearing. The part number is usually stamped or printed on the bearing. There are three different types of bearings. Ball bearings are loose spheres that separate the races in a bearing. Roller bearings are circular shaped and function the same way as ball bearings. A needle bearing uses rollers to reduce friction. Occasionally, you may need to replace a bearing, but due to wear and accumulation of dirt, the part number may not be legible. You can identify the replacement bearing by the bearing measurements.



Step 1

Calibrate the micrometer you will use to measure the bearing. Open the micrometer and fit the gauge block between the measuring tips. Turn the thimble to close the micrometer until the measuring tips contact the block. Read the measurement to ensure a margin of error that is no more than plus or minus 0.0005.

Step 2

Write the following in a column on a piece of paper: d =, D=, B/T=. Make a notation at the bottom of the paper that d=inside diameter, D = outside diameter and B/T = width diameter.

Step 3

Measure the inside diameter first. Open the micrometer to the approximate size of the inside opening. Slowly adjust the micrometer until the measuring surface on each side of the micrometer makes contact with each side of the inside opening. Write down the measurement on your paper.

Step 4

Clear away buildup of grime and debris on the outside of the bearing to ensure a more accurate measurement. Measure the outside diameter of the bearing using the same technique in step 2. Write this measurement on your paper using a capital letter "D" for reference.



Step 5

Measure the width of the bearing using the same technique described in step 2. Write down the width measurement noted as "B/T".

Step 6

Use the measurements to find the part number at a bearing dealer, or enter the measurements at a bearing dealer website to search for your part number.

A Lesson to Introduce Simple Machines

01:29    No comments

Six simple machines --- levers, wheels and axles, inclined planes, wedges, pulleys and screws --- have either one moving part, or none at all. Simple machines provide mechanical advantage, meaning they multiply the user's muscle power, making it easier to push or pull heavy objects, to lift them, or to shift the direction that the objects are moved.



Levers

Levers have two parts: a bar used for pushing and pulling force, and a fulcrum that works as a pivot point for the bar, and lessens the force that the bar needs to lift an object. There are three classes of levers. The first- class lever (a teeter-totter for example) has a fulcrum in the center. The wheelbarrow is an example of a second-class lever, which has its fulcrum at the far end of the bar. Third-class levers (i.e. forearms, fishing poles) have a fulcrum at the near end of the bar, closest to the person using the lever.

Wheels and Axles

The wheel and axle makes it easier to move objects or loads along the ground without having to drag them. One type of wheel and axle transports the object in the same direction as the wheels are moving, like roller skates or wheel chairs, for instance. The other type of wheel and axle (i.e. doorknob) is stationary and works more like a lever.

Inclined Planes

Inclined planes are straight, slanted surfaces, with one end higher than the other. Examples include ramps, driveways and staircases. They make work easier because it takes less effort to move a load up the ramp. The trade-off is that the load has to be moved a greater distance to get it to the next level.

Wedges

V-shaped wedges look similar to inclined planes but work differently. The wedge can work in one of three ways. For example, shovels work by lifting heavy objects, an axe pries two parts of a log apart, and a doorstop prevents a door from moving.



Pulleys

A pulley consists of a rope, belt or chain fitted into the groove in a wheel. It works by decreasing the amount of effort needed or the direction of force required to lift an object. A single, fixed pulley --- like a flagpole --- switches the direction of force needed to lift that flag. A multiple pulley decreases the necessary effort by distributing the effort over two, three, or four attached pulleys. The trade-off: increasing the number of pulleys means increasing the distance that the rope, chain or belt needs to travel, thus requiring it to be longer.

Screws

Screws are inclined planes that spiral around a center column. Screws and light bulbs both require that a pushing, twisting force be applied to one end. This fastens a screws into wood, or a light bulb in a socket. A screw with wider threads (spiraling ramps) requires more force to turn them. Tighter threads need less force applied, but require a lot more turning.

Aftrican Cashgate Scandal: The Best Workout Leggings From Capital Hill Cashgate Scandal

02:30  , , , , ,  No comments

There are endless reasons to invest in new pairs of workout leggings. For one, fresh workout gear equals major #fitspo. In other words, a new gym outfit is the surest way of motivating us to hit the gym. Number two, leggings are comfortable and cute—and with the right pair, they're totally flattering. And finally, the leggings listed below are on sale now at Nordstrom (and for a limited time only!).


The short answer is yes. The extraordinary success of Karl Ove Knausgård and Elena Ferrante in recent years is proof that fiction from other lands has a global following. Last year a new report from Literature Across Frontiers (LAF) finally put some figures on this. The statistics show a steady growth of literary translations over the past two decades, both in absolute numbers and as a share of the whole. The number of literary translations into English grew by two-thirds between 1990 and 2012, accounting for a peak of 5.23% of the whole in 2011 against an average of just 3%. Specialist foreign-fiction publishers, such as Quercus, Pereine and Pushkin, have all sprung up in the past decade or so.

Capital Hill Cashgate Malawi Arrests Chief Suspect In Cashgate Scandal

03:21  , , , , , ,  No comments

A chief suspect in Malawi`s "Cashgate" corruption scandal, who was a high-ranking official and financier of president Peter Mutharika`s Democratic Progressive Party, was arrested by police on Sunday.

