For example, in the case of the lead screw of lathe, the rotary motion is available but the tool has to be advanced in the direction of the cut against the cutting resistance of the material. In case of screw jack, a small force applied in the horizontal plane is used to raise or lower a large load. Power screws are also used in vices, testing machines, presses, etc. In most of the power screws, the nut has axial motion against the resisting axial force while the screw rotates in its bearings. In some screws, the screw rotates and moves axially against the resisting force while the nut is stationary and in others the nut rotates while the screw moves axially with no rotation. 624 CONTENTS Power Screws

1 Tes of Screw Threads sed for Power Screws

Following are the three types of screw threads mostly used for power screws

1 Square thread A square thread as shown in Fig 171 (a) is adapted for the transmission of

power in either direction This thread results in maximum efficiency and minimum radial or bursting

Fig 171 Types of power screws

pressure on the nut It is difficult to cut with taps and dies It is usually cut on a lathe with a single

point tool and it can not be easily compensated for wear The

square threads are employed in screw jacks presses and

clamping devices The standard dimensions for square threads

according to IS 4694 ndash 1968 (Reaffirmed 1996) are shownin Table 171 to 173

2 Acme or trapezoidal thread An acme or trapezoidal

thread as shown in Fig 171 (b) is a modification of square

thread The slight slope given to its sides lowers the efficiency

slightly than square thread and it also introduce some burstingpressure on the nut but increases its area in shear It is usedwhere a split nut is required and where provision is made to

take up wear as in the lead screw of a lathe Wear may be

taken up by means of an adjustable split nut An acme thread

may be cut by means of dies and hence it is more easily

manufactured than square thread The standard dimensions

for acme or trapezoidal threads are shown in Table 174

(Page 630)

3 Buttress thread A buttress thread as shown in Fig

171 (c) is used when large forces act along the screw axis in

one direction only This thread combines the higher efficiency

of square thread and the ease of cutting and the adaptability toScrew 8acks

a split nut of acme thread It is stronger than other threads because of greater thickness at the base of the thread The buttress thread has limited use for power transmission It is employed as the thread for

light jack screws and vices

1$ Mtie Threads

The power screws with multiple threads such as double triple etc are employed when it is

desired to secure a large lead with fine threads or high efficiency Such type of threads are usually

found in high speed actuators

1amp Tore Reired to Raise (oad b Sare Threaded Screws

The torque required to raise a load by means of square threaded screw may be determined by

considering a screw jack as shown in Fig 172 (a) The load to be raised or lowered is placed on the

head of the square threaded rod which is rotated by the application of an effort at the end of lever for

lifting or lowering the load

Fig 172A little consideration will show that if one complete turn of a screw thread be imagined to be

unwound from the body of the screw and developed it will form an inclined plane as shown in

Fig 173 (a)

Fig 173

Let p = Pitch of the screw

d = Mean diameter of the screw

lang = Helix angle

Power Screws n 633

P = Effort applied at the circumference of the screw to lift the load

W = Load to be lifted and

prop = Coefficient of friction between the screw and nut

= tan where is the friction angle

From the geometry of the Fig 173 (a) we find that

tan lang = p d

Since the principle on which a screw jack works is similar to that of an inclined plane thereforethe force applied on the circumference of a screw jack may be considered to be horizontal as shown

in Fig 173 (b)

Since the load is being lifted therefore the force of friction (F = propRN ) will act downwards Allthe forces acting on the body are shown in Fig 173 (b)

Resolving the forces along the plane

P cos lang = W sin lang + F = W sin lang + propRN

and resolving the forces perpendicular to the plane

RN = P sin lang + W cos langSubstituting this value of RN in equation (i ) we have

P cos lang = W sin lang + prop (P sin lang + W cos lang)

= W sin lang + prop P sin lang + propW cos lang

1 E+cienc of Sare Threaded Screws

The efficiency of square threaded screws may be defined as the ratio between the ideal effort

(ie the effort required to move the load neglecting friction) to the actual effort ( ie the effort re-

quired to move the load taking friction into account)

We have seen in Art 174 that the effort applied at the circumference of the screw to lift the

load is

P = W tan (lang + ) (i )

where W = Load to be lifted

lang = Helix angle

= Angle of friction and

prop = Coefficient of friction between the screw and nut = tan If there would have been no friction between the screw and the nut then will be equal to zero

The value of effort P0 necessary to raise the load will then be given by the equation

P0 = W tan lang [Substituting = 0 in equation (i )]

there4Efficiency = Ideal effort

Actual effort

P W tan lang tan langP W tan (lang + ) tan (lang + )

This shows that the efficiency of a screw jack is independent of the load raised

In the above expression for efficiency only the screw friction is considered However if the

screw friction and collar friction is taken into account then

We have seen in Art 176 that the efficiency of a square threaded screw depends upon the helix

angle lang and the friction angle The variation of efficiency of a square threaded screw for raising the

load with the helix angle lang is shown in Fig 175 We see that the efficiency of a square threaded screw

increases rapidly upto helix angle of 20deg after which the increase in efficiency is slow The efficiencyis maximum for helix angle between 40 to 45deg

Fig 175 Graph between efficiency and helix angle

When the helix angle further increases say 70deg the efficiency drops This is due to the fact that

the normal thread force becomes large and thus the force of friction and the work of friction becomes

large as compared with the useful work This results in low efficiency

11 Ac-e or Trae5oida Threads

We know that the normal reaction in case of a squarethreaded screw is

RN = W cos langwhere

lang is the helix angle

But in case of Acme or trapezoidal thread the normal re-

action between the screw and nut is increased because the axial

component of this normal reaction must be equal to the axial

load (W )

Consider an Acme or trapezoidal thread as shown in

Fig 176

Let 2983214 = Angle of the Acme thread and

983214 = Semi-angle of the threadFig 176 Acme or trapezonidal threads

The material of screw is usually steel and the nut is made of cast iron gun metal phosphor bronze in order

to keep the wear to a mininum

For Acme threads 2 983214 = 29deg and for trapezoidal threads 2 983214 = 30deg

cos 983214is considered then the Acme thread is equivalent to a square

2 All equations of square threaded screw also hold good for Acme threads In case of Acme threads prop1

(ie tan 1) may be substituted in place of prop (ie tan ) Thus for Acme threads

P = W tan (lang + 1)where 1 = Virtual friction angle and tan 1 = prop1

11$ Stresses in Power Screws

A power screw must have adequate strength to withstand axial load and the applied torque

Following types of stresses are induced in the screw

1 $irect tensile or compressive stress due to an aial load The direct stress due to the axial

load may be determined by dividing the axial load (W ) by the minimum cross-sectional area of the

screw ( Ac) ie area corresponding to minor or core diameter (dc )

there4Direct stress (tensile or compressive)

W

= Ac

This is only applicable when the axial load is compressive and the unsupported length of thescrew between the load and the nut is short But when the screw is axially loaded in compression and

the unsupported length of the screw between the load and the nut is too great then the design must be

based on column theory assuming suitable end conditions In such cases the cross-sectional area

corresponding to core diameter may be obtained by using Rankine-Gordon formula or JB Johnsonrsquos

formula According to this

Stress induced due to load W

Note In actual practice the core diameter is first obtained by considering the screw under simple compression

and then checked for critical load or buckling load for stability of the screw

2 amporsional shear stress Since the screw is subjected to a twisting moment therefore torsional

shear stress is induced This is obtained by considering the minimum cross-section of the screw We

know that torque transmitted by the screw

or shear stress induced

(d c )3

When the screw is subjected to both direct stress and torsional shear stress then the design mustbe based on maximum shear stress theory according to which maximum shear stress on the minor

diameter section

ma =1

2(Bt or Bc 2 amp 2

It may be noted that when the unsupported length of the screw is short then failure will takeplace when the maximum shear stress is equal to the shear yield strength of the material In this case

shear yield strength

= ma times Factor of safety

3 Shear stress due to aial load The threads of the

screw at the core or root diameter and the threads of the nut

at the major diameter may shear due to the axial load

Assuming that the load is uniformly distributed over the

threads in contact we have

Shear stress for screw

n = Number of threads in engagement

and nt as i-or tant roe indeter-ining the e+cienc and ockingroerties of a screw

dc = Core or root diameter of the screw

do = Outside or major diameter of nut or screw and

t = Thickness or width of thread

4 Bearin pressure In order to reduce wear of the screw and nut the bearing pressure on the

thread surfaces must be within limits In the design of power screws the bearing pressure depends

upon the materials of the screw and nut relative velocity between the nut and screw and the nature of

lubrication Assuming that the load is uniformly distributed over the threads in contact the bearing

pressure on the threads is given by

where

t = Thickness or width of screw = p 2 and

n = Number of threads in contact with the nut

A little consideration will show that the maximum load on the square threaded screw occurs

when the jack is in the bottom position The position of the link =D in the bottom position is shownin Fig 1713 (a)

Let be the angle of inclination of the link =D with the horizontal

From the geometry of the figure we find that

cos = 105 minus 15

110= 08112 or = 351deg

Each nut carries half the total load on the jack and due to this the link =D is subjected to tensionwhile the square threaded screw is under pull as shown in Fig 1713 (b) The magnitude of the pull on

the square threaded screw is given by

F =W W

The central length (about 25 mm) of screwed rod is kept equal to core diameter of the screw ie

4 $esin o lins

Due to the load the links may buckle in two planes at right angles to each other For buckling in

the vertical plane (ie in the plane of the links) the links are considered as hinged at both ends and for

buckling in a plane perpendicular to the vertical plane it is considered as fixed at both ends We know

that load on the link

= F 2 = 2846 2 = 1423 N

Assuming a factor of safety = 5 the links must be designed for a buckling load of

W cr = 1423 times 5 = 7115 N

Let t 1 = Thickness of the link and

b1 = Width of the link

Assuming that the width of the link is three times the thickness of the link ie b1 = 3 t 1 therefore

cross-sectional area of the link A = t 1 times 3t 1 = 3(t 1)2

11) Di7erentia and Co-ond ScrewsThere are certain cases in which a very slow movement of the screw is required whereas in other

cases a very fast movement of the screw is needed The slow movement of the screw may be obtained

by using a small pitch of the threads but it results in weak threads The fast movement of the screw

may be obtained by using multiple-start threads but this method requires expensive machning and

the loss of self-locking property In order to overcome these difficulties differential or compound

screws as discussed below are used

equipments then a differential screw is used It consists of two threads of the same hand (ie right

handed or left handed) but of different pitches wound on the same cylinder or different cylinders as

shown in Fig 1714 It may be noted that when the threads are wound on the same cylinder then two

1 Tes of Screw Threads sed for Power Screws

Following are the three types of screw threads mostly used for power screws

1 Square thread A square thread as shown in Fig 171 (a) is adapted for the transmission of

power in either direction This thread results in maximum efficiency and minimum radial or bursting

Fig 171 Types of power screws

pressure on the nut It is difficult to cut with taps and dies It is usually cut on a lathe with a single

point tool and it can not be easily compensated for wear The

square threads are employed in screw jacks presses and

clamping devices The standard dimensions for square threads

according to IS 4694 ndash 1968 (Reaffirmed 1996) are shownin Table 171 to 173

2 Acme or trapezoidal thread An acme or trapezoidal

thread as shown in Fig 171 (b) is a modification of square

thread The slight slope given to its sides lowers the efficiency

slightly than square thread and it also introduce some burstingpressure on the nut but increases its area in shear It is usedwhere a split nut is required and where provision is made to

take up wear as in the lead screw of a lathe Wear may be

taken up by means of an adjustable split nut An acme thread

may be cut by means of dies and hence it is more easily

manufactured than square thread The standard dimensions

for acme or trapezoidal threads are shown in Table 174

(Page 630)

3 Buttress thread A buttress thread as shown in Fig

171 (c) is used when large forces act along the screw axis in

one direction only This thread combines the higher efficiency

of square thread and the ease of cutting and the adaptability toScrew 8acks

a split nut of acme thread It is stronger than other threads because of greater thickness at the base of the thread The buttress thread has limited use for power transmission It is employed as the thread for

light jack screws and vices

The power screws with multiple threads such as double triple etc are employed when it is

desired to secure a large lead with fine threads or high efficiency Such type of threads are usually

found in high speed actuators

1amp Tore Reired to Raise (oad b Sare Threaded Screws

The torque required to raise a load by means of square threaded screw may be determined by

considering a screw jack as shown in Fig 172 (a) The load to be raised or lowered is placed on the

head of the square threaded rod which is rotated by the application of an effort at the end of lever for

lifting or lowering the load

Fig 172A little consideration will show that if one complete turn of a screw thread be imagined to be

unwound from the body of the screw and developed it will form an inclined plane as shown in

Fig 173 (a)

Let p = Pitch of the screw

d = Mean diameter of the screw

lang = Helix angle

Power Screws n 633

P = Effort applied at the circumference of the screw to lift the load

W = Load to be lifted and

prop = Coefficient of friction between the screw and nut

= tan where is the friction angle

From the geometry of the Fig 173 (a) we find that

tan lang = p d

Since the principle on which a screw jack works is similar to that of an inclined plane thereforethe force applied on the circumference of a screw jack may be considered to be horizontal as shown

in Fig 173 (b)

Since the load is being lifted therefore the force of friction (F = propRN ) will act downwards Allthe forces acting on the body are shown in Fig 173 (b)

Resolving the forces along the plane

P cos lang = W sin lang + F = W sin lang + propRN

and resolving the forces perpendicular to the plane

RN = P sin lang + W cos langSubstituting this value of RN in equation (i ) we have

P cos lang = W sin lang + prop (P sin lang + W cos lang)

1 E+cienc of Sare Threaded Screws

The efficiency of square threaded screws may be defined as the ratio between the ideal effort

(ie the effort required to move the load neglecting friction) to the actual effort ( ie the effort re-

quired to move the load taking friction into account)

We have seen in Art 174 that the effort applied at the circumference of the screw to lift the

load is

P = W tan (lang + ) (i )

where W = Load to be lifted

lang = Helix angle

= Angle of friction and

prop = Coefficient of friction between the screw and nut = tan If there would have been no friction between the screw and the nut then will be equal to zero

The value of effort P0 necessary to raise the load will then be given by the equation

P0 = W tan lang [Substituting = 0 in equation (i )]

there4Efficiency = Ideal effort

Actual effort

P W tan lang tan langP W tan (lang + ) tan (lang + )

This shows that the efficiency of a screw jack is independent of the load raised

In the above expression for efficiency only the screw friction is considered However if the

screw friction and collar friction is taken into account then

We have seen in Art 176 that the efficiency of a square threaded screw depends upon the helix

angle lang and the friction angle The variation of efficiency of a square threaded screw for raising the

load with the helix angle lang is shown in Fig 175 We see that the efficiency of a square threaded screw

increases rapidly upto helix angle of 20deg after which the increase in efficiency is slow The efficiencyis maximum for helix angle between 40 to 45deg

Fig 175 Graph between efficiency and helix angle

When the helix angle further increases say 70deg the efficiency drops This is due to the fact that

the normal thread force becomes large and thus the force of friction and the work of friction becomes

large as compared with the useful work This results in low efficiency

We know that the normal reaction in case of a squarethreaded screw is

RN = W cos langwhere

lang is the helix angle

But in case of Acme or trapezoidal thread the normal re-

action between the screw and nut is increased because the axial

component of this normal reaction must be equal to the axial

load (W )

Consider an Acme or trapezoidal thread as shown in

Fig 176

Let 2983214 = Angle of the Acme thread and

The material of screw is usually steel and the nut is made of cast iron gun metal phosphor bronze in order

2 All equations of square threaded screw also hold good for Acme threads In case of Acme threads prop1

(ie tan 1) may be substituted in place of prop (ie tan ) Thus for Acme threads

P = W tan (lang + 1)where 1 = Virtual friction angle and tan 1 = prop1

11$ Stresses in Power Screws

A power screw must have adequate strength to withstand axial load and the applied torque

Following types of stresses are induced in the screw

1 $irect tensile or compressive stress due to an aial load The direct stress due to the axial

load may be determined by dividing the axial load (W ) by the minimum cross-sectional area of the

screw ( Ac) ie area corresponding to minor or core diameter (dc )

there4Direct stress (tensile or compressive)

W

= Ac

This is only applicable when the axial load is compressive and the unsupported length of thescrew between the load and the nut is short But when the screw is axially loaded in compression and

the unsupported length of the screw between the load and the nut is too great then the design must be

based on column theory assuming suitable end conditions In such cases the cross-sectional area

corresponding to core diameter may be obtained by using Rankine-Gordon formula or JB Johnsonrsquos

formula According to this

Stress induced due to load W

Note In actual practice the core diameter is first obtained by considering the screw under simple compression

and then checked for critical load or buckling load for stability of the screw

2 amporsional shear stress Since the screw is subjected to a twisting moment therefore torsional

shear stress is induced This is obtained by considering the minimum cross-section of the screw We

know that torque transmitted by the screw

or shear stress induced

(d c )3

When the screw is subjected to both direct stress and torsional shear stress then the design mustbe based on maximum shear stress theory according to which maximum shear stress on the minor

diameter section

ma =1

2(Bt or Bc 2 amp 2

It may be noted that when the unsupported length of the screw is short then failure will takeplace when the maximum shear stress is equal to the shear yield strength of the material In this case

shear yield strength

= ma times Factor of safety

3 Shear stress due to aial load The threads of the

screw at the core or root diameter and the threads of the nut

at the major diameter may shear due to the axial load

Assuming that the load is uniformly distributed over the

threads in contact we have

Shear stress for screw

n = Number of threads in engagement

and nt as i-or tant roe indeter-ining the e+cienc and ockingroerties of a screw

dc = Core or root diameter of the screw

do = Outside or major diameter of nut or screw and

t = Thickness or width of thread

4 Bearin pressure In order to reduce wear of the screw and nut the bearing pressure on the

thread surfaces must be within limits In the design of power screws the bearing pressure depends

upon the materials of the screw and nut relative velocity between the nut and screw and the nature of

lubrication Assuming that the load is uniformly distributed over the threads in contact the bearing

pressure on the threads is given by

where

Assuming that a force of 300 N is applied by a person intermittently therefore length of handle

required

= 661 times 103 300 = 2203 mm

Allowing some length for gripping we shall take the length of handle as 2250 mm

A little consideration will show that an excessive force applied at the end of lever will causebending Considering bending effect the maximum bending moment on the handle

M = Force applied times Length of lever

= 300 times 2250 = 675 times 103 N-mm

Let D = Diameter of the handle

Assuming that the material of the handle is same as that of screw therefore taking bending

We know that the bending moment (M)

