DSL 103 Drivetrains 1 Final Test

Front

What is the function of lockers in a drivetrain?

Back

Lockers cause both drive wheels to turn at the exact same speed and torque.

Front

What size feel gauge is used to measure clutch brake squeeze dimension?

Back

0.010

Front

How should we reference pinion movement and depth in relation to the ring gear?

Back

We should reference the position in relationship to the ring gear center-line.

Front

What is gear set backlash?

Back

The free movement between gear teeth.

Front

If pinion depth is decreased, what happens to shim thickness?

Back

Shim thickness will be increased.

Front

What is the purpose of a clutch in a drivetrain?

Back

To engage and disengage the engine from the drivetrain.

Front

Define 'pinion depth' in the context of drivetrains.

Back

Pinion depth refers to the distance from the centerline of the pinion gear to the centerline of the ring gear.

Front

What is the significance of measuring backlash in gears?

Back

Backlash ensures that there is enough space between gear teeth to prevent binding and allow for thermal expansion.

Front

Explain the term 'torque' in relation to drivetrains.

Back

Torque is a measure of rotational force applied to the drivetrain components.

Front

What does a 'shim' do in a drivetrain assembly?

Back

A shim is used to adjust the spacing between components to achieve the correct alignment and function.
