Slop旷量

At a glance

Short name
Slop
Type
Spec
Written by: FZEDC

Unwanted looseness between parts that lets them wiggle or rattle.

零件之间不该有的松动,会让它们晃动或发出响声。

What it is

Slop, also called play, is free movement where parts should be firm. You feel it as wobble when you shake a slider or tilt a spinner.

Why it matters

A little clearance is needed for parts to move, but too much reads as low quality. Tight tolerances, good pins and fresh wear plates reduce slop.

Also known as: Play, Wobble, Rattle, 间隙, 晃动.

是什么

旷量也叫间隙或晃动,指本应稳固的地方存在自由活动。摇一摇推牌、侧倾陀螺时感到的晃动就是旷量。

为什么重要

零件要能动,需要一点间隙;但间隙过大就显得做工差。严格的公差、合适的销和新的耐磨片都能减少旷量。

又称:Play、Wobble、Rattle、间隙、晃动。