The height of head (H) is taken as 2D

Now let us check the screw for buckling load

We know that the effective length for the buckling of screw

gt = Lift of screw + Height of nut = H1 + h 2

= 400 + 80 2 = 440 mm

When the screw reaches the maximum lift it can be regarded as a strut whose lower end is fixed

and the load end is free We know that critical load

therefore there is no chance of the screw to buckle

A little consideration will show that the maximum load on the square threaded screw occurs

when the jack is in the bottom position The position of the link =D in the bottom position is shownin Fig 1713 (a)

Let be the angle of inclination of the link =D with the horizontal

From the geometry of the figure we find that

cos = 105 minus 15

110= 08112 or = 351deg

Each nut carries half the total load on the jack and due to this the link =D is subjected to tensionwhile the square threaded screw is under pull as shown in Fig 1713 (b) The magnitude of the pull on

the square threaded screw is given by

4 $esin o lins

Due to the load the links may buckle in two planes at right angles to each other For buckling in

the vertical plane (ie in the plane of the links) the links are considered as hinged at both ends and for

buckling in a plane perpendicular to the vertical plane it is considered as fixed at both ends We know

that load on the link

= F 2 = 2846 2 = 1423 N

Assuming a factor of safety = 5 the links must be designed for a buckling load of

W cr = 1423 times 5 = 7115 N

Let t 1 = Thickness of the link and

b1 = Width of the link

Assuming that the width of the link is three times the thickness of the link ie b1 = 3 t 1 therefore

cross-sectional area of the link A = t 1 times 3t 1 = 3(t 1)2

and moment of inertia of the cross-section of the link

11) Di7erentia and Co-ond ScrewsThere are certain cases in which a very slow movement of the screw is required whereas in other

cases a very fast movement of the screw is needed The slow movement of the screw may be obtained

by using a small pitch of the threads but it results in weak threads The fast movement of the screw

may be obtained by using multiple-start threads but this method requires expensive machning and

the loss of self-locking property In order to overcome these difficulties differential or compound

screws as discussed below are used

equipments then a differential screw is used It consists of two threads of the same hand (ie right

handed or left handed) but of different pitches wound on the same cylinder or different cylinders as

shown in Fig 1714 It may be noted that when the threads are wound on the same cylinder then two

Fig 172A little consideration will show that if one complete turn of a screw thread be imagined to be

unwound from the body of the screw and developed it will form an inclined plane as shown in

Fig 173 (a)

Fig 173

Let p = Pitch of the screw

d = Mean diameter of the screw

lang = Helix angle

Power Screws n 633

P = Effort applied at the circumference of the screw to lift the load

W = Load to be lifted and

prop = Coefficient of friction between the screw and nut

= tan where is the friction angle

From the geometry of the Fig 173 (a) we find that

tan lang = p d

Since the principle on which a screw jack works is similar to that of an inclined plane thereforethe force applied on the circumference of a screw jack may be considered to be horizontal as shown

in Fig 173 (b)

Since the load is being lifted therefore the force of friction (F = propRN ) will act downwards Allthe forces acting on the body are shown in Fig 173 (b)

Resolving the forces along the plane

P cos lang = W sin lang + F = W sin lang + propRN

and resolving the forces perpendicular to the plane

RN = P sin lang + W cos langSubstituting this value of RN in equation (i ) we have

P cos lang = W sin lang + prop (P sin lang + W cos lang)

= W sin lang + prop P sin lang + propW cos lang

(i )

(ii )

or

or

P cos lang ndash prop P sin lang = W sin lang + propW cos langP (cos lang ndash prop sin lang) = W (sin lang + prop cos lang)

1 E+cienc of Sare Threaded Screws

The efficiency of square threaded screws may be defined as the ratio between the ideal effort

(ie the effort required to move the load neglecting friction) to the actual effort ( ie the effort re-

quired to move the load taking friction into account)

We have seen in Art 174 that the effort applied at the circumference of the screw to lift the

load is

P = W tan (lang + ) (i )

where W = Load to be lifted

lang = Helix angle

= Angle of friction and

prop = Coefficient of friction between the screw and nut = tan If there would have been no friction between the screw and the nut then will be equal to zero

The value of effort P0 necessary to raise the load will then be given by the equation

P0 = W tan lang [Substituting = 0 in equation (i )]

there4Efficiency = Ideal effort

Actual effort

P W tan lang tan langP W tan (lang + ) tan (lang + )

This shows that the efficiency of a screw jack is independent of the load raised

In the above expression for efficiency only the screw friction is considered However if the

screw friction and collar friction is taken into account then

We have seen in Art 176 that the efficiency of a square threaded screw depends upon the helix

angle lang and the friction angle The variation of efficiency of a square threaded screw for raising the

load with the helix angle lang is shown in Fig 175 We see that the efficiency of a square threaded screw

increases rapidly upto helix angle of 20deg after which the increase in efficiency is slow The efficiencyis maximum for helix angle between 40 to 45deg

Fig 175 Graph between efficiency and helix angle

When the helix angle further increases say 70deg the efficiency drops This is due to the fact that

the normal thread force becomes large and thus the force of friction and the work of friction becomes

large as compared with the useful work This results in low efficiency

We know that the normal reaction in case of a squarethreaded screw is

RN = W cos langwhere

lang is the helix angle

But in case of Acme or trapezoidal thread the normal re-

action between the screw and nut is increased because the axial

component of this normal reaction must be equal to the axial

load (W )

Consider an Acme or trapezoidal thread as shown in

Fig 176

Let 2983214 = Angle of the Acme thread and

983214 = Semi-angle of the threadFig 176 Acme or trapezonidal threads

The material of screw is usually steel and the nut is made of cast iron gun metal phosphor bronze in order

to keep the wear to a mininum

(ie tan 1) may be substituted in place of prop (ie tan ) Thus for Acme threads

P = W tan (lang + 1)where 1 = Virtual friction angle and tan 1 = prop1

This is only applicable when the axial load is compressive and the unsupported length of thescrew between the load and the nut is short But when the screw is axially loaded in compression and

the unsupported length of the screw between the load and the nut is too great then the design must be

based on column theory assuming suitable end conditions In such cases the cross-sectional area

corresponding to core diameter may be obtained by using Rankine-Gordon formula or JB Johnsonrsquos

Stress induced due to load W

Note In actual practice the core diameter is first obtained by considering the screw under simple compression

and then checked for critical load or buckling load for stability of the screw

2 amporsional shear stress Since the screw is subjected to a twisting moment therefore torsional

shear stress is induced This is obtained by considering the minimum cross-section of the screw We

know that torque transmitted by the screw

When the screw is subjected to both direct stress and torsional shear stress then the design mustbe based on maximum shear stress theory according to which maximum shear stress on the minor

diameter section

ma =1

2(Bt or Bc 2 amp 2

It may be noted that when the unsupported length of the screw is short then failure will takeplace when the maximum shear stress is equal to the shear yield strength of the material In this case

shear yield strength

= ma times Factor of safety

3 Shear stress due to aial load The threads of the

screw at the core or root diameter and the threads of the nut

at the major diameter may shear due to the axial load

Assuming that the load is uniformly distributed over the

threads in contact we have

Shear stress for screw

n = Number of threads in engagement

and nt as i-or tant roe indeter-ining the e+cienc and ockingroerties of a screw

dc = Core or root diameter of the screw

do = Outside or major diameter of nut or screw and

t = Thickness or width of thread

4 Bearin pressure In order to reduce wear of the screw and nut the bearing pressure on the

thread surfaces must be within limits In the design of power screws the bearing pressure depends

upon the materials of the screw and nut relative velocity between the nut and screw and the nature of

lubrication Assuming that the load is uniformly distributed over the threads in contact the bearing

pressure on the threads is given by

The toggle jack may be designed as discussed below

A little consideration will show that the maximum load on the square threaded screw occurs

when the jack is in the bottom position The position of the link =D in the bottom position is shownin Fig 1713 (a)

Let be the angle of inclination of the link =D with the horizontal

From the geometry of the figure we find that

cos = 105 minus 15

110= 08112 or = 351deg

Each nut carries half the total load on the jack and due to this the link =D is subjected to tensionwhile the square threaded screw is under pull as shown in Fig 1713 (b) The magnitude of the pull on

the square threaded screw is given by

F =W W

Since the maximum stresses are within safe limits therefore the design of square threaded

screw is satisfactory

The central length (about 25 mm) of screwed rod is kept equal to core diameter of the screw ie

14 mm Since the toggle jack is operated by means of spanners on both sides of the square threaded

rod therefore the ends of the rod may be reduced to 10 mm square and 15 mm long

4 $esin o lins

Due to the load the links may buckle in two planes at right angles to each other For buckling in

the vertical plane (ie in the plane of the links) the links are considered as hinged at both ends and for

buckling in a plane perpendicular to the vertical plane it is considered as fixed at both ends We know

that load on the link

= F 2 = 2846 2 = 1423 N

Assuming a factor of safety = 5 the links must be designed for a buckling load of

W cr = 1423 times 5 = 7115 N

Let t 1 = Thickness of the link and

b1 = Width of the link

Assuming that the width of the link is three times the thickness of the link ie b1 = 3 t 1 therefore

cross-sectional area of the link A = t 1 times 3t 1 = 3(t 1)2

and moment of inertia of the cross-section of the link

11) Di7erentia and Co-ond ScrewsThere are certain cases in which a very slow movement of the screw is required whereas in other

cases a very fast movement of the screw is needed The slow movement of the screw may be obtained

by using a small pitch of the threads but it results in weak threads The fast movement of the screw

may be obtained by using multiple-start threads but this method requires expensive machning and

the loss of self-locking property In order to overcome these difficulties differential or compound

screws as discussed below are used

1 $ierential screw When a slow movement or fine adjustment is desired in precision

equipments then a differential screw is used It consists of two threads of the same hand (ie right

handed or left handed) but of different pitches wound on the same cylinder or different cylinders as

shown in Fig 1714 It may be noted that when the threads are wound on the same cylinder then two

Fig 172A little consideration will show that if one complete turn of a screw thread be imagined to be

unwound from the body of the screw and developed it will form an inclined plane as shown in

Fig 173 (a)

Let p = Pitch of the screw

d = Mean diameter of the screw

lang = Helix angle

Power Screws n 633

P = Effort applied at the circumference of the screw to lift the load

W = Load to be lifted and

prop = Coefficient of friction between the screw and nut

= tan where is the friction angle

From the geometry of the Fig 173 (a) we find that

tan lang = p d

Since the principle on which a screw jack works is similar to that of an inclined plane thereforethe force applied on the circumference of a screw jack may be considered to be horizontal as shown

in Fig 173 (b)

Since the load is being lifted therefore the force of friction (F = propRN ) will act downwards Allthe forces acting on the body are shown in Fig 173 (b)

Resolving the forces along the plane

P cos lang = W sin lang + F = W sin lang + propRN

and resolving the forces perpendicular to the plane

RN = P sin lang + W cos langSubstituting this value of RN in equation (i ) we have

P cos lang = W sin lang + prop (P sin lang + W cos lang)

1 E+cienc of Sare Threaded Screws

The efficiency of square threaded screws may be defined as the ratio between the ideal effort

(ie the effort required to move the load neglecting friction) to the actual effort ( ie the effort re-

quired to move the load taking friction into account)

We have seen in Art 174 that the effort applied at the circumference of the screw to lift the

load is

P = W tan (lang + ) (i )

where W = Load to be lifted

lang = Helix angle

= Angle of friction and

prop = Coefficient of friction between the screw and nut = tan If there would have been no friction between the screw and the nut then will be equal to zero

The value of effort P0 necessary to raise the load will then be given by the equation

P0 = W tan lang [Substituting = 0 in equation (i )]

there4Efficiency = Ideal effort

Actual effort

P W tan lang tan langP W tan (lang + ) tan (lang + )

This shows that the efficiency of a screw jack is independent of the load raised

In the above expression for efficiency only the screw friction is considered However if the

screw friction and collar friction is taken into account then

We have seen in Art 176 that the efficiency of a square threaded screw depends upon the helix

angle lang and the friction angle The variation of efficiency of a square threaded screw for raising the

load with the helix angle lang is shown in Fig 175 We see that the efficiency of a square threaded screw

increases rapidly upto helix angle of 20deg after which the increase in efficiency is slow The efficiencyis maximum for helix angle between 40 to 45deg

Fig 175 Graph between efficiency and helix angle

When the helix angle further increases say 70deg the efficiency drops This is due to the fact that

the normal thread force becomes large and thus the force of friction and the work of friction becomes

large as compared with the useful work This results in low efficiency

11 Ac-e or Trae5oida Threads

We know that the normal reaction in case of a squarethreaded screw is

RN = W cos langwhere

lang is the helix angle

But in case of Acme or trapezoidal thread the normal re-

action between the screw and nut is increased because the axial

component of this normal reaction must be equal to the axial

load (W )

Consider an Acme or trapezoidal thread as shown in

Fig 176

Let 2983214 = Angle of the Acme thread and

983214 = Semi-angle of the threadFig 176 Acme or trapezonidal threads

The material of screw is usually steel and the nut is made of cast iron gun metal phosphor bronze in order

to keep the wear to a mininum

For Acme threads 2 983214 = 29deg and for trapezoidal threads 2 983214 = 30deg

Power Screws n 643

where prop cos 983214 = prop1 known as virtual coefcient o riction

Notes 1 When coefficient of friction prop1 =

prop

cos 983214is considered then the Acme thread is equivalent to a square

2 All equations of square threaded screw also hold good for Acme threads In case of Acme threads prop1

(ie tan 1) may be substituted in place of prop (ie tan ) Thus for Acme threads

P = W tan (lang + 1)where 1 = Virtual friction angle and tan 1 = prop1

11$ Stresses in Power Screws

A power screw must have adequate strength to withstand axial load and the applied torque

Following types of stresses are induced in the screw

1 $irect tensile or compressive stress due to an aial load The direct stress due to the axial

load may be determined by dividing the axial load (W ) by the minimum cross-sectional area of the

screw ( Ac) ie area corresponding to minor or core diameter (dc )

there4Direct stress (tensile or compressive)

W

= Ac

This is only applicable when the axial load is compressive and the unsupported length of thescrew between the load and the nut is short But when the screw is axially loaded in compression and

the unsupported length of the screw between the load and the nut is too great then the design must be

based on column theory assuming suitable end conditions In such cases the cross-sectional area

corresponding to core diameter may be obtained by using Rankine-Gordon formula or JB Johnsonrsquos

formula According to this

Stress induced due to load W

Note In actual practice the core diameter is first obtained by considering the screw under simple compression

and then checked for critical load or buckling load for stability of the screw

2 amporsional shear stress Since the screw is subjected to a twisting moment therefore torsional

shear stress is induced This is obtained by considering the minimum cross-section of the screw We

know that torque transmitted by the screw

When the screw is subjected to both direct stress and torsional shear stress then the design mustbe based on maximum shear stress theory according to which maximum shear stress on the minor

diameter section

ma =1

2(Bt or Bc 2 amp 2

It may be noted that when the unsupported length of the screw is short then failure will takeplace when the maximum shear stress is equal to the shear yield strength of the material In this case

shear yield strength

= ma times Factor of safety

3 Shear stress due to aial load The threads of the

screw at the core or root diameter and the threads of the nut

at the major diameter may shear due to the axial load

Assuming that the load is uniformly distributed over the

threads in contact we have

Shear stress for screw

dc = Core or root diameter of the screw

do = Outside or major diameter of nut or screw and

t = Thickness or width of thread

4 Bearin pressure In order to reduce wear of the screw and nut the bearing pressure on the

thread surfaces must be within limits In the design of power screws the bearing pressure depends

upon the materials of the screw and nut relative velocity between the nut and screw and the nature of

lubrication Assuming that the load is uniformly distributed over the threads in contact the bearing

pressure on the threads is given by

The various parts of a screw jack are designed as discussed below

$esin o screw or spindle

Let dc = Core diameter of the screw

Since the screw is under compression therefore load (W )

80 times 103 = (dc ) 2 sdot = (dc ) 2 = 7855 (dc ) 2

The diameter of the head (D3) on the top of the screwed rod is usually taken as 175 times the

outside diameter of the screw (do)

there4 D3 = 175 do = 175 times 46 = 805 say 82 mm Ans

The head is provided with two holes at the right angles to receive the handle for rotating the

screw The seat for the cup is made equal to the diameter of head ie 82 mm and it is given chamfer

at the top The cup prevents the load from rotating The cup is fitted to the head with a pin of diameter

D4 = 20 mm The pin remains loose fit in the cup Other dimensions for the cup may be taken asfollows

Height of cup = 50 mm Ans

Thickness of cup = 10 mm Ans

Diameter at the top of cup = 160 mm Ans

Now let us find out the torque required ( 2) to overcome friction at the top of the screw

Assuming that a force of 300 N is applied by a person intermittently therefore length of handle

required

= 661 times 103 300 = 2203 mm

Allowing some length for gripping we shall take the length of handle as 2250 mm

664 n A Textbook of Machine Design

A little consideration will show that an excessive force applied at the end of lever will causebending Considering bending effect the maximum bending moment on the handle

M = Force applied times Length of lever

= 300 times 2250 = 675 times 103 N-mm

Let D = Diameter of the handle

Assuming that the material of the handle is same as that of screw therefore taking bending

We know that the bending moment (M)

Now let us check the screw for buckling load

We know that the effective length for the buckling of screw

gt = Lift of screw + Height of nut = H1 + h 2

= 400 + 80 2 = 440 mm

When the screw reaches the maximum lift it can be regarded as a strut whose lower end is fixed

and the load end is free We know that critical load

(Taking ⌠ = ⌠ et )

Since the critical load is more than the load at which the screw is designed (ie 80 times 103 N)

therefore there is no chance of the screw to buckle

From the geometry of the figure we find that

Each nut carries half the total load on the jack and due to this the link =D is subjected to tensionwhile the square threaded screw is under pull as shown in Fig 1713 (b) The magnitude of the pull on

the square threaded screw is given by

Due to the load the links may buckle in two planes at right angles to each other For buckling in

the vertical plane (ie in the plane of the links) the links are considered as hinged at both ends and for

buckling in a plane perpendicular to the vertical plane it is considered as fixed at both ends We know

that load on the link

Assuming a factor of safety = 5 the links must be designed for a buckling load of

W cr = 1423 times 5 = 7115 N

Let t 1 = Thickness of the link and

b1 = Width of the link

Assuming that the width of the link is three times the thickness of the link ie b1 = 3 t 1 therefore

cross-sectional area of the link A = t 1 times 3t 1 = 3(t 1)2

11) Di7erentia and Co-ond ScrewsThere are certain cases in which a very slow movement of the screw is required whereas in other

cases a very fast movement of the screw is needed The slow movement of the screw may be obtained

by using a small pitch of the threads but it results in weak threads The fast movement of the screw

may be obtained by using multiple-start threads but this method requires expensive machning and

the loss of self-locking property In order to overcome these difficulties differential or compound

screws as discussed below are used

equipments then a differential screw is used It consists of two threads of the same hand (ie right

handed or left handed) but of different pitches wound on the same cylinder or different cylinders as

shown in Fig 1714 It may be noted that when the threads are wound on the same cylinder then two

