POWER THREAD EX

• A single square thread power screw is to raise a load of 70kN. The


screw has a major diameter of 36mm and a pitch of 6mm. The
coefficient of thread friction and collar friction are 0.13 and 0.1
respectively. If the collar mean diameter is 90 mm and the screw
turns at 60 rpm, compute the combined efficiency of the collar and
screw.
• Find the horsepower required to drive a power screw lifting a load of
4000lbs. A 2 and ½ inches double square thread with two threads/in
is to be used. The friction radius of the collar is 2 inches and the
coefficients of friction are 0.1 for the threads and 0.15 for the collar.
The velocity of the nut is 10ft/min.
