The "Hexagonal Wrench" also known as 'Hex Key' or 'Allen Key' is a long L-shaped six-sided hand tool used to drive Hex head socket screws and bolts. It helps to easily fasten or loosen bolts, especially with those that are small and difficult to reach with other tools. The Hex key's come in a bunch with various sizes in which small end bent to 90 degrees and the other end is for holding the tool coated with plastic/rubber for firm grip. Allen keys are made from special grade alloy steel, chrome vanadium steel, carbon steel etc. The high grade alloy steel which withstands up to 30% higher torque and has higher tensile strength as compared to Allen keys made from chrome vanadium steel. The Hex wrench comes in sets with various sizes made to fit with different bolt size.
The Hexagon wrenches are available in two general forms:
1. L-shaped and T-handles.
2. The Advantages Of The Hexagon Wrenches:
The Advantages Of The Hexagon Wrenches:
1. Both ends of the Hex wrench can be used to fasten.
2. Lightweight, easy to carry and low-cost.
3. Hex wrench is made up of stainless steel and is rust-less.
4. It is available in various sizes depending on the size of screw or bolt.
5. It has six surface contacts and can be hand tightened easily.
6. It is Durable and Corrosion Resistant.
The Applications Of The Hexagon Wrenches:
1. It is a handy tool, can fasten various hex nuts/bolts.
2. In automobile repairing.
3. In fixing metallic furniture's.
4. In assembling any hardware machines/equipment.
5. These are used in consumer, motor garage and in the industrial assembling.
Deep Groove Ball Bearings:
The 'Deep grove Ball Bearings' are apparently the most used peripheral in mechanical applications. In the mechanical industry the ball bearings play a vital role, it has a compelling effect on the dynamic action of rotating machines. Accurate modelling and simulation methods give an increasingly exact approach for finding out the dynamic functioning of systems that includes ball bearing.
A 'Deep Groove Ball Bearings' are versatile mechanical components. They are simple in structure, non-separable, suitable for low and very high speeds and are robust in functioning. They have deep channel grooves in which the outer and inner rings have circular curve, where the inner ring has fewer radiuses than the outer one, along with the calculated ball sizes.
While developing the ball bearing model, the following features are considered:
1. The ball bearing model should be equispaced.
2. There should no slipping of the balls.
3. The motions of race and balls must occur in the plane of the bearing only.
4. The outer race is fixed in a rigid support.
5. There should be no change in temperature of bearing while rotating.
The bearing when subjected to load, the rotating balls generate vibrations even when the geometry of the bearing components is standard/ideal. The varying orbital position of the balls leads vibration caused by elastic deformation or change in volume of balls when subjected to an applied stress. This activity leads to the variations in the stiffness of the bearing.