From the geometry of the Fig 173 (a) we find that

Since the principle on which a screw jack works is similar to that of an inclined plane thereforethe force applied on the circumference of a screw jack may be considered to be horizontal as shown

in Fig 173 (b)

Since the load is being lifted therefore the force of friction (F = propRN ) will act downwards Allthe forces acting on the body are shown in Fig 173 (b)

Resolving the forces along the plane

The efficiency of square threaded screws may be defined as the ratio between the ideal effort

(ie the effort required to move the load neglecting friction) to the actual effort ( ie the effort re-

quired to move the load taking friction into account)

We have seen in Art 174 that the effort applied at the circumference of the screw to lift the

load is

P = W tan (lang + ) (i )

where W = Load to be lifted

lang = Helix angle

= Angle of friction and

prop = Coefficient of friction between the screw and nut = tan If there would have been no friction between the screw and the nut then will be equal to zero

The value of effort P0 necessary to raise the load will then be given by the equation

P0 = W tan lang [Substituting = 0 in equation (i )]

there4Efficiency = Ideal effort

Actual effort

P W tan lang tan langP W tan (lang + ) tan (lang + )

This shows that the efficiency of a screw jack is independent of the load raised

In the above expression for efficiency only the screw friction is considered However if the

screw friction and collar friction is taken into account then

We have seen in Art 176 that the efficiency of a square threaded screw depends upon the helix

angle lang and the friction angle The variation of efficiency of a square threaded screw for raising the

load with the helix angle lang is shown in Fig 175 We see that the efficiency of a square threaded screw

increases rapidly upto helix angle of 20deg after which the increase in efficiency is slow The efficiencyis maximum for helix angle between 40 to 45deg

Fig 175 Graph between efficiency and helix angle

When the helix angle further increases say 70deg the efficiency drops This is due to the fact that

the normal thread force becomes large and thus the force of friction and the work of friction becomes

large as compared with the useful work This results in low efficiency

11 Ac-e or Trae5oida Threads

We know that the normal reaction in case of a squarethreaded screw is

RN = W cos langwhere

lang is the helix angle

But in case of Acme or trapezoidal thread the normal re-

action between the screw and nut is increased because the axial

component of this normal reaction must be equal to the axial

load (W )

Consider an Acme or trapezoidal thread as shown in

Fig 176

Let 2983214 = Angle of the Acme thread and

983214 = Semi-angle of the threadFig 176 Acme or trapezonidal threads

The material of screw is usually steel and the nut is made of cast iron gun metal phosphor bronze in order

to keep the wear to a mininum

For Acme threads 2 983214 = 29deg and for trapezoidal threads 2 983214 = 30deg

Power Screws n 643

where prop cos 983214 = prop1 known as virtual coefcient o riction

Notes 1 When coefficient of friction prop1 =

prop

cos 983214is considered then the Acme thread is equivalent to a square

2 All equations of square threaded screw also hold good for Acme threads In case of Acme threads prop1

(ie tan 1) may be substituted in place of prop (ie tan ) Thus for Acme threads

P = W tan (lang + 1)where 1 = Virtual friction angle and tan 1 = prop1

11$ Stresses in Power Screws

A power screw must have adequate strength to withstand axial load and the applied torque

Following types of stresses are induced in the screw

1 $irect tensile or compressive stress due to an aial load The direct stress due to the axial

load may be determined by dividing the axial load (W ) by the minimum cross-sectional area of the

screw ( Ac) ie area corresponding to minor or core diameter (dc )

there4Direct stress (tensile or compressive)

W

= Ac

This is only applicable when the axial load is compressive and the unsupported length of thescrew between the load and the nut is short But when the screw is axially loaded in compression and

the unsupported length of the screw between the load and the nut is too great then the design must be

based on column theory assuming suitable end conditions In such cases the cross-sectional area

corresponding to core diameter may be obtained by using Rankine-Gordon formula or JB Johnsonrsquos

formula According to this

Stress induced due to load W

Note In actual practice the core diameter is first obtained by considering the screw under simple compression

and then checked for critical load or buckling load for stability of the screw

2 amporsional shear stress Since the screw is subjected to a twisting moment therefore torsional

shear stress is induced This is obtained by considering the minimum cross-section of the screw We

know that torque transmitted by the screw

When the screw is subjected to both direct stress and torsional shear stress then the design mustbe based on maximum shear stress theory according to which maximum shear stress on the minor

diameter section

ma =1

2(Bt or Bc 2 amp 2

It may be noted that when the unsupported length of the screw is short then failure will takeplace when the maximum shear stress is equal to the shear yield strength of the material In this case

shear yield strength

= ma times Factor of safety

3 Shear stress due to aial load The threads of the

screw at the core or root diameter and the threads of the nut

at the major diameter may shear due to the axial load

Assuming that the load is uniformly distributed over the

threads in contact we have

Shear stress for screw

dc = Core or root diameter of the screw

do = Outside or major diameter of nut or screw and

t = Thickness or width of thread

4 Bearin pressure In order to reduce wear of the screw and nut the bearing pressure on the

thread surfaces must be within limits In the design of power screws the bearing pressure depends

upon the materials of the screw and nut relative velocity between the nut and screw and the nature of

lubrication Assuming that the load is uniformly distributed over the threads in contact the bearing

pressure on the threads is given by

The head is provided with two holes at the right angles to receive the handle for rotating the

Allowing some length for gripping we shall take the length of handle as 2250 mm

A little consideration will show that an excessive force applied at the end of lever will causebending Considering bending effect the maximum bending moment on the handle

M = Force applied times Length of lever

Let D = Diameter of the handle

Assuming that the material of the handle is same as that of screw therefore taking bending

11) Di7erentia and Co-ond ScrewsThere are certain cases in which a very slow movement of the screw is required whereas in other

cases a very fast movement of the screw is needed The slow movement of the screw may be obtained

by using a small pitch of the threads but it results in weak threads The fast movement of the screw

may be obtained by using multiple-start threads but this method requires expensive machning and

the loss of self-locking property In order to overcome these difficulties differential or compound

screws as discussed below are used

1 $ierential screw When a slow movement or fine adjustment is desired in precision

equipments then a differential screw is used It consists of two threads of the same hand (ie right

handed or left handed) but of different pitches wound on the same cylinder or different cylinders as

shown in Fig 1714 It may be noted that when the threads are wound on the same cylinder then two

The efficiency of square threaded screws may be defined as the ratio between the ideal effort

(ie the effort required to move the load neglecting friction) to the actual effort ( ie the effort re-

quired to move the load taking friction into account)

We have seen in Art 174 that the effort applied at the circumference of the screw to lift the

load is

P = W tan (lang + ) (i )

where W = Load to be lifted

lang = Helix angle

= Angle of friction and

prop = Coefficient of friction between the screw and nut = tan If there would have been no friction between the screw and the nut then will be equal to zero

The value of effort P0 necessary to raise the load will then be given by the equation

P0 = W tan lang [Substituting = 0 in equation (i )]

there4Efficiency = Ideal effort

Actual effort

P W tan lang tan langP W tan (lang + ) tan (lang + )

This shows that the efficiency of a screw jack is independent of the load raised

In the above expression for efficiency only the screw friction is considered However if the

screw friction and collar friction is taken into account then

We have seen in Art 176 that the efficiency of a square threaded screw depends upon the helix

angle lang and the friction angle The variation of efficiency of a square threaded screw for raising the

load with the helix angle lang is shown in Fig 175 We see that the efficiency of a square threaded screw

increases rapidly upto helix angle of 20deg after which the increase in efficiency is slow The efficiencyis maximum for helix angle between 40 to 45deg

Fig 175 Graph between efficiency and helix angle

When the helix angle further increases say 70deg the efficiency drops This is due to the fact that

the normal thread force becomes large and thus the force of friction and the work of friction becomes

large as compared with the useful work This results in low efficiency

11 Ac-e or Trae5oida Threads

We know that the normal reaction in case of a squarethreaded screw is

RN = W cos langwhere

lang is the helix angle

But in case of Acme or trapezoidal thread the normal re-

action between the screw and nut is increased because the axial

component of this normal reaction must be equal to the axial

load (W )

Consider an Acme or trapezoidal thread as shown in

Fig 176

Let 2983214 = Angle of the Acme thread and

983214 = Semi-angle of the threadFig 176 Acme or trapezonidal threads

The material of screw is usually steel and the nut is made of cast iron gun metal phosphor bronze in order

to keep the wear to a mininum

For Acme threads 2 983214 = 29deg and for trapezoidal threads 2 983214 = 30deg

cos 983214is considered then the Acme thread is equivalent to a square

2 All equations of square threaded screw also hold good for Acme threads In case of Acme threads prop1

(ie tan 1) may be substituted in place of prop (ie tan ) Thus for Acme threads

P = W tan (lang + 1)where 1 = Virtual friction angle and tan 1 = prop1

11$ Stresses in Power Screws

A power screw must have adequate strength to withstand axial load and the applied torque

Following types of stresses are induced in the screw

1 $irect tensile or compressive stress due to an aial load The direct stress due to the axial

load may be determined by dividing the axial load (W ) by the minimum cross-sectional area of the

screw ( Ac) ie area corresponding to minor or core diameter (dc )

there4Direct stress (tensile or compressive)

W

= Ac

This is only applicable when the axial load is compressive and the unsupported length of thescrew between the load and the nut is short But when the screw is axially loaded in compression and

the unsupported length of the screw between the load and the nut is too great then the design must be

based on column theory assuming suitable end conditions In such cases the cross-sectional area

corresponding to core diameter may be obtained by using Rankine-Gordon formula or JB Johnsonrsquos

formula According to this

Stress induced due to load W

Note In actual practice the core diameter is first obtained by considering the screw under simple compression

and then checked for critical load or buckling load for stability of the screw

2 amporsional shear stress Since the screw is subjected to a twisting moment therefore torsional

shear stress is induced This is obtained by considering the minimum cross-section of the screw We

know that torque transmitted by the screw

When the screw is subjected to both direct stress and torsional shear stress then the design mustbe based on maximum shear stress theory according to which maximum shear stress on the minor

diameter section

ma =1

2(Bt or Bc 2 amp 2

It may be noted that when the unsupported length of the screw is short then failure will takeplace when the maximum shear stress is equal to the shear yield strength of the material In this case

shear yield strength

= ma times Factor of safety

3 Shear stress due to aial load The threads of the

screw at the core or root diameter and the threads of the nut

at the major diameter may shear due to the axial load

Assuming that the load is uniformly distributed over the

threads in contact we have

Shear stress for screw

dc = Core or root diameter of the screw

do = Outside or major diameter of nut or screw and

t = Thickness or width of thread

4 Bearin pressure In order to reduce wear of the screw and nut the bearing pressure on the

thread surfaces must be within limits In the design of power screws the bearing pressure depends

upon the materials of the screw and nut relative velocity between the nut and screw and the nature of

lubrication Assuming that the load is uniformly distributed over the threads in contact the bearing

pressure on the threads is given by

The various parts of a screw jack are designed as discussed below

$esin o screw or spindle

The head is provided with two holes at the right angles to receive the handle for rotating the

screw The seat for the cup is made equal to the diameter of head ie 82 mm and it is given chamfer

at the top The cup prevents the load from rotating The cup is fitted to the head with a pin of diameter

D4 = 20 mm The pin remains loose fit in the cup Other dimensions for the cup may be taken asfollows

Height of cup = 50 mm Ans

Thickness of cup = 10 mm Ans

Allowing some length for gripping we shall take the length of handle as 2250 mm

A little consideration will show that an excessive force applied at the end of lever will causebending Considering bending effect the maximum bending moment on the handle

M = Force applied times Length of lever

Let D = Diameter of the handle

Assuming that the material of the handle is same as that of screw therefore taking bending

Due to the load the links may buckle in two planes at right angles to each other For buckling in

the vertical plane (ie in the plane of the links) the links are considered as hinged at both ends and for

buckling in a plane perpendicular to the vertical plane it is considered as fixed at both ends We know

that load on the link

= F 2 = 2846 2 = 1423 N

Assuming a factor of safety = 5 the links must be designed for a buckling load of

W cr = 1423 times 5 = 7115 N

Let t 1 = Thickness of the link and

b1 = Width of the link

Assuming that the width of the link is three times the thickness of the link ie b1 = 3 t 1 therefore

cross-sectional area of the link A = t 1 times 3t 1 = 3(t 1)2

11) Di7erentia and Co-ond ScrewsThere are certain cases in which a very slow movement of the screw is required whereas in other

cases a very fast movement of the screw is needed The slow movement of the screw may be obtained

by using a small pitch of the threads but it results in weak threads The fast movement of the screw

may be obtained by using multiple-start threads but this method requires expensive machning and

the loss of self-locking property In order to overcome these difficulties differential or compound

screws as discussed below are used

equipments then a differential screw is used It consists of two threads of the same hand (ie right

handed or left handed) but of different pitches wound on the same cylinder or different cylinders as

shown in Fig 1714 It may be noted that when the threads are wound on the same cylinder then two

The efficiency of square threaded screws may be defined as the ratio between the ideal effort

(ie the effort required to move the load neglecting friction) to the actual effort ( ie the effort re-

quired to move the load taking friction into account)

We have seen in Art 174 that the effort applied at the circumference of the screw to lift the

load is

P = W tan (lang + ) (i )

where W = Load to be lifted

lang = Helix angle

= Angle of friction and

prop = Coefficient of friction between the screw and nut = tan If there would have been no friction between the screw and the nut then will be equal to zero

The value of effort P0 necessary to raise the load will then be given by the equation

P0 = W tan lang [Substituting = 0 in equation (i )]

there4Efficiency = Ideal effort

Actual effort

P W tan lang tan langP W tan (lang + ) tan (lang + )

This shows that the efficiency of a screw jack is independent of the load raised

In the above expression for efficiency only the screw friction is considered However if the

screw friction and collar friction is taken into account then

We have seen in Art 176 that the efficiency of a square threaded screw depends upon the helix

angle lang and the friction angle The variation of efficiency of a square threaded screw for raising the

load with the helix angle lang is shown in Fig 175 We see that the efficiency of a square threaded screw

increases rapidly upto helix angle of 20deg after which the increase in efficiency is slow The efficiencyis maximum for helix angle between 40 to 45deg

Fig 175 Graph between efficiency and helix angle

When the helix angle further increases say 70deg the efficiency drops This is due to the fact that

the normal thread force becomes large and thus the force of friction and the work of friction becomes

large as compared with the useful work This results in low efficiency

11 Ac-e or Trae5oida Threads

We know that the normal reaction in case of a squarethreaded screw is

RN = W cos langwhere

lang is the helix angle

But in case of Acme or trapezoidal thread the normal re-

action between the screw and nut is increased because the axial

component of this normal reaction must be equal to the axial

load (W )

Consider an Acme or trapezoidal thread as shown in

Fig 176

Let 2983214 = Angle of the Acme thread and

983214 = Semi-angle of the threadFig 176 Acme or trapezonidal threads

The material of screw is usually steel and the nut is made of cast iron gun metal phosphor bronze in order

to keep the wear to a mininum

For Acme threads 2 983214 = 29deg and for trapezoidal threads 2 983214 = 30deg

cos 983214is considered then the Acme thread is equivalent to a square

2 All equations of square threaded screw also hold good for Acme threads In case of Acme threads prop1

(ie tan 1) may be substituted in place of prop (ie tan ) Thus for Acme threads

P = W tan (lang + 1)where 1 = Virtual friction angle and tan 1 = prop1

11$ Stresses in Power Screws

A power screw must have adequate strength to withstand axial load and the applied torque

Following types of stresses are induced in the screw

1 $irect tensile or compressive stress due to an aial load The direct stress due to the axial

load may be determined by dividing the axial load (W ) by the minimum cross-sectional area of the

screw ( Ac) ie area corresponding to minor or core diameter (dc )

there4Direct stress (tensile or compressive)

W

= Ac

This is only applicable when the axial load is compressive and the unsupported length of thescrew between the load and the nut is short But when the screw is axially loaded in compression and

the unsupported length of the screw between the load and the nut is too great then the design must be

based on column theory assuming suitable end conditions In such cases the cross-sectional area

corresponding to core diameter may be obtained by using Rankine-Gordon formula or JB Johnsonrsquos

formula According to this

Stress induced due to load W

Note In actual practice the core diameter is first obtained by considering the screw under simple compression

and then checked for critical load or buckling load for stability of the screw

2 amporsional shear stress Since the screw is subjected to a twisting moment therefore torsional

shear stress is induced This is obtained by considering the minimum cross-section of the screw We

know that torque transmitted by the screw

When the screw is subjected to both direct stress and torsional shear stress then the design mustbe based on maximum shear stress theory according to which maximum shear stress on the minor

diameter section

ma =1

2(Bt or Bc 2 amp 2

It may be noted that when the unsupported length of the screw is short then failure will takeplace when the maximum shear stress is equal to the shear yield strength of the material In this case

shear yield strength

= ma times Factor of safety

3 Shear stress due to aial load The threads of the

screw at the core or root diameter and the threads of the nut

at the major diameter may shear due to the axial load

Assuming that the load is uniformly distributed over the

threads in contact we have

Shear stress for screw

dc = Core or root diameter of the screw

do = Outside or major diameter of nut or screw and

t = Thickness or width of thread

4 Bearin pressure In order to reduce wear of the screw and nut the bearing pressure on the

thread surfaces must be within limits In the design of power screws the bearing pressure depends

upon the materials of the screw and nut relative velocity between the nut and screw and the nature of

lubrication Assuming that the load is uniformly distributed over the threads in contact the bearing

pressure on the threads is given by

The head is provided with two holes at the right angles to receive the handle for rotating the

The central length (about 25 mm) of screwed rod is kept equal to core diameter of the screw ie

rod therefore the ends of the rod may be reduced to 10 mm square and 15 mm long

Due to the load the links may buckle in two planes at right angles to each other For buckling in

the vertical plane (ie in the plane of the links) the links are considered as hinged at both ends and for

buckling in a plane perpendicular to the vertical plane it is considered as fixed at both ends We know

that load on the link

= F 2 = 2846 2 = 1423 N

Assuming a factor of safety = 5 the links must be designed for a buckling load of

W cr = 1423 times 5 = 7115 N

Let t 1 = Thickness of the link and

b1 = Width of the link

Assuming that the width of the link is three times the thickness of the link ie b1 = 3 t 1 therefore

