Which of the following is NOT an exception to the Crush Shear Criteria?

  1. Area between lightweight moving parts

  2. Bottom surface of sliding boards

  3. Chain and its method of attachment

  4. Attachment area of coil springs

The correct answer is: Bottom surface of sliding boards

The area between lightweight moving parts, the chain and its method of attachment, and the attachment area of coil springs are all exceptions to the Crush Shear Criteria. This means that they do not have to comply with the same safety standards and regulations as other parts of the machinery. However, the bottom surface of sliding boards is not an exception to the criteria and must be designed and manufactured to meet the standards set by the Crush Shear Criteria.