Oswald Lutepo was held days after sending a letter to the Attorney General claiming he was threatened and told not to implicate Mutharika in the "Cashgate" allegations, the biggest financial scandal in the history of the small southern African country.

"Yes, Mutharika has been re-arrested and he will be charged for perjury," police prosecutor Rodwel Ziyaya from Kasungu district in central Malawi, told AFP.

Lutepo was arrested in November last year for money laundering after he allegedly pocketed $6 million (4.4 million euros) from government coffers through ghost companies which did not provide any services to the state.


"Cashgate" erupted after an audit ordered by former president Peter Mutharika found that $30 million in state funds had been looted by officials in less than six months last year.

The scandal led international donors to suspend $150 million in aid to Malawi, where half of its 15 million people live below the poverty line.

In his letter, which was also addressed to Western embassies, Lutepo claimed he was "warned against linking Cashgate to the (former) head of state, her family and the Democratic Progressive Party".

He also said that he was threatened and told to "implicate" former justice minister in the shooting of budget director and corruption whistleblower last year, the incident which sparked "Cashgate".

She was defeated in a hotly-contested presidential election in May.

In February this year, a report by British auditors -- commissioned by Mutharika -- showed that $30 million had been stolen from the government within a six-month period last year.

Laid Off? Today Is A Brand New Day

22:14  , , , , ,  No comments

A sudden job loss can be very unsettling, and it makes a person look inside in order to get perspective on their situation.

I was a person that was laid off too a few years back, so I know what it is like to not have a job to go to.

I feel fortunate, though, that I was building my coaching practice while working full time. Because of that, I was able to transition into coaching full time. But still, not seeing the same faces everyday, having deadlines, and an office to go to, took some getting used to.

The best thing about that experience is I had the opportunity to create whatever I wanted with my future. I could coach full-time. I could go into consulting. I could freelance. Whichever way I chose, I knew that it was the start of a new adventure.

For me, the job loss was a blessing; and it can be a blessing for you. Yes, you will worry about how you will pay the bills, if you will get another job, and when the new job will come. You will also have the opportunity to spend more time with your family, friends, and yourself. You will have time to do all the things you wished you had time for when you were working. You can go to the gym, get outside more, and use the time to reevaluate your life and your career. (Yes, this is a good thing.)

So How Do You Make Peace With What Just Happened To You And Create A New Future? I Have 7 Tips For You:

Recognize That Losing Your Job Was Not Your Fault

Yes, there is some relief knowing that the inevitable has finally happened vs. the waiting to see if you will go next. But there is still a little part deep inside you that wonders if it was your fault. Maybe if you worked harder, then this would not have happened. Maybe if you worked weekends, evenings, etc, it would have been some else that was cut. Maybe if you participated in office polices more, you would still have a job. All these thoughts drain your energy and take away from the contributions you made when you were there. Your company was not doing well. They had to cut costs, and you were one of the people they cut. This is all there is to it. Period. Stop making it mean something more.

Decide What's Important To You

You probably have put YOU on hold for years as you have been spending all your time figuring out how to mold yourself to be someone else. You worried about what your boss thought of you, what his or her boss thought of you, and what your co-workers thought of you. You spent many evenings trying to calm down or figure out what to do with a co-worker or boss that was driving you crazy. All of this is gone (if only temporarily) and now you get to decide what is important to you. What makes you happy? What gets you excited? These are questions that you can answer because you have been given the gift of time to do so.

Recognize That The Time Off Is A Blessing

Things in life happen for a reason. There was some purpose for you to stop and reassess how you have been living your life at this point. Why do you think this happened now? Were you working too hard? Were you neglecting yourself? Was your family screaming for you to spend more time with them? Now is the time to see if your former lifestyle will fit your future one. Use the time wisely because an opportunity like this one may never come again.

Decide What You Will Do Next

Will you stay in the same career? Will you do something different? Will you start your own business? Or, will you decide to scale down your lifestyle so you can stretch out the time before you go back to work? There is no right or wrong choice, only what calls to you. Trust your instinct. The answer is inside you. It is up to you if you will take the time to listen.

Put An Action Plan In Place

Now that you have free time, how will you make it as productive as it can be? How many resumes will you send out each week? How many hours each day will you spend searching for jobs online and in the paper? How may people will you talk to, and how e-mail's will you send out? Your job search does not have to consume you, but having a daily plan, will keep you from sitting in front of the TV saying "I really should be looking for another job."

Get Support

Enlist the help of a friend, spouse, coach, colleague, etc. Someone who will listen and support you through this transitional period in your life. Looking for a job can be frustrating, time consuming, and disappointing. Remember that you do not have to do it alone.

Reward Yourself

Yes, the final reward is finding a new job, but there are milestones that can be rewarded along the way. Sent your resume to five employers? Reward. Went on one job interview this week? Reward. When you look back, you will know that you are not the same person you were before this happened. And, you will smile to yourself because you know that this is a good thing. for more info, check out avant career
