Pin Joints Geometric Characteristics Influence on the Compressor Assembling.

Practically all the facilities have pin joints on smooth, cylindrical or cone surfaces with the circular sections. The mentioned convenient and technologically simple for processing and assembly surfaces are not always able to provide the rotary motion transfer or location accuracy. Pin joints are designed for the details precise reciprocal fixing, as well as for the light loads transferring (special shear pins functioning as protecting devices are also applied). Dowel (adjusting) pins are used when the position of one part relative to the other needs to be accurately fixed (for example, the split sleeve bearing cap position relative to its housing) and for taking the transverse forces acting in the parting plane of two details. The pin joint refers to the detachable connections [1]. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