11) Di7erentia and Co-ond ScrewsThere are certain cases in which a very slow movement of the screw is required whereas in other

cases a very fast movement of the screw is needed The slow movement of the screw may be obtained

by using a small pitch of the threads but it results in weak threads The fast movement of the screw

may be obtained by using multiple-start threads but this method requires expensive machning and

the loss of self-locking property In order to overcome these difficulties differential or compound

screws as discussed below are used

equipments then a differential screw is used It consists of two threads of the same hand (ie right

handed or left handed) but of different pitches wound on the same cylinder or different cylinders as

shown in Fig 1714 It may be noted that when the threads are wound on the same cylinder then two

We have seen in Art 176 that the efficiency of a square threaded screw depends upon the helix

angle lang and the friction angle The variation of efficiency of a square threaded screw for raising the

load with the helix angle lang is shown in Fig 175 We see that the efficiency of a square threaded screw

increases rapidly upto helix angle of 20deg after which the increase in efficiency is slow The efficiencyis maximum for helix angle between 40 to 45deg

Fig 175 Graph between efficiency and helix angle

When the helix angle further increases say 70deg the efficiency drops This is due to the fact that

the normal thread force becomes large and thus the force of friction and the work of friction becomes

large as compared with the useful work This results in low efficiency

11 Ac-e or Trae5oida Threads

We know that the normal reaction in case of a squarethreaded screw is

RN = W cos langwhere

lang is the helix angle

But in case of Acme or trapezoidal thread the normal re-

action between the screw and nut is increased because the axial

component of this normal reaction must be equal to the axial

load (W )

Consider an Acme or trapezoidal thread as shown in

Fig 176

Let 2983214 = Angle of the Acme thread and

983214 = Semi-angle of the threadFig 176 Acme or trapezonidal threads

The material of screw is usually steel and the nut is made of cast iron gun metal phosphor bronze in order

to keep the wear to a mininum

For Acme threads 2 983214 = 29deg and for trapezoidal threads 2 983214 = 30deg

Notes 1 When coefficient of friction prop1 =

cos 983214is considered then the Acme thread is equivalent to a square

2 All equations of square threaded screw also hold good for Acme threads In case of Acme threads prop1

(ie tan 1) may be substituted in place of prop (ie tan ) Thus for Acme threads

P = W tan (lang + 1)where 1 = Virtual friction angle and tan 1 = prop1

11$ Stresses in Power Screws

A power screw must have adequate strength to withstand axial load and the applied torque

Following types of stresses are induced in the screw

1 $irect tensile or compressive stress due to an aial load The direct stress due to the axial

load may be determined by dividing the axial load (W ) by the minimum cross-sectional area of the

screw ( Ac) ie area corresponding to minor or core diameter (dc )

there4Direct stress (tensile or compressive)

W

= Ac

This is only applicable when the axial load is compressive and the unsupported length of thescrew between the load and the nut is short But when the screw is axially loaded in compression and

the unsupported length of the screw between the load and the nut is too great then the design must be

based on column theory assuming suitable end conditions In such cases the cross-sectional area

corresponding to core diameter may be obtained by using Rankine-Gordon formula or JB Johnsonrsquos

formula According to this

Stress induced due to load W

Note In actual practice the core diameter is first obtained by considering the screw under simple compression

and then checked for critical load or buckling load for stability of the screw

2 amporsional shear stress Since the screw is subjected to a twisting moment therefore torsional

shear stress is induced This is obtained by considering the minimum cross-section of the screw We

know that torque transmitted by the screw

When the screw is subjected to both direct stress and torsional shear stress then the design mustbe based on maximum shear stress theory according to which maximum shear stress on the minor

diameter section

ma =1

2(Bt or Bc 2 amp 2

It may be noted that when the unsupported length of the screw is short then failure will takeplace when the maximum shear stress is equal to the shear yield strength of the material In this case

shear yield strength

= ma times Factor of safety

3 Shear stress due to aial load The threads of the

screw at the core or root diameter and the threads of the nut

at the major diameter may shear due to the axial load

Assuming that the load is uniformly distributed over the

threads in contact we have

Shear stress for screw

dc = Core or root diameter of the screw

do = Outside or major diameter of nut or screw and

t = Thickness or width of thread

4 Bearin pressure In order to reduce wear of the screw and nut the bearing pressure on the

thread surfaces must be within limits In the design of power screws the bearing pressure depends

upon the materials of the screw and nut relative velocity between the nut and screw and the nature of

lubrication Assuming that the load is uniformly distributed over the threads in contact the bearing

pressure on the threads is given by

The head is provided with two holes at the right angles to receive the handle for rotating the

Due to the load the links may buckle in two planes at right angles to each other For buckling in

the vertical plane (ie in the plane of the links) the links are considered as hinged at both ends and for

buckling in a plane perpendicular to the vertical plane it is considered as fixed at both ends We know

that load on the link

= F 2 = 2846 2 = 1423 N

Assuming a factor of safety = 5 the links must be designed for a buckling load of

W cr = 1423 times 5 = 7115 N

Let t 1 = Thickness of the link and

b1 = Width of the link

Assuming that the width of the link is three times the thickness of the link ie b1 = 3 t 1 therefore

cross-sectional area of the link A = t 1 times 3t 1 = 3(t 1)2

11) Di7erentia and Co-ond ScrewsThere are certain cases in which a very slow movement of the screw is required whereas in other

cases a very fast movement of the screw is needed The slow movement of the screw may be obtained

by using a small pitch of the threads but it results in weak threads The fast movement of the screw

may be obtained by using multiple-start threads but this method requires expensive machning and

the loss of self-locking property In order to overcome these difficulties differential or compound

screws as discussed below are used

1 $ierential screw When a slow movement or fine adjustment is desired in precision

equipments then a differential screw is used It consists of two threads of the same hand (ie right

handed or left handed) but of different pitches wound on the same cylinder or different cylinders as

shown in Fig 1714 It may be noted that when the threads are wound on the same cylinder then two

other by a distance equal to the difference of the pitches

We have seen in Art 176 that the efficiency of a square threaded screw depends upon the helix

angle lang and the friction angle The variation of efficiency of a square threaded screw for raising the

load with the helix angle lang is shown in Fig 175 We see that the efficiency of a square threaded screw

increases rapidly upto helix angle of 20deg after which the increase in efficiency is slow The efficiencyis maximum for helix angle between 40 to 45deg

Fig 175 Graph between efficiency and helix angle

When the helix angle further increases say 70deg the efficiency drops This is due to the fact that

the normal thread force becomes large and thus the force of friction and the work of friction becomes

large as compared with the useful work This results in low efficiency

11 Ac-e or Trae5oida Threads

We know that the normal reaction in case of a squarethreaded screw is

RN = W cos langwhere

lang is the helix angle

But in case of Acme or trapezoidal thread the normal re-

action between the screw and nut is increased because the axial

component of this normal reaction must be equal to the axial

load (W )

Consider an Acme or trapezoidal thread as shown in

Fig 176

Let 2983214 = Angle of the Acme thread and

983214 = Semi-angle of the threadFig 176 Acme or trapezonidal threads

The material of screw is usually steel and the nut is made of cast iron gun metal phosphor bronze in order

to keep the wear to a mininum

For Acme threads 2 983214 = 29deg and for trapezoidal threads 2 983214 = 30deg

Power Screws n 643

where prop cos 983214 = prop1 known as virtual coefcient o riction

Notes 1 When coefficient of friction prop1 =

prop

cos 983214is considered then the Acme thread is equivalent to a square

2 All equations of square threaded screw also hold good for Acme threads In case of Acme threads prop1

(ie tan 1) may be substituted in place of prop (ie tan ) Thus for Acme threads

P = W tan (lang + 1)where 1 = Virtual friction angle and tan 1 = prop1

11$ Stresses in Power Screws

A power screw must have adequate strength to withstand axial load and the applied torque

Following types of stresses are induced in the screw

1 $irect tensile or compressive stress due to an aial load The direct stress due to the axial

load may be determined by dividing the axial load (W ) by the minimum cross-sectional area of the

screw ( Ac) ie area corresponding to minor or core diameter (dc )

there4Direct stress (tensile or compressive)

W

= Ac

This is only applicable when the axial load is compressive and the unsupported length of thescrew between the load and the nut is short But when the screw is axially loaded in compression and

the unsupported length of the screw between the load and the nut is too great then the design must be

based on column theory assuming suitable end conditions In such cases the cross-sectional area

corresponding to core diameter may be obtained by using Rankine-Gordon formula or JB Johnsonrsquos

formula According to this

Stress induced due to load W

Note In actual practice the core diameter is first obtained by considering the screw under simple compression

and then checked for critical load or buckling load for stability of the screw

shear stress is induced This is obtained by considering the minimum cross-section of the screw We

know that torque transmitted by the screw

When the screw is subjected to both direct stress and torsional shear stress then the design mustbe based on maximum shear stress theory according to which maximum shear stress on the minor

diameter section

ma =1

2(Bt or Bc 2 amp 2

It may be noted that when the unsupported length of the screw is short then failure will takeplace when the maximum shear stress is equal to the shear yield strength of the material In this case

shear yield strength

= ma times Factor of safety

3 Shear stress due to aial load The threads of the

screw at the core or root diameter and the threads of the nut

at the major diameter may shear due to the axial load

Assuming that the load is uniformly distributed over the

threads in contact we have

Shear stress for screw

dc = Core or root diameter of the screw

do = Outside or major diameter of nut or screw and

t = Thickness or width of thread

4 Bearin pressure In order to reduce wear of the screw and nut the bearing pressure on the

thread surfaces must be within limits In the design of power screws the bearing pressure depends

upon the materials of the screw and nut relative velocity between the nut and screw and the nature of

lubrication Assuming that the load is uniformly distributed over the threads in contact the bearing

pressure on the threads is given by

The various parts of a screw jack are designed as discussed below

The head is provided with two holes at the right angles to receive the handle for rotating the

screw The seat for the cup is made equal to the diameter of head ie 82 mm and it is given chamfer

at the top The cup prevents the load from rotating The cup is fitted to the head with a pin of diameter

D4 = 20 mm The pin remains loose fit in the cup Other dimensions for the cup may be taken asfollows

Height of cup = 50 mm Ans

Thickness of cup = 10 mm Ans

Assuming that a force of 300 N is applied by a person intermittently therefore length of handle

Allowing some length for gripping we shall take the length of handle as 2250 mm

A little consideration will show that an excessive force applied at the end of lever will causebending Considering bending effect the maximum bending moment on the handle

M = Force applied times Length of lever

Let D = Diameter of the handle

Assuming that the material of the handle is same as that of screw therefore taking bending

Now let us check the screw for buckling load

We know that the effective length for the buckling of screw

When the screw reaches the maximum lift it can be regarded as a strut whose lower end is fixed

therefore there is no chance of the screw to buckle

Due to the load the links may buckle in two planes at right angles to each other For buckling in

the vertical plane (ie in the plane of the links) the links are considered as hinged at both ends and for

buckling in a plane perpendicular to the vertical plane it is considered as fixed at both ends We know

that load on the link

Assuming a factor of safety = 5 the links must be designed for a buckling load of

Let t 1 = Thickness of the link and

b1 = Width of the link

Assuming that the width of the link is three times the thickness of the link ie b1 = 3 t 1 therefore

11) Di7erentia and Co-ond ScrewsThere are certain cases in which a very slow movement of the screw is required whereas in other

cases a very fast movement of the screw is needed The slow movement of the screw may be obtained

by using a small pitch of the threads but it results in weak threads The fast movement of the screw

may be obtained by using multiple-start threads but this method requires expensive machning and

the loss of self-locking property In order to overcome these difficulties differential or compound

screws as discussed below are used

equipments then a differential screw is used It consists of two threads of the same hand (ie right

handed or left handed) but of different pitches wound on the same cylinder or different cylinders as

We have seen in Art 176 that the efficiency of a square threaded screw depends upon the helix

angle lang and the friction angle The variation of efficiency of a square threaded screw for raising the

load with the helix angle lang is shown in Fig 175 We see that the efficiency of a square threaded screw

increases rapidly upto helix angle of 20deg after which the increase in efficiency is slow The efficiencyis maximum for helix angle between 40 to 45deg

Fig 175 Graph between efficiency and helix angle

When the helix angle further increases say 70deg the efficiency drops This is due to the fact that

the normal thread force becomes large and thus the force of friction and the work of friction becomes

large as compared with the useful work This results in low efficiency

The coefficient of friction depends upon various factors like material of screw and nut work-

manship in cutting screw quality of lubrication unit bearing pressure and the rubbing speeds The

value of coefficient of friction does not vary much with different combination of material load or

rubbing speed except under starting conditions The coefficient of friction with good lubrication and

average workmanship may be assumed between 010 and 015 The various values for coefficient of friction for steel screw and cast iron or bronze nut under different conditions are shown in the follow-

11 Ac-e or Trae5oida Threads

We know that the normal reaction in case of a squarethreaded screw is

RN = W cos langwhere

lang is the helix angle

But in case of Acme or trapezoidal thread the normal re-

action between the screw and nut is increased because the axial

component of this normal reaction must be equal to the axial

load (W )

Consider an Acme or trapezoidal thread as shown in

Fig 176

Let 2983214 = Angle of the Acme thread and

983214 = Semi-angle of the threadFig 176 Acme or trapezonidal threads

The material of screw is usually steel and the nut is made of cast iron gun metal phosphor bronze in order

to keep the wear to a mininum

For Acme threads 2 983214 = 29deg and for trapezoidal threads 2 983214 = 30deg

Power Screws n 643

where prop cos 983214 = prop1 known as virtual coefcient o riction

Notes 1 When coefficient of friction prop1 =

prop

cos 983214is considered then the Acme thread is equivalent to a square

2 All equations of square threaded screw also hold good for Acme threads In case of Acme threads prop1

(ie tan 1) may be substituted in place of prop (ie tan ) Thus for Acme threads

P = W tan (lang + 1)where 1 = Virtual friction angle and tan 1 = prop1

11$ Stresses in Power Screws

A power screw must have adequate strength to withstand axial load and the applied torque

Following types of stresses are induced in the screw

1 $irect tensile or compressive stress due to an aial load The direct stress due to the axial

load may be determined by dividing the axial load (W ) by the minimum cross-sectional area of the

screw ( Ac) ie area corresponding to minor or core diameter (dc )

there4Direct stress (tensile or compressive)

W

= Ac

This is only applicable when the axial load is compressive and the unsupported length of thescrew between the load and the nut is short But when the screw is axially loaded in compression and

the unsupported length of the screw between the load and the nut is too great then the design must be

based on column theory assuming suitable end conditions In such cases the cross-sectional area

corresponding to core diameter may be obtained by using Rankine-Gordon formula or JB Johnsonrsquos

formula According to this

Stress induced due to load W

Note In actual practice the core diameter is first obtained by considering the screw under simple compression

and then checked for critical load or buckling load for stability of the screw

2 amporsional shear stress Since the screw is subjected to a twisting moment therefore torsional

shear stress is induced This is obtained by considering the minimum cross-section of the screw We

know that torque transmitted by the screw

(d c )3

When the screw is subjected to both direct stress and torsional shear stress then the design mustbe based on maximum shear stress theory according to which maximum shear stress on the minor

diameter section

ma =1

2(Bt or Bc 2 amp 2

It may be noted that when the unsupported length of the screw is short then failure will takeplace when the maximum shear stress is equal to the shear yield strength of the material In this case

shear yield strength

= ma times Factor of safety

3 Shear stress due to aial load The threads of the

screw at the core or root diameter and the threads of the nut

at the major diameter may shear due to the axial load

Assuming that the load is uniformly distributed over the

threads in contact we have

Shear stress for screw

n = Number of threads in engagement

and nt as i-or tant roe indeter-ining the e+cienc and ockingroerties of a screw

dc = Core or root diameter of the screw

do = Outside or major diameter of nut or screw and

t = Thickness or width of thread

4 Bearin pressure In order to reduce wear of the screw and nut the bearing pressure on the

thread surfaces must be within limits In the design of power screws the bearing pressure depends

upon the materials of the screw and nut relative velocity between the nut and screw and the nature of

lubrication Assuming that the load is uniformly distributed over the threads in contact the bearing

pressure on the threads is given by

where

The diameter of the head (D3) on the top of the screwed rod is usually taken as 175 times the

outside diameter of the screw (do)

there4 D3 = 175 do = 175 times 46 = 805 say 82 mm Ans

The head is provided with two holes at the right angles to receive the handle for rotating the

screw The seat for the cup is made equal to the diameter of head ie 82 mm and it is given chamfer

at the top The cup prevents the load from rotating The cup is fitted to the head with a pin of diameter

D4 = 20 mm The pin remains loose fit in the cup Other dimensions for the cup may be taken asfollows

Height of cup = 50 mm Ans

Thickness of cup = 10 mm Ans

Diameter at the top of cup = 160 mm Ans

Now let us find out the torque required ( 2) to overcome friction at the top of the screw

Assuming that a force of 300 N is applied by a person intermittently therefore length of handle

required

= 661 times 103 300 = 2203 mm

Allowing some length for gripping we shall take the length of handle as 2250 mm

A little consideration will show that an excessive force applied at the end of lever will causebending Considering bending effect the maximum bending moment on the handle

M = Force applied times Length of lever

= 300 times 2250 = 675 times 103 N-mm

Let D = Diameter of the handle

Assuming that the material of the handle is same as that of screw therefore taking bending

We know that the bending moment (M)

The height of head (H) is taken as 2D

Now let us check the screw for buckling load

We know that the effective length for the buckling of screw

gt = Lift of screw + Height of nut = H1 + h 2

= 400 + 80 2 = 440 mm

When the screw reaches the maximum lift it can be regarded as a strut whose lower end is fixed

and the load end is free We know that critical load

therefore there is no chance of the screw to buckle

A little consideration will show that the maximum load on the square threaded screw occurs

when the jack is in the bottom position The position of the link =D in the bottom position is shownin Fig 1713 (a)

From the geometry of the figure we find that

cos = 105 minus 15

110= 08112 or = 351deg

Each nut carries half the total load on the jack and due to this the link =D is subjected to tensionwhile the square threaded screw is under pull as shown in Fig 1713 (b) The magnitude of the pull on

the square threaded screw is given by

4 $esin o lins

Due to the load the links may buckle in two planes at right angles to each other For buckling in

the vertical plane (ie in the plane of the links) the links are considered as hinged at both ends and for

buckling in a plane perpendicular to the vertical plane it is considered as fixed at both ends We know

that load on the link

= F 2 = 2846 2 = 1423 N

Assuming a factor of safety = 5 the links must be designed for a buckling load of

