Responsibility Engineering Drawings

Q: If someone interprets a drawing • Should clearly convey all of the information
you created differently than you necessary to fabricate the product
– Dimensions – including overall dimensions
intended, and then the design does – Tolerances – including default tolerance spec.
not work… – Material
– Surface finish
Whose fault is it?
– Special manufacturing instructions
A: Yours! • Two types of drawings
– Detail drawings – typically one sheet per part
Dr. Bear sez:
– Assembly drawings
Make your drawings totally clear

Threaded Fasteners Preventing Loosening

• Lock washers • Lock nuts
• Useful joining technique that allows disassembly
• But - need to guard against loosening Split lock washer
• Most screw threads are right-handed
• Widely used throughout industry
Elliptical Nylon insert Pin lock Toothed flange
– 2.5 million fasteners in a Boeing 747
Internal tooth washer
– Most are rivets • Castle nut • Jam nut(s)
Wire or
cotter pin

External tooth washer • Loctite

 Some Types of Fasteners Hybrid Bolts
Basically the same fastener!

For holes Binocular bolt for Round headed bolt for For mismatched
Bolt Stud Cap Screw not square double drilled holes gripping by vise grips holes
Set screws often
do not have heads

Don’t use For redrilled holes

Machine Screw For wood Double For holes too
Set Screw set screws that still don’t match
and metal countersink near the edge
to transmit torque!
