Question

Match list I with list II and select the correct answer using the code given: 

• A. 1 – iv, 2 – iii, 3 – ii, 4 – i
• B. 1 – iv, 2 – iii, 3 – i, 4 – ii
• C. 1 – iii, 2 – iv, 3 – i, 4 – ii
• D. 1 – iii, 2 – iv, 3 – ii, 4 – i

Hint:

When matching shaft configurations with couplings, always consider the spatial arrangement and the required mechanical movement or transmission efficiency.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Analyzing each pairing.
1. A parallel shaft with slight offset is typically accommodated by an Oldham coupling, which can handle slight misalignments.
2. A parallel shaft at a reasonable distance is often connected via a belt and pulley system, ideal for such setups.
3. Perpendicular shaft arrangements typically use worm and worm wheel setups, which allow for perpendicular axis operation.
4. Intersecting shafts are best served by universal joints, which can handle the angle between the shafts.