W cr = 1423 times 5 = 7115 N

Let t 1 = Thickness of the link and

b1 = Width of the link

Assuming that the width of the link is three times the thickness of the link ie b1 = 3 t 1 therefore

cross-sectional area of the link A = t 1 times 3t 1 = 3(t 1)2

11) Di7erentia and Co-ond ScrewsThere are certain cases in which a very slow movement of the screw is required whereas in other

cases a very fast movement of the screw is needed The slow movement of the screw may be obtained

by using a small pitch of the threads but it results in weak threads The fast movement of the screw

may be obtained by using multiple-start threads but this method requires expensive machning and

the loss of self-locking property In order to overcome these difficulties differential or compound

screws as discussed below are used

equipments then a differential screw is used It consists of two threads of the same hand (ie right

handed or left handed) but of different pitches wound on the same cylinder or different cylinders as

We have seen in Art 176 that the efficiency of a square threaded screw depends upon the helix

angle lang and the friction angle The variation of efficiency of a square threaded screw for raising the

load with the helix angle lang is shown in Fig 175 We see that the efficiency of a square threaded screw

increases rapidly upto helix angle of 20deg after which the increase in efficiency is slow The efficiencyis maximum for helix angle between 40 to 45deg

Fig 175 Graph between efficiency and helix angle

When the helix angle further increases say 70deg the efficiency drops This is due to the fact that

the normal thread force becomes large and thus the force of friction and the work of friction becomes

large as compared with the useful work This results in low efficiency

11 Ac-e or Trae5oida Threads

We know that the normal reaction in case of a squarethreaded screw is

RN = W cos langwhere

lang is the helix angle

But in case of Acme or trapezoidal thread the normal re-

action between the screw and nut is increased because the axial

component of this normal reaction must be equal to the axial

load (W )

Consider an Acme or trapezoidal thread as shown in

Fig 176

Let 2983214 = Angle of the Acme thread and

983214 = Semi-angle of the threadFig 176 Acme or trapezonidal threads

The material of screw is usually steel and the nut is made of cast iron gun metal phosphor bronze in order

to keep the wear to a mininum

2 All equations of square threaded screw also hold good for Acme threads In case of Acme threads prop1

(ie tan 1) may be substituted in place of prop (ie tan ) Thus for Acme threads

P = W tan (lang + 1)where 1 = Virtual friction angle and tan 1 = prop1

11$ Stresses in Power Screws

A power screw must have adequate strength to withstand axial load and the applied torque

Following types of stresses are induced in the screw

1 $irect tensile or compressive stress due to an aial load The direct stress due to the axial

load may be determined by dividing the axial load (W ) by the minimum cross-sectional area of the

screw ( Ac) ie area corresponding to minor or core diameter (dc )

there4Direct stress (tensile or compressive)

W

= Ac

This is only applicable when the axial load is compressive and the unsupported length of thescrew between the load and the nut is short But when the screw is axially loaded in compression and

the unsupported length of the screw between the load and the nut is too great then the design must be

based on column theory assuming suitable end conditions In such cases the cross-sectional area

corresponding to core diameter may be obtained by using Rankine-Gordon formula or JB Johnsonrsquos

formula According to this

Note In actual practice the core diameter is first obtained by considering the screw under simple compression

shear stress is induced This is obtained by considering the minimum cross-section of the screw We

When the screw is subjected to both direct stress and torsional shear stress then the design mustbe based on maximum shear stress theory according to which maximum shear stress on the minor

It may be noted that when the unsupported length of the screw is short then failure will takeplace when the maximum shear stress is equal to the shear yield strength of the material In this case

shear yield strength

3 Shear stress due to aial load The threads of the

screw at the core or root diameter and the threads of the nut

at the major diameter may shear due to the axial load

Assuming that the load is uniformly distributed over the

threads in contact we have

do = Outside or major diameter of nut or screw and

4 Bearin pressure In order to reduce wear of the screw and nut the bearing pressure on the

thread surfaces must be within limits In the design of power screws the bearing pressure depends

upon the materials of the screw and nut relative velocity between the nut and screw and the nature of

lubrication Assuming that the load is uniformly distributed over the threads in contact the bearing

pressure on the threads is given by

The central length (about 25 mm) of screwed rod is kept equal to core diameter of the screw ie

4 $esin o lins

Due to the load the links may buckle in two planes at right angles to each other For buckling in

the vertical plane (ie in the plane of the links) the links are considered as hinged at both ends and for

buckling in a plane perpendicular to the vertical plane it is considered as fixed at both ends We know

that load on the link

= F 2 = 2846 2 = 1423 N

Assuming a factor of safety = 5 the links must be designed for a buckling load of

W cr = 1423 times 5 = 7115 N

Let t 1 = Thickness of the link and

b1 = Width of the link

Assuming that the width of the link is three times the thickness of the link ie b1 = 3 t 1 therefore

cross-sectional area of the link A = t 1 times 3t 1 = 3(t 1)2

and moment of inertia of the cross-section of the link

11) Di7erentia and Co-ond ScrewsThere are certain cases in which a very slow movement of the screw is required whereas in other

cases a very fast movement of the screw is needed The slow movement of the screw may be obtained

by using a small pitch of the threads but it results in weak threads The fast movement of the screw

may be obtained by using multiple-start threads but this method requires expensive machning and

the loss of self-locking property In order to overcome these difficulties differential or compound

screws as discussed below are used

equipments then a differential screw is used It consists of two threads of the same hand (ie right

handed or left handed) but of different pitches wound on the same cylinder or different cylinders as

shown in Fig 1714 It may be noted that when the threads are wound on the same cylinder then two

increases rapidly upto helix angle of 20deg after which the increase in efficiency is slow The efficiencyis maximum for helix angle between 40 to 45deg

Fig 175 Graph between efficiency and helix angle

When the helix angle further increases say 70deg the efficiency drops This is due to the fact that

the normal thread force becomes large and thus the force of friction and the work of friction becomes

large as compared with the useful work This results in low efficiency

The coefficient of friction depends upon various factors like material of screw and nut work-

manship in cutting screw quality of lubrication unit bearing pressure and the rubbing speeds The

value of coefficient of friction does not vary much with different combination of material load or

rubbing speed except under starting conditions The coefficient of friction with good lubrication and

average workmanship may be assumed between 010 and 015 The various values for coefficient of friction for steel screw and cast iron or bronze nut under different conditions are shown in the follow-

11 Ac-e or Trae5oida Threads

We know that the normal reaction in case of a squarethreaded screw is

RN = W cos langwhere

lang is the helix angle

But in case of Acme or trapezoidal thread the normal re-

action between the screw and nut is increased because the axial

component of this normal reaction must be equal to the axial

load (W )

Consider an Acme or trapezoidal thread as shown in

Fig 176

Let 2983214 = Angle of the Acme thread and

983214 = Semi-angle of the threadFig 176 Acme or trapezonidal threads

The material of screw is usually steel and the nut is made of cast iron gun metal phosphor bronze in order

to keep the wear to a mininum

For Acme threads 2 983214 = 29deg and for trapezoidal threads 2 983214 = 30deg

Power Screws n 643

where prop cos 983214 = prop1 known as virtual coefcient o riction

Notes 1 When coefficient of friction prop1 =

prop

cos 983214is considered then the Acme thread is equivalent to a square

2 All equations of square threaded screw also hold good for Acme threads In case of Acme threads prop1

(ie tan 1) may be substituted in place of prop (ie tan ) Thus for Acme threads

P = W tan (lang + 1)where 1 = Virtual friction angle and tan 1 = prop1

11$ Stresses in Power Screws

A power screw must have adequate strength to withstand axial load and the applied torque

Following types of stresses are induced in the screw

1 $irect tensile or compressive stress due to an aial load The direct stress due to the axial

load may be determined by dividing the axial load (W ) by the minimum cross-sectional area of the

screw ( Ac) ie area corresponding to minor or core diameter (dc )

there4Direct stress (tensile or compressive)

W

= Ac

This is only applicable when the axial load is compressive and the unsupported length of thescrew between the load and the nut is short But when the screw is axially loaded in compression and

the unsupported length of the screw between the load and the nut is too great then the design must be

based on column theory assuming suitable end conditions In such cases the cross-sectional area

corresponding to core diameter may be obtained by using Rankine-Gordon formula or JB Johnsonrsquos

formula According to this

Stress induced due to load W

Note In actual practice the core diameter is first obtained by considering the screw under simple compression

and then checked for critical load or buckling load for stability of the screw

2 amporsional shear stress Since the screw is subjected to a twisting moment therefore torsional

shear stress is induced This is obtained by considering the minimum cross-section of the screw We

know that torque transmitted by the screw

When the screw is subjected to both direct stress and torsional shear stress then the design mustbe based on maximum shear stress theory according to which maximum shear stress on the minor

diameter section

ma =1

2(Bt or Bc 2 amp 2

It may be noted that when the unsupported length of the screw is short then failure will takeplace when the maximum shear stress is equal to the shear yield strength of the material In this case

shear yield strength

= ma times Factor of safety

3 Shear stress due to aial load The threads of the

screw at the core or root diameter and the threads of the nut

at the major diameter may shear due to the axial load

Assuming that the load is uniformly distributed over the

threads in contact we have

Shear stress for screw

dc = Core or root diameter of the screw

do = Outside or major diameter of nut or screw and

t = Thickness or width of thread

4 Bearin pressure In order to reduce wear of the screw and nut the bearing pressure on the

thread surfaces must be within limits In the design of power screws the bearing pressure depends

upon the materials of the screw and nut relative velocity between the nut and screw and the nature of

lubrication Assuming that the load is uniformly distributed over the threads in contact the bearing

pressure on the threads is given by

The diameter of the head (D3) on the top of the screwed rod is usually taken as 175 times the

outside diameter of the screw (do)

there4 D3 = 175 do = 175 times 46 = 805 say 82 mm Ans

The head is provided with two holes at the right angles to receive the handle for rotating the

screw The seat for the cup is made equal to the diameter of head ie 82 mm and it is given chamfer

at the top The cup prevents the load from rotating The cup is fitted to the head with a pin of diameter

D4 = 20 mm The pin remains loose fit in the cup Other dimensions for the cup may be taken asfollows

Height of cup = 50 mm Ans

Thickness of cup = 10 mm Ans

Diameter at the top of cup = 160 mm Ans

Assuming that a force of 300 N is applied by a person intermittently therefore length of handle

required

= 661 times 103 300 = 2203 mm

Allowing some length for gripping we shall take the length of handle as 2250 mm

A little consideration will show that an excessive force applied at the end of lever will causebending Considering bending effect the maximum bending moment on the handle

M = Force applied times Length of lever

= 300 times 2250 = 675 times 103 N-mm

Let D = Diameter of the handle

Assuming that the material of the handle is same as that of screw therefore taking bending

We know that the bending moment (M)

Now let us check the screw for buckling load

We know that the effective length for the buckling of screw

gt = Lift of screw + Height of nut = H1 + h 2

= 400 + 80 2 = 440 mm

When the screw reaches the maximum lift it can be regarded as a strut whose lower end is fixed

and the load end is free We know that critical load

(Taking ⌠ = ⌠ et )

Since the critical load is more than the load at which the screw is designed (ie 80 times 103 N)

therefore there is no chance of the screw to buckle

A little consideration will show that the maximum load on the square threaded screw occurs

when the jack is in the bottom position The position of the link =D in the bottom position is shownin Fig 1713 (a)

From the geometry of the figure we find that

cos = 105 minus 15

110= 08112 or = 351deg

Each nut carries half the total load on the jack and due to this the link =D is subjected to tensionwhile the square threaded screw is under pull as shown in Fig 1713 (b) The magnitude of the pull on

the square threaded screw is given by

4 $esin o lins

Due to the load the links may buckle in two planes at right angles to each other For buckling in

the vertical plane (ie in the plane of the links) the links are considered as hinged at both ends and for

buckling in a plane perpendicular to the vertical plane it is considered as fixed at both ends We know

that load on the link

= F 2 = 2846 2 = 1423 N

Assuming a factor of safety = 5 the links must be designed for a buckling load of

W cr = 1423 times 5 = 7115 N

Let t 1 = Thickness of the link and

b1 = Width of the link

Assuming that the width of the link is three times the thickness of the link ie b1 = 3 t 1 therefore

cross-sectional area of the link A = t 1 times 3t 1 = 3(t 1)2

11) Di7erentia and Co-ond ScrewsThere are certain cases in which a very slow movement of the screw is required whereas in other

cases a very fast movement of the screw is needed The slow movement of the screw may be obtained

by using a small pitch of the threads but it results in weak threads The fast movement of the screw

may be obtained by using multiple-start threads but this method requires expensive machning and

the loss of self-locking property In order to overcome these difficulties differential or compound

screws as discussed below are used

equipments then a differential screw is used It consists of two threads of the same hand (ie right

handed or left handed) but of different pitches wound on the same cylinder or different cylinders as

11 Ac-e or Trae5oida Threads

We know that the normal reaction in case of a squarethreaded screw is

RN = W cos langwhere

lang is the helix angle

But in case of Acme or trapezoidal thread the normal re-

action between the screw and nut is increased because the axial

component of this normal reaction must be equal to the axial

load (W )

Consider an Acme or trapezoidal thread as shown in

Fig 176

Let 2983214 = Angle of the Acme thread and

983214 = Semi-angle of the threadFig 176 Acme or trapezonidal threads

The material of screw is usually steel and the nut is made of cast iron gun metal phosphor bronze in order

to keep the wear to a mininum

cos 983214is considered then the Acme thread is equivalent to a square

2 All equations of square threaded screw also hold good for Acme threads In case of Acme threads prop1

(ie tan 1) may be substituted in place of prop (ie tan ) Thus for Acme threads

P = W tan (lang + 1)where 1 = Virtual friction angle and tan 1 = prop1

11$ Stresses in Power Screws

A power screw must have adequate strength to withstand axial load and the applied torque

Following types of stresses are induced in the screw

1 $irect tensile or compressive stress due to an aial load The direct stress due to the axial

load may be determined by dividing the axial load (W ) by the minimum cross-sectional area of the

screw ( Ac) ie area corresponding to minor or core diameter (dc )

there4Direct stress (tensile or compressive)

W

= Ac

This is only applicable when the axial load is compressive and the unsupported length of thescrew between the load and the nut is short But when the screw is axially loaded in compression and

the unsupported length of the screw between the load and the nut is too great then the design must be

based on column theory assuming suitable end conditions In such cases the cross-sectional area

corresponding to core diameter may be obtained by using Rankine-Gordon formula or JB Johnsonrsquos

formula According to this

Note In actual practice the core diameter is first obtained by considering the screw under simple compression

and then checked for critical load or buckling load for stability of the screw

2 amporsional shear stress Since the screw is subjected to a twisting moment therefore torsional

shear stress is induced This is obtained by considering the minimum cross-section of the screw We

know that torque transmitted by the screw

When the screw is subjected to both direct stress and torsional shear stress then the design mustbe based on maximum shear stress theory according to which maximum shear stress on the minor

diameter section

ma =1

2(Bt or Bc 2 amp 2

It may be noted that when the unsupported length of the screw is short then failure will takeplace when the maximum shear stress is equal to the shear yield strength of the material In this case

shear yield strength

= ma times Factor of safety

3 Shear stress due to aial load The threads of the

screw at the core or root diameter and the threads of the nut

at the major diameter may shear due to the axial load

Assuming that the load is uniformly distributed over the

threads in contact we have

Shear stress for screw

dc = Core or root diameter of the screw

do = Outside or major diameter of nut or screw and

t = Thickness or width of thread

4 Bearin pressure In order to reduce wear of the screw and nut the bearing pressure on the

thread surfaces must be within limits In the design of power screws the bearing pressure depends

upon the materials of the screw and nut relative velocity between the nut and screw and the nature of

lubrication Assuming that the load is uniformly distributed over the threads in contact the bearing

pressure on the threads is given by

The head is provided with two holes at the right angles to receive the handle for rotating the

Let D = Diameter of the handle

11) Di7erentia and Co-ond ScrewsThere are certain cases in which a very slow movement of the screw is required whereas in other

cases a very fast movement of the screw is needed The slow movement of the screw may be obtained

by using a small pitch of the threads but it results in weak threads The fast movement of the screw

may be obtained by using multiple-start threads but this method requires expensive machning and

the loss of self-locking property In order to overcome these difficulties differential or compound

screws as discussed below are used

1 $ierential screw When a slow movement or fine adjustment is desired in precision

equipments then a differential screw is used It consists of two threads of the same hand (ie right

handed or left handed) but of different pitches wound on the same cylinder or different cylinders as

shown in Fig 1714 It may be noted that when the threads are wound on the same cylinder then two

other by a distance equal to the difference of the pitches

11 Ac-e or Trae5oida Threads

We know that the normal reaction in case of a squarethreaded screw is

RN = W cos langwhere

lang is the helix angle

But in case of Acme or trapezoidal thread the normal re-

action between the screw and nut is increased because the axial

component of this normal reaction must be equal to the axial

load (W )

Consider an Acme or trapezoidal thread as shown in

Fig 176

Let 2983214 = Angle of the Acme thread and

983214 = Semi-angle of the threadFig 176 Acme or trapezonidal threads

The material of screw is usually steel and the nut is made of cast iron gun metal phosphor bronze in order

to keep the wear to a mininum

2 All equations of square threaded screw also hold good for Acme threads In case of Acme threads prop1

(ie tan 1) may be substituted in place of prop (ie tan ) Thus for Acme threads

P = W tan (lang + 1)where 1 = Virtual friction angle and tan 1 = prop1

11$ Stresses in Power Screws

A power screw must have adequate strength to withstand axial load and the applied torque

Following types of stresses are induced in the screw

1 $irect tensile or compressive stress due to an aial load The direct stress due to the axial

load may be determined by dividing the axial load (W ) by the minimum cross-sectional area of the

screw ( Ac) ie area corresponding to minor or core diameter (dc )

there4Direct stress (tensile or compressive)

W

= Ac

This is only applicable when the axial load is compressive and the unsupported length of thescrew between the load and the nut is short But when the screw is axially loaded in compression and

the unsupported length of the screw between the load and the nut is too great then the design must be

based on column theory assuming suitable end conditions In such cases the cross-sectional area

corresponding to core diameter may be obtained by using Rankine-Gordon formula or JB Johnsonrsquos

