Figure 11.11. Milling chuck for screwed-shank cutters...

Cutters having screwed shanks are mounted in a special chuck, shown in Fig. 11.11. The collet, which is split along the length of its front end and has a short taper at the front, is internally threaded at its rear end. Collets of different sizes are available to suit the shank diameter of the cutter used. The collet is inserted into the locking sleeve and the assembly is screwed into the chuck body until the flange almost meets the end face of the body. 

With the aid of a sketch show how a screwed shank cutter is held in a milling chuck. 

The conductor being terminated is formed into an eye, as shown in Fig. 4.12. The eye shouid be siightiy iarger than the screw shank but smaller than the outside diameter of the screwhead, nut or washer. The eye should be placed on the screw shank in such a way that the rotation of the screwhead or nut will tend to close the joint in the eye.

The former works well with machines that have no nonreturn valve, whereas the latter acts on the screw shank and is used when braking is not possible. Various hydraulic drives are available, but vane motors, radial piston motors, and axial piston motors are preferred. Radial piston motors are used for screws with diameters of 50 to 200 mm ( 2 to 4 in) because they provide smooth operation. 

From the body load of 68% of body weight acting on the load line (the average % of body weight for the trunk, head and upper limbs) the compression and shear vectors on the L5-S1 disc space were estimated. From the measured lever arms to the SI screw to each of the vectors a moment was calculated for the SI screw-shank junction. Outlines of the L5 and L4 vertebral bodies were made and the pair were displaced over the SI segment to create a 50% forward slip of L5 on SI without any forward rotation. The vectors for that position were calculated and the moment on the Si screw-shank junction estimated. Another estimate for the moment on the SI screw-shank junction was based upon the compression vector only in the reduced position of L5 on SI. This, it was assumed, would be the moment if a cage were used anteriorly at L5-S1 to prevent shear displacements. 

A second critical point is the rear vacuum seal around the screw shank. This seal is exposed to sometimes-gritty materials. Leakage of air at this point can cause fluidization of material and adversely affect solids conveying in the extruder. Another method to avoid air entrapment is to use a two-stage extruder screw with a vent port in the barrel to extract air and any other volatiles that might be present in the polymer. 

The lower thermal conductivity of corrosion-resistant materials will reduce the amount of heat that can be transferred from the screw shank to the reducer. As a result, the shank and feed section of the screw will be at higher temperature as compared to a high-conductivity screw. Figure 11.15 shows the thermal expansion graphed against the temperature difference between the screw and barrel. 

The feed throat temperature is set at 15.6°C, the barrel temperatures are set at 288, 371, 371, and 371 °C, the screw shank is set at 93°C, the screw tip is at 371 C, and the heat flux at the screw centerline is zero in the radial direction. The program does not take into account viscous dissipation or convection the heat transfer is purely by conduction. The thermal conductivity of the FEP is taken as 0.246 J/ms°K. 

There are many different types of milling cutters available, and for convenience they can be classified according to the method of mounting those with a central hole for mounting on an arbor, those with a screwed shank for holding in a special chuck and the large facing cutters which mount directly on to the spindle nose. 

Axis A reference line of infinite length drawn through the center of the rear of the screw shank and the center of the discharge end. 

Relief An area of the screw shank of lesser diameter than the outside diameter and located between the bearing and the spine or key-way.
