MECHANICAL
Mechanical is always drawn and shown in third angle orthographic
projection. You can refer to the SABS Code of practice 10111 for more
notes and explanations.
TYPES OF DRAWINGS:
1. ANALYTICAL
Questions on a mechanical drawing. Most of the answers are on the page,
or can be calculated (dimensions). There are names and uses of
components, features and types of hatching etc. that you can learn for this
section.
2. ASSEMBLY
A separate question and answer page. Components are all drawn
separately, you will draw these as if the assembly was put together. There
is normally a sectional view.

SECTIONING
NON-SECTIONAL PARTS
There are certain components that are NOT SECTIONED when the
cutting plane passes through them longitudinally .
They are:
Ribs and webs C
Nuts, Bolts and Washes
Shafts, Rods, Spindles,
Keys and Pins
Rivets, Spokes and similar parts.

A
B

Example:
Look at the rib above. When sectioned length ways (Block A) it is NOT
hatched. But when cut crossways (Block B) it IS hatched.
Block C is not a rib/ web so is hatched completely. Can you see the
difference?
Also see the example below to show how items are sectioned with
longitudinal cutting plane B-B.

TYPES OF SECTIONING
Why do we section an object?
We section objects and components to see the detail inside, which otherwise cannot be
seen. Although is could be drawn in hidden detail, sometimes this is confusing and so
sectioning an object is best.

SECTION A-A SECTION A-A


Half - (Above) Only half the assembly is

cut. In the top view it looks like a 'quarter'

Successive - (Below) When there are

show extra detail.

Removed - A removed section is also used to show
the true shape of a cross-section of a component.
The section may be placed near the view or
connected to the view by lines of symmetry through
the cutting plane.

A A
Offset/ Multiplane - When cutting through
irregular shaped objects it is often desirable to
show the cutting plane passing through several
features that do not lie in a straight line. This can
be achieved by off-setting the cutting plane. The
offsets in the cutting plane must be drawn at 90°
to each other and are thickened. They are not
shown in the sectional view.

SECTION A-A Z

Aligned - In order to include


angled elements in a sectioned
view, the cutting plane may be
bent to pass through these
features. The cutting plane and the
features are first straightened or
aligned, by rotating them into a
single plane, before the feature is
projected to the sectional view.
Wherever the cutting plane is
Z
bent, these parts of the plane are
thickened.
SECTION Z-Z

Revolved - A revolved section is


used to show the true shape of a
cross section on the view of a
component by revolving the
cutting plane in position.

KEYS
· Used to make the shaft and outer component
(eg. pulley) rotate simultaneously. Taper
· There is always a part section in the shaft to Woodruff
show key detail.
· Key sits in the keyway and keyseat.
· Woodruff key is normally used on a tapered Feather Rectangular
shaft.

1. A flange is a projecting thin disc on a pipe or couplings joining two shaft ends together.
2. A keyway is a groove on a shaft to accommodate a corresponding key.
3. A key is a shaped piece of metal which is inserted in a shaft to prevent relative movement between the two parts.
4. A taper is a gradual change in diameter of a component along it's length.
5. A Shaft is a cylindrical rotating rod used for transmission of motion.
6. A shoulder is a sudden change in diameter.
7. A square on a shaft is a length of the shaft with a square cross-section.
8. A bush is a plain bearing supporting a rotating shaft and can easily be replaced when worn out.
9. A web/ rib - is a thin flat part used to support or strengthen heavier parts of a component.
10. A bore is a cylindrical hole along a tube or a boss.
11. A collar is a separate ring, an integral part of a shaft used for axial location.
12. Spokes are rods radiating from the hub to the rim of a wheel.
13. A rim is the outer part of a wheel.
14. A hub is the inner part of a wheel.
15. A pulley is a small wheel with a flat or grooved rim to carry a belt, rope, etc.
16. A fillet is an internal corner of a casting which is curved to make the corner stronger by reducing stress
concentrations.
17. A slot is an elongated hole or groove.
18. A spot-face is a flat circular surface concentric with a hole used for seating screw heads.
19. A counterbored hole is a hole part of which has a larger diameter and a flat bottomed to conceal screw heads.
20. A lug is a projection from a casting etc., used for fastening and adjusting purposes.
21. A countersunk hole is a hole part of which is concical to receive screw heads.
22. A dowel is a headless cylindrical pin used for precise location purposes.
23. A blind-drilled hole is a hole which does not pass completely through the component.
24. A recess is a shallow hole to suit the shape of a spigot or a similar matching part. Technically speaking the recess
on a shaft is referred to as a seating.
25. A tee groove/ tee slot is a long aperture used to accommodate fixing bolts, preventing them turning.
26. A chamfer is a surface produced by bevelling square edges.
27. A spigot is a projection which fits into a corresponding recess and is used for precise location purposes.