Stress induced due to load W

Note In actual practice the core diameter is first obtained by considering the screw under simple compression

and then checked for critical load or buckling load for stability of the screw

2 amporsional shear stress Since the screw is subjected to a twisting moment therefore torsional

shear stress is induced This is obtained by considering the minimum cross-section of the screw We

know that torque transmitted by the screw

When the screw is subjected to both direct stress and torsional shear stress then the design mustbe based on maximum shear stress theory according to which maximum shear stress on the minor

diameter section

ma =1

2(Bt or Bc 2 amp 2

It may be noted that when the unsupported length of the screw is short then failure will takeplace when the maximum shear stress is equal to the shear yield strength of the material In this case

shear yield strength

= ma times Factor of safety

3 Shear stress due to aial load The threads of the

screw at the core or root diameter and the threads of the nut

at the major diameter may shear due to the axial load

Assuming that the load is uniformly distributed over the

threads in contact we have

Shear stress for screw

n = Number of threads in engagement

and nt as i-or tant roe indeter-ining the e+cienc and ockingroerties of a screw

dc = Core or root diameter of the screw

do = Outside or major diameter of nut or screw and

t = Thickness or width of thread

4 Bearin pressure In order to reduce wear of the screw and nut the bearing pressure on the

thread surfaces must be within limits In the design of power screws the bearing pressure depends

upon the materials of the screw and nut relative velocity between the nut and screw and the nature of

lubrication Assuming that the load is uniformly distributed over the threads in contact the bearing

pressure on the threads is given by

The toggle jack may be designed as discussed below

A little consideration will show that the maximum load on the square threaded screw occurs

when the jack is in the bottom position The position of the link =D in the bottom position is shownin Fig 1713 (a)

Let be the angle of inclination of the link =D with the horizontal

Fig 1713

From the geometry of the figure we find that

cos = 105 minus 15

110= 08112 or = 351deg

Each nut carries half the total load on the jack and due to this the link =D is subjected to tensionwhile the square threaded screw is under pull as shown in Fig 1713 (b) The magnitude of the pull on

the square threaded screw is given by

F =W W

Since the maximum stresses are within safe limits therefore the design of square threaded

screw is satisfactory

The central length (about 25 mm) of screwed rod is kept equal to core diameter of the screw ie

14 mm Since the toggle jack is operated by means of spanners on both sides of the square threaded

rod therefore the ends of the rod may be reduced to 10 mm square and 15 mm long

pins

4 $esin o lins

Due to the load the links may buckle in two planes at right angles to each other For buckling in

the vertical plane (ie in the plane of the links) the links are considered as hinged at both ends and for

buckling in a plane perpendicular to the vertical plane it is considered as fixed at both ends We know

that load on the link

= F 2 = 2846 2 = 1423 N

Assuming a factor of safety = 5 the links must be designed for a buckling load of

W cr = 1423 times 5 = 7115 N

Let t 1 = Thickness of the link and

b1 = Width of the link

Assuming that the width of the link is three times the thickness of the link ie b1 = 3 t 1 therefore

cross-sectional area of the link A = t 1 times 3t 1 = 3(t 1)2

and moment of inertia of the cross-section of the link

11) Di7erentia and Co-ond ScrewsThere are certain cases in which a very slow movement of the screw is required whereas in other

cases a very fast movement of the screw is needed The slow movement of the screw may be obtained

by using a small pitch of the threads but it results in weak threads The fast movement of the screw

may be obtained by using multiple-start threads but this method requires expensive machning and

the loss of self-locking property In order to overcome these difficulties differential or compound

screws as discussed below are used

1 $ierential screw When a slow movement or fine adjustment is desired in precision

equipments then a differential screw is used It consists of two threads of the same hand (ie right

handed or left handed) but of different pitches wound on the same cylinder or different cylinders as

shown in Fig 1714 It may be noted that when the threads are wound on the same cylinder then two

11$ Stresses in Power Screws

A power screw must have adequate strength to withstand axial load and the applied torque

Following types of stresses are induced in the screw

1 $irect tensile or compressive stress due to an aial load The direct stress due to the axial

load may be determined by dividing the axial load (W ) by the minimum cross-sectional area of the

screw ( Ac) ie area corresponding to minor or core diameter (dc )

there4Direct stress (tensile or compressive)

W

= Ac

This is only applicable when the axial load is compressive and the unsupported length of thescrew between the load and the nut is short But when the screw is axially loaded in compression and

the unsupported length of the screw between the load and the nut is too great then the design must be

based on column theory assuming suitable end conditions In such cases the cross-sectional area

corresponding to core diameter may be obtained by using Rankine-Gordon formula or JB Johnsonrsquos

formula According to this

Stress induced due to load W

Note In actual practice the core diameter is first obtained by considering the screw under simple compression

and then checked for critical load or buckling load for stability of the screw

2 amporsional shear stress Since the screw is subjected to a twisting moment therefore torsional

shear stress is induced This is obtained by considering the minimum cross-section of the screw We

know that torque transmitted by the screw

or shear stress induced

(d c )3

When the screw is subjected to both direct stress and torsional shear stress then the design mustbe based on maximum shear stress theory according to which maximum shear stress on the minor

diameter section

ma =1

2(Bt or Bc 2 amp 2

It may be noted that when the unsupported length of the screw is short then failure will takeplace when the maximum shear stress is equal to the shear yield strength of the material In this case

shear yield strength

= ma times Factor of safety

3 Shear stress due to aial load The threads of the

screw at the core or root diameter and the threads of the nut

at the major diameter may shear due to the axial load

Assuming that the load is uniformly distributed over the

threads in contact we have

Shear stress for screw

n = Number of threads in engagement

and nt as i-or tant roe indeter-ining the e+cienc and ockingroerties of a screw

dc = Core or root diameter of the screw

do = Outside or major diameter of nut or screw and

t = Thickness or width of thread

4 Bearin pressure In order to reduce wear of the screw and nut the bearing pressure on the

thread surfaces must be within limits In the design of power screws the bearing pressure depends

upon the materials of the screw and nut relative velocity between the nut and screw and the nature of

lubrication Assuming that the load is uniformly distributed over the threads in contact the bearing

pressure on the threads is given by

where

t = Thickness or width of screw = p 2 and

The diameter of the head (D3) on the top of the screwed rod is usually taken as 175 times the

outside diameter of the screw (do)

there4 D3 = 175 do = 175 times 46 = 805 say 82 mm Ans

The head is provided with two holes at the right angles to receive the handle for rotating the

screw The seat for the cup is made equal to the diameter of head ie 82 mm and it is given chamfer

at the top The cup prevents the load from rotating The cup is fitted to the head with a pin of diameter

D4 = 20 mm The pin remains loose fit in the cup Other dimensions for the cup may be taken asfollows

Height of cup = 50 mm Ans

Thickness of cup = 10 mm Ans

Diameter at the top of cup = 160 mm Ans

Now let us find out the torque required ( 2) to overcome friction at the top of the screw

Assuming that a force of 300 N is applied by a person intermittently therefore length of handle

required

= 661 times 103 300 = 2203 mm

Allowing some length for gripping we shall take the length of handle as 2250 mm

A little consideration will show that an excessive force applied at the end of lever will causebending Considering bending effect the maximum bending moment on the handle

M = Force applied times Length of lever

= 300 times 2250 = 675 times 103 N-mm

Let D = Diameter of the handle

Assuming that the material of the handle is same as that of screw therefore taking bending

We know that the bending moment (M)

The height of head (H) is taken as 2D

Now let us check the screw for buckling load

We know that the effective length for the buckling of screw

gt = Lift of screw + Height of nut = H1 + h 2

= 400 + 80 2 = 440 mm

When the screw reaches the maximum lift it can be regarded as a strut whose lower end is fixed

and the load end is free We know that critical load

therefore there is no chance of the screw to buckle

A little consideration will show that the maximum load on the square threaded screw occurs

when the jack is in the bottom position The position of the link =D in the bottom position is shownin Fig 1713 (a)

Let be the angle of inclination of the link =D with the horizontal

From the geometry of the figure we find that

cos = 105 minus 15

110= 08112 or = 351deg

Each nut carries half the total load on the jack and due to this the link =D is subjected to tensionwhile the square threaded screw is under pull as shown in Fig 1713 (b) The magnitude of the pull on

the square threaded screw is given by

4 $esin o lins

Due to the load the links may buckle in two planes at right angles to each other For buckling in

the vertical plane (ie in the plane of the links) the links are considered as hinged at both ends and for

buckling in a plane perpendicular to the vertical plane it is considered as fixed at both ends We know

that load on the link

= F 2 = 2846 2 = 1423 N

Assuming a factor of safety = 5 the links must be designed for a buckling load of

W cr = 1423 times 5 = 7115 N

Let t 1 = Thickness of the link and

b1 = Width of the link

Assuming that the width of the link is three times the thickness of the link ie b1 = 3 t 1 therefore

cross-sectional area of the link A = t 1 times 3t 1 = 3(t 1)2

11) Di7erentia and Co-ond ScrewsThere are certain cases in which a very slow movement of the screw is required whereas in other

cases a very fast movement of the screw is needed The slow movement of the screw may be obtained

by using a small pitch of the threads but it results in weak threads The fast movement of the screw

may be obtained by using multiple-start threads but this method requires expensive machning and

the loss of self-locking property In order to overcome these difficulties differential or compound

screws as discussed below are used

equipments then a differential screw is used It consists of two threads of the same hand (ie right

handed or left handed) but of different pitches wound on the same cylinder or different cylinders as

shown in Fig 1714 It may be noted that when the threads are wound on the same cylinder then two

Stress induced due to load W

Note In actual practice the core diameter is first obtained by considering the screw under simple compression

and then checked for critical load or buckling load for stability of the screw

2 amporsional shear stress Since the screw is subjected to a twisting moment therefore torsional

shear stress is induced This is obtained by considering the minimum cross-section of the screw We

know that torque transmitted by the screw

When the screw is subjected to both direct stress and torsional shear stress then the design mustbe based on maximum shear stress theory according to which maximum shear stress on the minor

diameter section

It may be noted that when the unsupported length of the screw is short then failure will takeplace when the maximum shear stress is equal to the shear yield strength of the material In this case

shear yield strength

= ma times Factor of safety

3 Shear stress due to aial load The threads of the

screw at the core or root diameter and the threads of the nut

at the major diameter may shear due to the axial load

Assuming that the load is uniformly distributed over the

threads in contact we have

dc = Core or root diameter of the screw

do = Outside or major diameter of nut or screw and

t = Thickness or width of thread

4 Bearin pressure In order to reduce wear of the screw and nut the bearing pressure on the

thread surfaces must be within limits In the design of power screws the bearing pressure depends

upon the materials of the screw and nut relative velocity between the nut and screw and the nature of

lubrication Assuming that the load is uniformly distributed over the threads in contact the bearing

pressure on the threads is given by

The diameter of the head (D3) on the top of the screwed rod is usually taken as 175 times the

outside diameter of the screw (do)

there4 D3 = 175 do = 175 times 46 = 805 say 82 mm Ans

The head is provided with two holes at the right angles to receive the handle for rotating the

screw The seat for the cup is made equal to the diameter of head ie 82 mm and it is given chamfer

at the top The cup prevents the load from rotating The cup is fitted to the head with a pin of diameter

D4 = 20 mm The pin remains loose fit in the cup Other dimensions for the cup may be taken asfollows

Height of cup = 50 mm Ans

Thickness of cup = 10 mm Ans

Diameter at the top of cup = 160 mm Ans

Assuming that a force of 300 N is applied by a person intermittently therefore length of handle

required

= 661 times 103 300 = 2203 mm

Allowing some length for gripping we shall take the length of handle as 2250 mm

A little consideration will show that an excessive force applied at the end of lever will causebending Considering bending effect the maximum bending moment on the handle

M = Force applied times Length of lever

= 300 times 2250 = 675 times 103 N-mm

Let D = Diameter of the handle

Assuming that the material of the handle is same as that of screw therefore taking bending

We know that the bending moment (M)

Now let us check the screw for buckling load

We know that the effective length for the buckling of screw

gt = Lift of screw + Height of nut = H1 + h 2

= 400 + 80 2 = 440 mm

When the screw reaches the maximum lift it can be regarded as a strut whose lower end is fixed

and the load end is free We know that critical load

(Taking ⌠ = ⌠ et )

Since the critical load is more than the load at which the screw is designed (ie 80 times 103 N)

therefore there is no chance of the screw to buckle

A little consideration will show that the maximum load on the square threaded screw occurs

when the jack is in the bottom position The position of the link =D in the bottom position is shownin Fig 1713 (a)

From the geometry of the figure we find that

cos = 105 minus 15

110= 08112 or = 351deg

Each nut carries half the total load on the jack and due to this the link =D is subjected to tensionwhile the square threaded screw is under pull as shown in Fig 1713 (b) The magnitude of the pull on

the square threaded screw is given by

4 $esin o lins

Due to the load the links may buckle in two planes at right angles to each other For buckling in

the vertical plane (ie in the plane of the links) the links are considered as hinged at both ends and for

buckling in a plane perpendicular to the vertical plane it is considered as fixed at both ends We know

that load on the link

= F 2 = 2846 2 = 1423 N

Assuming a factor of safety = 5 the links must be designed for a buckling load of

W cr = 1423 times 5 = 7115 N

Let t 1 = Thickness of the link and

b1 = Width of the link

Assuming that the width of the link is three times the thickness of the link ie b1 = 3 t 1 therefore

cross-sectional area of the link A = t 1 times 3t 1 = 3(t 1)2

11) Di7erentia and Co-ond ScrewsThere are certain cases in which a very slow movement of the screw is required whereas in other

cases a very fast movement of the screw is needed The slow movement of the screw may be obtained

by using a small pitch of the threads but it results in weak threads The fast movement of the screw

may be obtained by using multiple-start threads but this method requires expensive machning and

the loss of self-locking property In order to overcome these difficulties differential or compound

screws as discussed below are used

equipments then a differential screw is used It consists of two threads of the same hand (ie right

handed or left handed) but of different pitches wound on the same cylinder or different cylinders as

The diameter of the head (D3) on the top of the screwed rod is usually taken as 175 times the

outside diameter of the screw (do)

there4 D3 = 175 do = 175 times 46 = 805 say 82 mm Ans

The head is provided with two holes at the right angles to receive the handle for rotating the

screw The seat for the cup is made equal to the diameter of head ie 82 mm and it is given chamfer

at the top The cup prevents the load from rotating The cup is fitted to the head with a pin of diameter

D4 = 20 mm The pin remains loose fit in the cup Other dimensions for the cup may be taken asfollows

Height of cup = 50 mm Ans

Thickness of cup = 10 mm Ans

Diameter at the top of cup = 160 mm Ans

Now let us find out the torque required ( 2) to overcome friction at the top of the screw

Assuming that a force of 300 N is applied by a person intermittently therefore length of handle

required

= 661 times 103 300 = 2203 mm

Allowing some length for gripping we shall take the length of handle as 2250 mm

A little consideration will show that an excessive force applied at the end of lever will causebending Considering bending effect the maximum bending moment on the handle

M = Force applied times Length of lever

= 300 times 2250 = 675 times 103 N-mm

Let D = Diameter of the handle

Assuming that the material of the handle is same as that of screw therefore taking bending

We know that the bending moment (M)

The height of head (H) is taken as 2D

Now let us check the screw for buckling load

We know that the effective length for the buckling of screw

gt = Lift of screw + Height of nut = H1 + h 2

= 400 + 80 2 = 440 mm

When the screw reaches the maximum lift it can be regarded as a strut whose lower end is fixed

and the load end is free We know that critical load

(Taking ⌠ = ⌠ et )

Since the critical load is more than the load at which the screw is designed (ie 80 times 103 N)

therefore there is no chance of the screw to buckle

A little consideration will show that the maximum load on the square threaded screw occurs

when the jack is in the bottom position The position of the link =D in the bottom position is shownin Fig 1713 (a)

From the geometry of the figure we find that

cos = 105 minus 15

110= 08112 or = 351deg

Each nut carries half the total load on the jack and due to this the link =D is subjected to tensionwhile the square threaded screw is under pull as shown in Fig 1713 (b) The magnitude of the pull on

the square threaded screw is given by

4 $esin o lins

Due to the load the links may buckle in two planes at right angles to each other For buckling in

the vertical plane (ie in the plane of the links) the links are considered as hinged at both ends and for

buckling in a plane perpendicular to the vertical plane it is considered as fixed at both ends We know

that load on the link

= F 2 = 2846 2 = 1423 N

Assuming a factor of safety = 5 the links must be designed for a buckling load of

W cr = 1423 times 5 = 7115 N

Let t 1 = Thickness of the link and

b1 = Width of the link

Assuming that the width of the link is three times the thickness of the link ie b1 = 3 t 1 therefore

cross-sectional area of the link A = t 1 times 3t 1 = 3(t 1)2

and moment of inertia of the cross-section of the link

11) Di7erentia and Co-ond ScrewsThere are certain cases in which a very slow movement of the screw is required whereas in other

cases a very fast movement of the screw is needed The slow movement of the screw may be obtained

by using a small pitch of the threads but it results in weak threads The fast movement of the screw

may be obtained by using multiple-start threads but this method requires expensive machning and

the loss of self-locking property In order to overcome these difficulties differential or compound

screws as discussed below are used

equipments then a differential screw is used It consists of two threads of the same hand (ie right

handed or left handed) but of different pitches wound on the same cylinder or different cylinders as

The diameter of the head (D3) on the top of the screwed rod is usually taken as 175 times the

outside diameter of the screw (do)

there4 D3 = 175 do = 175 times 46 = 805 say 82 mm Ans

The head is provided with two holes at the right angles to receive the handle for rotating the

screw The seat for the cup is made equal to the diameter of head ie 82 mm and it is given chamfer

at the top The cup prevents the load from rotating The cup is fitted to the head with a pin of diameter

D4 = 20 mm The pin remains loose fit in the cup Other dimensions for the cup may be taken asfollows

Height of cup = 50 mm Ans

Thickness of cup = 10 mm Ans

Diameter at the top of cup = 160 mm Ans

Now let us find out the torque required ( 2) to overcome friction at the top of the screw

Assuming that a force of 300 N is applied by a person intermittently therefore length of handle

required

= 661 times 103 300 = 2203 mm

Allowing some length for gripping we shall take the length of handle as 2250 mm

A little consideration will show that an excessive force applied at the end of lever will causebending Considering bending effect the maximum bending moment on the handle

M = Force applied times Length of lever

= 300 times 2250 = 675 times 103 N-mm

Let D = Diameter of the handle

Assuming that the material of the handle is same as that of screw therefore taking bending

We know that the bending moment (M)

The height of head (H) is taken as 2D

Now let us check the screw for buckling load

We know that the effective length for the buckling of screw

gt = Lift of screw + Height of nut = H1 + h 2

= 400 + 80 2 = 440 mm

When the screw reaches the maximum lift it can be regarded as a strut whose lower end is fixed

and the load end is free We know that critical load

therefore there is no chance of the screw to buckle

A little consideration will show that the maximum load on the square threaded screw occurs

when the jack is in the bottom position The position of the link =D in the bottom position is shownin Fig 1713 (a)

