Questions and CORRECT Answers
A -bar - CORRECT ANSWER - Armature bar 1.5 is standard length
When a bar is flat on front coil we are coil has between .010-.012 - CORRECT
ANSWER - Smaller creates more power it is noticeable (more coil is more power)
You should be careful of small gaps as the air bar can hit the coil when the machine is running -
CORRECT ANSWER - And this will cause it to rattle or Deflection of the a bar. It will
Make that a bar bounce off of the rear coil and hit the front coil in correctly
Armature bar should be - CORRECT ANSWER - Plain steel and no chrome. The coil cord
should not extend over coil cap very much coils with too much Coors showing tend to run hot.
Also they run sporadically after a short time your machine can run in consistently and will
require more voltage to compensate
Push the a bar down on the front coil hold machine up to the light and check - CORRECT
ANSWER - For dust Lent etc. this can cause your machine to rattle and deflect believe it
or not just blow debris with air can or pouty lips
Do not allow front spring to - CORRECT ANSWER - Hangover the rear of the amateur
Bar this can create a buzz and undue birbration
Armature bar rear and coil - CORRECT ANSWER - Are aligned
A longer a bar extending past rear is fine - CORRECT ANSWER - Creates a longer stroke
and usually a longer a bar and is 1.625 long
Angle of contact screws does not matter much - CORRECT ANSWER - As long as it
turns on it's doing it's job however when the spring strikes the contact on the up stroke the angle
of the contact screw can have an effect of the overall vibration of your machine.
, MGRADES UPDATED EXAMS
Once your machine is set up correctly it should - CORRECT ANSWER - The angle
should remain the same because the Contacts crew should head at the very end or front of the
spring choose a front spring that is correct for your application
A short spring - CORRECT ANSWER - Will be faster. That same spring but the higher
angle will be faster yet a lower angle makes it slower and softer hit
All metals are measured on the - CORRECT ANSWER - Rockwell scale and find it best to
be 48-51
Remember no matter the spring length the screw should - CORRECT ANSWER - Hit the
end of the spring
A high angle makes for a - CORRECT ANSWER - Shorter stroke
Contact screws need to be - CORRECT ANSWER - Smooth
On front springs - CORRECT ANSWER - I roll my springs front and rear there are no
creases bends or breaks I find it helps dampen vibration smooth the machine operation I use .020
thickness material as my standard for the front and 0.18 for the rear
Why is the contact screw at the end of the spring for - CORRECT ANSWER - It
illuminates a raspy vibration that happens when the Contacts crew was pushed too far back on
the front spring which makes the machine run weaker and less efficient
Using brass screws are better - CORRECT ANSWER - They are highly conductive full of
copper compared to silver silver tends to mushroom then widens the spring gap which makes for
running problems
