    PUMP STATION MECHANIC I/II DEFINITION To perform semi-skilled and skilled work in the installation maintenance and repair of pumps, motors, chain drives, valves and related equipment; and to do related work as required. DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS Pump Mechanic I: This is the entry level class in the Pump Mechanic series. Positions in this class normally perform beginning level mechanical repair and maintenance work on a wide variety of wastewater and storm water lift station and equipment. Under this class, individuals employed at the entry level (Pump Mechanic I) may, based on the acquisition of higher skill levels through training and experience, become eligible for promotion to the Pump Mechanic II position. This promotion would be based on satisfactory demonstration of skills through examination or certification from an accepted organization, training institution, or school and demonstrated ability to perform high level maintenance and repairs on City pump stations. Particular skill areas of interest are installation and maintenance of telemetry systems, computerized pump control systems and pump preventative maintenance programs. Pump Mechanic II: This is the journey level class in the Pump Mechanic series. Positions assigned to this class are flexibly staffed and are expected to perform the most skilled repair and maintenance work and have a thorough knowledge of the operational characteristics, maintenance and repair methods and techniques and most typical system difficulties for the full range of equipment and operational systems in a lift station. All positions assigned to this class require the ability to work independently, exercising judgment and initiative. Pump Station Mechanics II may also be expected to assist in the oversite of less experienced personnel.

This paper presents a comparative study for actuation by undulation in water. We focus on actuating a 1DOF systems with several mechanisms. A hydraulic pump attached to a soft body allows for water movement between two inner Deflection cavities, ultimately leading to a flexing actuation in a side-to- side manner. The effectiveness of six different, self-contained designs based on centrifugal pump, flexible impeller pump, Cyclic Actuator external gear pump and rotating valves are compared. These hydraulic actuation systems combined with soft test bodies were De-Pressurized Liquid then measured at a lower and higher oscillation frequency.

An external gear pump design produced the largest body and compact actuation with long endurance for soft fluidic deflection, but consumes an order of magnitude more power actuators [1].

  • Selecting the 'Perfect'
    MWF | Special Section BEST PRACTICES Jerry P. Byers, CMFS Selecting the ‘perfect’ metalworking fluid In addition to fully understanding the operating conditions, be sure to question all assumptions about MWFs. Many of them are the tribological equivalent of old fairy tales. etalworking fluids (MWFs) are a key production Maid in the manufacture of metal parts, from seem- ingly simple items such as coins and wire, to complex objects such as medical devices and engines for aero- space applications. These fluids are used because it is more cost effective to run most operations with a fluid than without. The benefits include more high quality finished parts by the end of the shift with lower tool wear, reduced grinding wheel usage and less machine downtime. MWFs help maintain a constant temperature for the metal part, the tool and the machine—improving di- mensional stability of the parts produced. Temperature control is achieved through (1.) lubricants that reduce heat generation and (2.) the cooling action of the fluid that removes heat. The fluid is also used to carry metal particles (chips) away from the cutting zone to an area where they are separated and collected. The benefit for tool life is shown in Figure 1, a graph of tool wear vs. machining time for a turning operation where 390 aluminum is being machined with polycrys- talline diamond tooling under two conditions: either dry or with a semisynthetic MWF being applied. Notice that tool wear is greatly reduced and the time between Metalworking fluids are a key tool changes is dramatically extended when the fluid is applied.

This paper presents a numerical synthesis procedure for four-bar linkage that combines motion generation and function generation. The procedure is divided into two categories which are named as dependent combination and independent combination. Five feasible cases for dependent combination and two feasible cases for independent combination are analyzed. For each of feasible combinations, fully constrained vector loop equations of four-bar linkage are formulated in a complex plane. We present numerical examples to illustrate the synthesis procedure and determine the defect-free four-bar linkages.