From the geometry of the figure we find that

cos = 105 minus 15

110= 08112 or = 351deg

Each nut carries half the total load on the jack and due to this the link =D is subjected to tensionwhile the square threaded screw is under pull as shown in Fig 1713 (b) The magnitude of the pull on

the square threaded screw is given by

4 $esin o lins

Due to the load the links may buckle in two planes at right angles to each other For buckling in

the vertical plane (ie in the plane of the links) the links are considered as hinged at both ends and for

buckling in a plane perpendicular to the vertical plane it is considered as fixed at both ends We know

that load on the link

= F 2 = 2846 2 = 1423 N

Assuming a factor of safety = 5 the links must be designed for a buckling load of

W cr = 1423 times 5 = 7115 N

Let t 1 = Thickness of the link and

b1 = Width of the link

Assuming that the width of the link is three times the thickness of the link ie b1 = 3 t 1 therefore

cross-sectional area of the link A = t 1 times 3t 1 = 3(t 1)2

11) Di7erentia and Co-ond ScrewsThere are certain cases in which a very slow movement of the screw is required whereas in other

cases a very fast movement of the screw is needed The slow movement of the screw may be obtained

by using a small pitch of the threads but it results in weak threads The fast movement of the screw

may be obtained by using multiple-start threads but this method requires expensive machning and

the loss of self-locking property In order to overcome these difficulties differential or compound

screws as discussed below are used

equipments then a differential screw is used It consists of two threads of the same hand (ie right

handed or left handed) but of different pitches wound on the same cylinder or different cylinders as

shown in Fig 1714 It may be noted that when the threads are wound on the same cylinder then two

From the geometry of the figure we find that

Each nut carries half the total load on the jack and due to this the link =D is subjected to tensionwhile the square threaded screw is under pull as shown in Fig 1713 (b) The magnitude of the pull on

the square threaded screw is given by

4 $esin o lins

Due to the load the links may buckle in two planes at right angles to each other For buckling in

the vertical plane (ie in the plane of the links) the links are considered as hinged at both ends and for

buckling in a plane perpendicular to the vertical plane it is considered as fixed at both ends We know

that load on the link

= F 2 = 2846 2 = 1423 N

Assuming a factor of safety = 5 the links must be designed for a buckling load of

W cr = 1423 times 5 = 7115 N

Let t 1 = Thickness of the link and

b1 = Width of the link

Assuming that the width of the link is three times the thickness of the link ie b1 = 3 t 1 therefore

cross-sectional area of the link A = t 1 times 3t 1 = 3(t 1)2

11) Di7erentia and Co-ond ScrewsThere are certain cases in which a very slow movement of the screw is required whereas in other

cases a very fast movement of the screw is needed The slow movement of the screw may be obtained

by using a small pitch of the threads but it results in weak threads The fast movement of the screw

may be obtained by using multiple-start threads but this method requires expensive machning and

the loss of self-locking property In order to overcome these difficulties differential or compound

screws as discussed below are used

equipments then a differential screw is used It consists of two threads of the same hand (ie right

handed or left handed) but of different pitches wound on the same cylinder or different cylinders as

shown in Fig 1714 It may be noted that when the threads are wound on the same cylinder then two

The head is provided with two holes at the right angles to receive the handle for rotating the

Let D = Diameter of the handle

11) Di7erentia and Co-ond ScrewsThere are certain cases in which a very slow movement of the screw is required whereas in other

cases a very fast movement of the screw is needed The slow movement of the screw may be obtained

by using a small pitch of the threads but it results in weak threads The fast movement of the screw

may be obtained by using multiple-start threads but this method requires expensive machning and

the loss of self-locking property In order to overcome these difficulties differential or compound

screws as discussed below are used

1 $ierential screw When a slow movement or fine adjustment is desired in precision

equipments then a differential screw is used It consists of two threads of the same hand (ie right

handed or left handed) but of different pitches wound on the same cylinder or different cylinders as

shown in Fig 1714 It may be noted that when the threads are wound on the same cylinder then two

other by a distance equal to the difference of the pitches

The diameter of the head (D3) on the top of the screwed rod is usually taken as 175 times the

outside diameter of the screw (do)

The head is provided with two holes at the right angles to receive the handle for rotating the

screw The seat for the cup is made equal to the diameter of head ie 82 mm and it is given chamfer

at the top The cup prevents the load from rotating The cup is fitted to the head with a pin of diameter

D4 = 20 mm The pin remains loose fit in the cup Other dimensions for the cup may be taken asfollows

Height of cup = 50 mm Ans

Thickness of cup = 10 mm Ans

Diameter at the top of cup = 160 mm Ans

Assuming that a force of 300 N is applied by a person intermittently therefore length of handle

required

= 661 times 103 300 = 2203 mm

Allowing some length for gripping we shall take the length of handle as 2250 mm

A little consideration will show that an excessive force applied at the end of lever will causebending Considering bending effect the maximum bending moment on the handle

M = Force applied times Length of lever

= 300 times 2250 = 675 times 103 N-mm

Let D = Diameter of the handle

Assuming that the material of the handle is same as that of screw therefore taking bending

We know that the bending moment (M)

Now let us check the screw for buckling load

We know that the effective length for the buckling of screw

gt = Lift of screw + Height of nut = H1 + h 2

When the screw reaches the maximum lift it can be regarded as a strut whose lower end is fixed

and the load end is free We know that critical load

(Taking ⌠ = ⌠ et )

Since the critical load is more than the load at which the screw is designed (ie 80 times 103 N)

therefore there is no chance of the screw to buckle

A little consideration will show that the maximum load on the square threaded screw occurs

when the jack is in the bottom position The position of the link =D in the bottom position is shownin Fig 1713 (a)

From the geometry of the figure we find that

cos = 105 minus 15

110= 08112 or = 351deg

Each nut carries half the total load on the jack and due to this the link =D is subjected to tensionwhile the square threaded screw is under pull as shown in Fig 1713 (b) The magnitude of the pull on

the square threaded screw is given by

4 $esin o lins

Due to the load the links may buckle in two planes at right angles to each other For buckling in

the vertical plane (ie in the plane of the links) the links are considered as hinged at both ends and for

buckling in a plane perpendicular to the vertical plane it is considered as fixed at both ends We know

that load on the link

= F 2 = 2846 2 = 1423 N

Assuming a factor of safety = 5 the links must be designed for a buckling load of

W cr = 1423 times 5 = 7115 N

Let t 1 = Thickness of the link and

b1 = Width of the link

Assuming that the width of the link is three times the thickness of the link ie b1 = 3 t 1 therefore

cross-sectional area of the link A = t 1 times 3t 1 = 3(t 1)2

11) Di7erentia and Co-ond ScrewsThere are certain cases in which a very slow movement of the screw is required whereas in other

cases a very fast movement of the screw is needed The slow movement of the screw may be obtained

by using a small pitch of the threads but it results in weak threads The fast movement of the screw

may be obtained by using multiple-start threads but this method requires expensive machning and

the loss of self-locking property In order to overcome these difficulties differential or compound

screws as discussed below are used

equipments then a differential screw is used It consists of two threads of the same hand (ie right

handed or left handed) but of different pitches wound on the same cylinder or different cylinders as

The central length (about 25 mm) of screwed rod is kept equal to core diameter of the screw ie

rod therefore the ends of the rod may be reduced to 10 mm square and 15 mm long

4 $esin o lins

Due to the load the links may buckle in two planes at right angles to each other For buckling in

the vertical plane (ie in the plane of the links) the links are considered as hinged at both ends and for

buckling in a plane perpendicular to the vertical plane it is considered as fixed at both ends We know

that load on the link

= F 2 = 2846 2 = 1423 N

Assuming a factor of safety = 5 the links must be designed for a buckling load of

W cr = 1423 times 5 = 7115 N

Let t 1 = Thickness of the link and

b1 = Width of the link

Assuming that the width of the link is three times the thickness of the link ie b1 = 3 t 1 therefore

cross-sectional area of the link A = t 1 times 3t 1 = 3(t 1)2

and moment of inertia of the cross-section of the link

11) Di7erentia and Co-ond ScrewsThere are certain cases in which a very slow movement of the screw is required whereas in other

cases a very fast movement of the screw is needed The slow movement of the screw may be obtained

by using a small pitch of the threads but it results in weak threads The fast movement of the screw

may be obtained by using multiple-start threads but this method requires expensive machning and

the loss of self-locking property In order to overcome these difficulties differential or compound

screws as discussed below are used

1 $ierential screw When a slow movement or fine adjustment is desired in precision

equipments then a differential screw is used It consists of two threads of the same hand (ie right

handed or left handed) but of different pitches wound on the same cylinder or different cylinders as

shown in Fig 1714 It may be noted that when the threads are wound on the same cylinder then two

The diameter of the head (D3) on the top of the screwed rod is usually taken as 175 times the

outside diameter of the screw (do)

there4 D3 = 175 do = 175 times 46 = 805 say 82 mm Ans

The head is provided with two holes at the right angles to receive the handle for rotating the

screw The seat for the cup is made equal to the diameter of head ie 82 mm and it is given chamfer

at the top The cup prevents the load from rotating The cup is fitted to the head with a pin of diameter

D4 = 20 mm The pin remains loose fit in the cup Other dimensions for the cup may be taken asfollows

Height of cup = 50 mm Ans

Thickness of cup = 10 mm Ans

Diameter at the top of cup = 160 mm Ans

Now let us find out the torque required ( 2) to overcome friction at the top of the screw

Assuming that a force of 300 N is applied by a person intermittently therefore length of handle

required

= 661 times 103 300 = 2203 mm

Allowing some length for gripping we shall take the length of handle as 2250 mm

A little consideration will show that an excessive force applied at the end of lever will causebending Considering bending effect the maximum bending moment on the handle

M = Force applied times Length of lever

= 300 times 2250 = 675 times 103 N-mm

Let D = Diameter of the handle

Assuming that the material of the handle is same as that of screw therefore taking bending

We know that the bending moment (M)

The height of head (H) is taken as 2D

Now let us check the screw for buckling load

We know that the effective length for the buckling of screw

gt = Lift of screw + Height of nut = H1 + h 2

= 400 + 80 2 = 440 mm

When the screw reaches the maximum lift it can be regarded as a strut whose lower end is fixed

and the load end is free We know that critical load

therefore there is no chance of the screw to buckle

A little consideration will show that the maximum load on the square threaded screw occurs

when the jack is in the bottom position The position of the link =D in the bottom position is shownin Fig 1713 (a)

From the geometry of the figure we find that

cos = 105 minus 15

110= 08112 or = 351deg

Each nut carries half the total load on the jack and due to this the link =D is subjected to tensionwhile the square threaded screw is under pull as shown in Fig 1713 (b) The magnitude of the pull on

the square threaded screw is given by

4 $esin o lins

Due to the load the links may buckle in two planes at right angles to each other For buckling in

the vertical plane (ie in the plane of the links) the links are considered as hinged at both ends and for

buckling in a plane perpendicular to the vertical plane it is considered as fixed at both ends We know

that load on the link

= F 2 = 2846 2 = 1423 N

Assuming a factor of safety = 5 the links must be designed for a buckling load of

W cr = 1423 times 5 = 7115 N

Let t 1 = Thickness of the link and

b1 = Width of the link

Assuming that the width of the link is three times the thickness of the link ie b1 = 3 t 1 therefore

cross-sectional area of the link A = t 1 times 3t 1 = 3(t 1)2

11) Di7erentia and Co-ond ScrewsThere are certain cases in which a very slow movement of the screw is required whereas in other

cases a very fast movement of the screw is needed The slow movement of the screw may be obtained

by using a small pitch of the threads but it results in weak threads The fast movement of the screw

may be obtained by using multiple-start threads but this method requires expensive machning and

the loss of self-locking property In order to overcome these difficulties differential or compound

screws as discussed below are used

equipments then a differential screw is used It consists of two threads of the same hand (ie right

handed or left handed) but of different pitches wound on the same cylinder or different cylinders as

The various parts of a screw jack are designed as discussed below

Since the screw is under compression therefore load (W )

The head is provided with two holes at the right angles to receive the handle for rotating the

screw The seat for the cup is made equal to the diameter of head ie 82 mm and it is given chamfer

at the top The cup prevents the load from rotating The cup is fitted to the head with a pin of diameter

D4 = 20 mm The pin remains loose fit in the cup Other dimensions for the cup may be taken asfollows

Height of cup = 50 mm Ans

Thickness of cup = 10 mm Ans

Assuming that a force of 300 N is applied by a person intermittently therefore length of handle

required

Allowing some length for gripping we shall take the length of handle as 2250 mm

A little consideration will show that an excessive force applied at the end of lever will causebending Considering bending effect the maximum bending moment on the handle

M = Force applied times Length of lever

Let D = Diameter of the handle

Assuming that the material of the handle is same as that of screw therefore taking bending

We know that the bending moment (M)

Now let us check the screw for buckling load

We know that the effective length for the buckling of screw

gt = Lift of screw + Height of nut = H1 + h 2

When the screw reaches the maximum lift it can be regarded as a strut whose lower end is fixed

therefore there is no chance of the screw to buckle

From the geometry of the figure we find that

Due to the load the links may buckle in two planes at right angles to each other For buckling in

the vertical plane (ie in the plane of the links) the links are considered as hinged at both ends and for

buckling in a plane perpendicular to the vertical plane it is considered as fixed at both ends We know

that load on the link

Assuming a factor of safety = 5 the links must be designed for a buckling load of

Let t 1 = Thickness of the link and

b1 = Width of the link

Assuming that the width of the link is three times the thickness of the link ie b1 = 3 t 1 therefore

11) Di7erentia and Co-ond ScrewsThere are certain cases in which a very slow movement of the screw is required whereas in other

cases a very fast movement of the screw is needed The slow movement of the screw may be obtained

by using a small pitch of the threads but it results in weak threads The fast movement of the screw

may be obtained by using multiple-start threads but this method requires expensive machning and

the loss of self-locking property In order to overcome these difficulties differential or compound

screws as discussed below are used

equipments then a differential screw is used It consists of two threads of the same hand (ie right

handed or left handed) but of different pitches wound on the same cylinder or different cylinders as

The head is provided with two holes at the right angles to receive the handle for rotating the

Let D = Diameter of the handle

Assuming that the width of the link is three times the thickness of the link ie b1 = 3 t 1 therefore

11) Di7erentia and Co-ond ScrewsThere are certain cases in which a very slow movement of the screw is required whereas in other

cases a very fast movement of the screw is needed The slow movement of the screw may be obtained

by using a small pitch of the threads but it results in weak threads The fast movement of the screw

may be obtained by using multiple-start threads but this method requires expensive machning and

the loss of self-locking property In order to overcome these difficulties differential or compound

screws as discussed below are used

1 $ierential screw When a slow movement or fine adjustment is desired in precision

equipments then a differential screw is used It consists of two threads of the same hand (ie right

handed or left handed) but of different pitches wound on the same cylinder or different cylinders as

shown in Fig 1714 It may be noted that when the threads are wound on the same cylinder then two

other by a distance equal to the difference of the pitches

The head is provided with two holes at the right angles to receive the handle for rotating the

Due to the load the links may buckle in two planes at right angles to each other For buckling in

the vertical plane (ie in the plane of the links) the links are considered as hinged at both ends and for

buckling in a plane perpendicular to the vertical plane it is considered as fixed at both ends We know

that load on the link

= F 2 = 2846 2 = 1423 N

Assuming a factor of safety = 5 the links must be designed for a buckling load of

W cr = 1423 times 5 = 7115 N

Let t 1 = Thickness of the link and

b1 = Width of the link

Assuming that the width of the link is three times the thickness of the link ie b1 = 3 t 1 therefore

cross-sectional area of the link A = t 1 times 3t 1 = 3(t 1)2

11) Di7erentia and Co-ond ScrewsThere are certain cases in which a very slow movement of the screw is required whereas in other

cases a very fast movement of the screw is needed The slow movement of the screw may be obtained

by using a small pitch of the threads but it results in weak threads The fast movement of the screw

may be obtained by using multiple-start threads but this method requires expensive machning and

the loss of self-locking property In order to overcome these difficulties differential or compound

screws as discussed below are used

1 $ierential screw When a slow movement or fine adjustment is desired in precision

equipments then a differential screw is used It consists of two threads of the same hand (ie right

handed or left handed) but of different pitches wound on the same cylinder or different cylinders as

shown in Fig 1714 It may be noted that when the threads are wound on the same cylinder then two

The head is provided with two holes at the right angles to receive the handle for rotating the

Allowing some length for gripping we shall take the length of handle as 2250 mm

Let D = Diameter of the handle

11) Di7erentia and Co-ond ScrewsThere are certain cases in which a very slow movement of the screw is required whereas in other

cases a very fast movement of the screw is needed The slow movement of the screw may be obtained

by using a small pitch of the threads but it results in weak threads The fast movement of the screw

may be obtained by using multiple-start threads but this method requires expensive machning and

the loss of self-locking property In order to overcome these difficulties differential or compound

screws as discussed below are used

1 $ierential screw When a slow movement or fine adjustment is desired in precision

equipments then a differential screw is used It consists of two threads of the same hand (ie right

handed or left handed) but of different pitches wound on the same cylinder or different cylinders as

shown in Fig 1714 It may be noted that when the threads are wound on the same cylinder then two

The various parts of a screw jack are designed as discussed below

$esin o screw or spindle

Let dc = Core diameter of the screw

Since the screw is under compression therefore load (W )

From Table 172 we see that next higher value of 32 mm for the core diameter is 33 mm By taking dc = 33

The diameter of the head (D3) on the top of the screwed rod is usually taken as 175 times the

outside diameter of the screw (do)

The head is provided with two holes at the right angles to receive the handle for rotating the

screw The seat for the cup is made equal to the diameter of head ie 82 mm and it is given chamfer

at the top The cup prevents the load from rotating The cup is fitted to the head with a pin of diameter

D4 = 20 mm The pin remains loose fit in the cup Other dimensions for the cup may be taken asfollows

Height of cup = 50 mm Ans

Thickness of cup = 10 mm Ans

Diameter at the top of cup = 160 mm Ans

Assuming that a force of 300 N is applied by a person intermittently therefore length of handle

required

= 661 times 103 300 = 2203 mm

Allowing some length for gripping we shall take the length of handle as 2250 mm

664 n A Textbook of Machine Design

A little consideration will show that an excessive force applied at the end of lever will causebending Considering bending effect the maximum bending moment on the handle

M = Force applied times Length of lever

= 300 times 2250 = 675 times 103 N-mm

Let D = Diameter of the handle

Assuming that the material of the handle is same as that of screw therefore taking bending

We know that the bending moment (M)

Now let us check the screw for buckling load

We know that the effective length for the buckling of screw

gt = Lift of screw + Height of nut = H1 + h 2

When the screw reaches the maximum lift it can be regarded as a strut whose lower end is fixed

Since the critical load is more than the load at which the screw is designed (ie 80 times 103 N)

therefore there is no chance of the screw to buckle

From the geometry of the figure we find that

Each nut carries half the total load on the jack and due to this the link =D is subjected to tensionwhile the square threaded screw is under pull as shown in Fig 1713 (b) The magnitude of the pull on

the square threaded screw is given by

Due to the load the links may buckle in two planes at right angles to each other For buckling in

the vertical plane (ie in the plane of the links) the links are considered as hinged at both ends and for

buckling in a plane perpendicular to the vertical plane it is considered as fixed at both ends We know

that load on the link

Assuming a factor of safety = 5 the links must be designed for a buckling load of

W cr = 1423 times 5 = 7115 N

Let t 1 = Thickness of the link and

b1 = Width of the link

Assuming that the width of the link is three times the thickness of the link ie b1 = 3 t 1 therefore

11) Di7erentia and Co-ond ScrewsThere are certain cases in which a very slow movement of the screw is required whereas in other

cases a very fast movement of the screw is needed The slow movement of the screw may be obtained

by using a small pitch of the threads but it results in weak threads The fast movement of the screw

may be obtained by using multiple-start threads but this method requires expensive machning and

the loss of self-locking property In order to overcome these difficulties differential or compound

screws as discussed below are used

equipments then a differential screw is used It consists of two threads of the same hand (ie right

handed or left handed) but of different pitches wound on the same cylinder or different cylinders as

The diameter of the head (D3) on the top of the screwed rod is usually taken as 175 times the

outside diameter of the screw (do)

there4 D3 = 175 do = 175 times 46 = 805 say 82 mm Ans

The head is provided with two holes at the right angles to receive the handle for rotating the

screw The seat for the cup is made equal to the diameter of head ie 82 mm and it is given chamfer

at the top The cup prevents the load from rotating The cup is fitted to the head with a pin of diameter

D4 = 20 mm The pin remains loose fit in the cup Other dimensions for the cup may be taken asfollows

Height of cup = 50 mm Ans

Thickness of cup = 10 mm Ans

Diameter at the top of cup = 160 mm Ans

Assuming that a force of 300 N is applied by a person intermittently therefore length of handle

required

= 661 times 103 300 = 2203 mm

Allowing some length for gripping we shall take the length of handle as 2250 mm

A little consideration will show that an excessive force applied at the end of lever will causebending Considering bending effect the maximum bending moment on the handle

M = Force applied times Length of lever

= 300 times 2250 = 675 times 103 N-mm

Let D = Diameter of the handle

Assuming that the material of the handle is same as that of screw therefore taking bending

We know that the bending moment (M)

Now let us check the screw for buckling load

We know that the effective length for the buckling of screw

gt = Lift of screw + Height of nut = H1 + h 2

= 400 + 80 2 = 440 mm

When the screw reaches the maximum lift it can be regarded as a strut whose lower end is fixed

and the load end is free We know that critical load

therefore there is no chance of the screw to buckle

A little consideration will show that the maximum load on the square threaded screw occurs

when the jack is in the bottom position The position of the link =D in the bottom position is shownin Fig 1713 (a)

From the geometry of the figure we find that

cos = 105 minus 15

110= 08112 or = 351deg

Each nut carries half the total load on the jack and due to this the link =D is subjected to tensionwhile the square threaded screw is under pull as shown in Fig 1713 (b) The magnitude of the pull on

the square threaded screw is given by

4 $esin o lins

Due to the load the links may buckle in two planes at right angles to each other For buckling in

the vertical plane (ie in the plane of the links) the links are considered as hinged at both ends and for

buckling in a plane perpendicular to the vertical plane it is considered as fixed at both ends We know

that load on the link

= F 2 = 2846 2 = 1423 N

Assuming a factor of safety = 5 the links must be designed for a buckling load of

W cr = 1423 times 5 = 7115 N

Let t 1 = Thickness of the link and

b1 = Width of the link

Assuming that the width of the link is three times the thickness of the link ie b1 = 3 t 1 therefore

cross-sectional area of the link A = t 1 times 3t 1 = 3(t 1)2

11) Di7erentia and Co-ond ScrewsThere are certain cases in which a very slow movement of the screw is required whereas in other

cases a very fast movement of the screw is needed The slow movement of the screw may be obtained

by using a small pitch of the threads but it results in weak threads The fast movement of the screw

may be obtained by using multiple-start threads but this method requires expensive machning and

the loss of self-locking property In order to overcome these difficulties differential or compound

screws as discussed below are used

equipments then a differential screw is used It consists of two threads of the same hand (ie right

handed or left handed) but of different pitches wound on the same cylinder or different cylinders as

shown in Fig 1714 It may be noted that when the threads are wound on the same cylinder then two

In order to have good stability and also to prevent rocking of the screw in the nut we shall

The central length (about 25 mm) of screwed rod is kept equal to core diameter of the screw ie

14 mm Since the toggle jack is operated by means of spanners on both sides of the square threaded

rod therefore the ends of the rod may be reduced to 10 mm square and 15 mm long

4 $esin o lins

Due to the load the links may buckle in two planes at right angles to each other For buckling in

the vertical plane (ie in the plane of the links) the links are considered as hinged at both ends and for

buckling in a plane perpendicular to the vertical plane it is considered as fixed at both ends We know

that load on the link

= F 2 = 2846 2 = 1423 N

Assuming a factor of safety = 5 the links must be designed for a buckling load of

W cr = 1423 times 5 = 7115 N

Let t 1 = Thickness of the link and

b1 = Width of the link

Assuming that the width of the link is three times the thickness of the link ie b1 = 3 t 1 therefore

cross-sectional area of the link A = t 1 times 3t 1 = 3(t 1)2

and moment of inertia of the cross-section of the link

11) Di7erentia and Co-ond ScrewsThere are certain cases in which a very slow movement of the screw is required whereas in other

cases a very fast movement of the screw is needed The slow movement of the screw may be obtained

by using a small pitch of the threads but it results in weak threads The fast movement of the screw

may be obtained by using multiple-start threads but this method requires expensive machning and

the loss of self-locking property In order to overcome these difficulties differential or compound

screws as discussed below are used

1 $ierential screw When a slow movement or fine adjustment is desired in precision

equipments then a differential screw is used It consists of two threads of the same hand (ie right

handed or left handed) but of different pitches wound on the same cylinder or different cylinders as

shown in Fig 1714 It may be noted that when the threads are wound on the same cylinder then two

The various parts of a screw jack are designed as discussed below

$esin o screw or spindle

Let dc = Core diameter of the screw

Since the screw is under compression therefore load (W )

80 times 103 = (dc ) 2 sdot = (dc ) 2 = 7855 (dc ) 2

F lt 4 2

(Taking factor of safety Flt = 2)

From Table 172 we see that next higher value of 32 mm for the core diameter is 33 mm By taking dc = 33

Since these maximum stresses are within limits therefore design of screw for spindle is safe

The diameter of the head (D3) on the top of the screwed rod is usually taken as 175 times the

outside diameter of the screw (do)

there4 D3 = 175 do = 175 times 46 = 805 say 82 mm Ans

The head is provided with two holes at the right angles to receive the handle for rotating the

screw The seat for the cup is made equal to the diameter of head ie 82 mm and it is given chamfer

at the top The cup prevents the load from rotating The cup is fitted to the head with a pin of diameter

D4 = 20 mm The pin remains loose fit in the cup Other dimensions for the cup may be taken asfollows

Height of cup = 50 mm Ans

Thickness of cup = 10 mm Ans

Diameter at the top of cup = 160 mm Ans

Now let us find out the torque required ( 2) to overcome friction at the top of the screw

Assuming that a force of 300 N is applied by a person intermittently therefore length of handle

required

= 661 times 103 300 = 2203 mm

Allowing some length for gripping we shall take the length of handle as 2250 mm

664 n A Textbook of Machine Design

A little consideration will show that an excessive force applied at the end of lever will causebending Considering bending effect the maximum bending moment on the handle

M = Force applied times Length of lever

= 300 times 2250 = 675 times 103 N-mm

Let D = Diameter of the handle

Assuming that the material of the handle is same as that of screw therefore taking bending

stress ⌠ b = ⌠ t = ⌠ et 2 = 100 Nmm2

We know that the bending moment (M)

675 times 103 =

The height of head (H) is taken as 2D

there4 H = 2 D = 2 times 42 = 84 mm Ans

Now let us check the screw for buckling load

We know that the effective length for the buckling of screw

gt = Lift of screw + Height of nut = H1 + h 2

= 400 + 80 2 = 440 mm

When the screw reaches the maximum lift it can be regarded as a strut whose lower end is fixed

and the load end is free We know that critical load

(Taking ⌠ = ⌠ et )

Since the critical load is more than the load at which the screw is designed (ie 80 times 103 N)

therefore there is no chance of the screw to buckle

A little consideration will show that the maximum load on the square threaded screw occurs

when the jack is in the bottom position The position of the link =D in the bottom position is shownin Fig 1713 (a)

Let be the angle of inclination of the link =D with the horizontal

From the geometry of the figure we find that

cos = 105 minus 15

110= 08112 or = 351deg

Each nut carries half the total load on the jack and due to this the link =D is subjected to tensionwhile the square threaded screw is under pull as shown in Fig 1713 (b) The magnitude of the pull on

the square threaded screw is given by

4 $esin o lins

Due to the load the links may buckle in two planes at right angles to each other For buckling in

the vertical plane (ie in the plane of the links) the links are considered as hinged at both ends and for

buckling in a plane perpendicular to the vertical plane it is considered as fixed at both ends We know

that load on the link

= F 2 = 2846 2 = 1423 N

Assuming a factor of safety = 5 the links must be designed for a buckling load of

W cr = 1423 times 5 = 7115 N

Let t 1 = Thickness of the link and

b1 = Width of the link

Assuming that the width of the link is three times the thickness of the link ie b1 = 3 t 1 therefore

cross-sectional area of the link A = t 1 times 3t 1 = 3(t 1)2

and moment of inertia of the cross-section of the link

11) Di7erentia and Co-ond ScrewsThere are certain cases in which a very slow movement of the screw is required whereas in other

cases a very fast movement of the screw is needed The slow movement of the screw may be obtained

by using a small pitch of the threads but it results in weak threads The fast movement of the screw

may be obtained by using multiple-start threads but this method requires expensive machning and

the loss of self-locking property In order to overcome these difficulties differential or compound

screws as discussed below are used

equipments then a differential screw is used It consists of two threads of the same hand (ie right

handed or left handed) but of different pitches wound on the same cylinder or different cylinders as

rod therefore the ends of the rod may be reduced to 10 mm square and 15 mm long

Due to the load the links may buckle in two planes at right angles to each other For buckling in

the vertical plane (ie in the plane of the links) the links are considered as hinged at both ends and for

buckling in a plane perpendicular to the vertical plane it is considered as fixed at both ends We know

that load on the link

Assuming a factor of safety = 5 the links must be designed for a buckling load of

W cr = 1423 times 5 = 7115 N

Let t 1 = Thickness of the link and

b1 = Width of the link

Assuming that the width of the link is three times the thickness of the link ie b1 = 3 t 1 therefore

cross-sectional area of the link A = t 1 times 3t 1 = 3(t 1)2

11) Di7erentia and Co-ond ScrewsThere are certain cases in which a very slow movement of the screw is required whereas in other

cases a very fast movement of the screw is needed The slow movement of the screw may be obtained

by using a small pitch of the threads but it results in weak threads The fast movement of the screw

may be obtained by using multiple-start threads but this method requires expensive machning and

the loss of self-locking property In order to overcome these difficulties differential or compound

screws as discussed below are used

equipments then a differential screw is used It consists of two threads of the same hand (ie right

handed or left handed) but of different pitches wound on the same cylinder or different cylinders as

shown in Fig 1714 It may be noted that when the threads are wound on the same cylinder then two

Let D = Diameter of the handle

Assuming that the material of the handle is same as that of screw therefore taking bending

We know that the bending moment (M)

Now let us check the screw for buckling load

We know that the effective length for the buckling of screw

When the screw reaches the maximum lift it can be regarded as a strut whose lower end is fixed

From the geometry of the figure we find that

cos = 105 minus 15

Each nut carries half the total load on the jack and due to this the link =D is subjected to tensionwhile the square threaded screw is under pull as shown in Fig 1713 (b) The magnitude of the pull on

the square threaded screw is given by

4 $esin o lins

Due to the load the links may buckle in two planes at right angles to each other For buckling in

the vertical plane (ie in the plane of the links) the links are considered as hinged at both ends and for

buckling in a plane perpendicular to the vertical plane it is considered as fixed at both ends We know

that load on the link

= F 2 = 2846 2 = 1423 N

Assuming a factor of safety = 5 the links must be designed for a buckling load of

W cr = 1423 times 5 = 7115 N

Let t 1 = Thickness of the link and

b1 = Width of the link

Assuming that the width of the link is three times the thickness of the link ie b1 = 3 t 1 therefore

cross-sectional area of the link A = t 1 times 3t 1 = 3(t 1)2

11) Di7erentia and Co-ond ScrewsThere are certain cases in which a very slow movement of the screw is required whereas in other

cases a very fast movement of the screw is needed The slow movement of the screw may be obtained

by using a small pitch of the threads but it results in weak threads The fast movement of the screw

may be obtained by using multiple-start threads but this method requires expensive machning and

the loss of self-locking property In order to overcome these difficulties differential or compound

screws as discussed below are used

equipments then a differential screw is used It consists of two threads of the same hand (ie right

handed or left handed) but of different pitches wound on the same cylinder or different cylinders as

shown in Fig 1714 It may be noted that when the threads are wound on the same cylinder then two

From the geometry of the figure we find that

Each nut carries half the total load on the jack and due to this the link =D is subjected to tensionwhile the square threaded screw is under pull as shown in Fig 1713 (b) The magnitude of the pull on

the square threaded screw is given by

Due to the load the links may buckle in two planes at right angles to each other For buckling in

the vertical plane (ie in the plane of the links) the links are considered as hinged at both ends and for

buckling in a plane perpendicular to the vertical plane it is considered as fixed at both ends We know

that load on the link

= F 2 = 2846 2 = 1423 N

Assuming a factor of safety = 5 the links must be designed for a buckling load of

W cr = 1423 times 5 = 7115 N

Let t 1 = Thickness of the link and

b1 = Width of the link

Assuming that the width of the link is three times the thickness of the link ie b1 = 3 t 1 therefore

cross-sectional area of the link A = t 1 times 3t 1 = 3(t 1)2

11) Di7erentia and Co-ond ScrewsThere are certain cases in which a very slow movement of the screw is required whereas in other

cases a very fast movement of the screw is needed The slow movement of the screw may be obtained

by using a small pitch of the threads but it results in weak threads The fast movement of the screw

may be obtained by using multiple-start threads but this method requires expensive machning and

the loss of self-locking property In order to overcome these difficulties differential or compound

screws as discussed below are used

equipments then a differential screw is used It consists of two threads of the same hand (ie right

handed or left handed) but of different pitches wound on the same cylinder or different cylinders as

From the geometry of the figure we find that

Due to the load the links may buckle in two planes at right angles to each other For buckling in

the vertical plane (ie in the plane of the links) the links are considered as hinged at both ends and for

buckling in a plane perpendicular to the vertical plane it is considered as fixed at both ends We know

that load on the link

Assuming a factor of safety = 5 the links must be designed for a buckling load of

W cr = 1423 times 5 = 7115 N

Let t 1 = Thickness of the link and

b1 = Width of the link

Assuming that the width of the link is three times the thickness of the link ie b1 = 3 t 1 therefore

11) Di7erentia and Co-ond ScrewsThere are certain cases in which a very slow movement of the screw is required whereas in other

cases a very fast movement of the screw is needed The slow movement of the screw may be obtained

by using a small pitch of the threads but it results in weak threads The fast movement of the screw

may be obtained by using multiple-start threads but this method requires expensive machning and

the loss of self-locking property In order to overcome these difficulties differential or compound

screws as discussed below are used

equipments then a differential screw is used It consists of two threads of the same hand (ie right

handed or left handed) but of different pitches wound on the same cylinder or different cylinders as

shown in Fig 1714 It may be noted that when the threads are wound on the same cylinder then two

Due to the load the links may buckle in two planes at right angles to each other For buckling in

the vertical plane (ie in the plane of the links) the links are considered as hinged at both ends and for

buckling in a plane perpendicular to the vertical plane it is considered as fixed at both ends We know

that load on the link

= F 2 = 2846 2 = 1423 N

Assuming a factor of safety = 5 the links must be designed for a buckling load of

W cr = 1423 times 5 = 7115 N

Let t 1 = Thickness of the link and

b1 = Width of the link

Assuming that the width of the link is three times the thickness of the link ie b1 = 3 t 1 therefore

11) Di7erentia and Co-ond ScrewsThere are certain cases in which a very slow movement of the screw is required whereas in other

cases a very fast movement of the screw is needed The slow movement of the screw may be obtained

by using a small pitch of the threads but it results in weak threads The fast movement of the screw

may be obtained by using multiple-start threads but this method requires expensive machning and

the loss of self-locking property In order to overcome these difficulties differential or compound

screws as discussed below are used

equipments then a differential screw is used It consists of two threads of the same hand (ie right

handed or left handed) but of different pitches wound on the same cylinder or different cylinders as

Due to the load the links may buckle in two planes at right angles to each other For buckling in

the vertical plane (ie in the plane of the links) the links are considered as hinged at both ends and for

buckling in a plane perpendicular to the vertical plane it is considered as fixed at both ends We know

that load on the link

Assuming a factor of safety = 5 the links must be designed for a buckling load of

W cr = 1423 times 5 = 7115 N

Let t 1 = Thickness of the link and

b1 = Width of the link

Assuming that the width of the link is three times the thickness of the link ie b1 = 3 t 1 therefore

11) Di7erentia and Co-ond ScrewsThere are certain cases in which a very slow movement of the screw is required whereas in other

cases a very fast movement of the screw is needed The slow movement of the screw may be obtained

by using a small pitch of the threads but it results in weak threads The fast movement of the screw

may be obtained by using multiple-start threads but this method requires expensive machning and

the loss of self-locking property In order to overcome these difficulties differential or compound

screws as discussed below are used

equipments then a differential screw is used It consists of two threads of the same hand (ie right

handed or left handed) but of different pitches wound on the same cylinder or different cylinders as

shown in Fig 1714 It may be noted that when the threads are wound on the same cylinder then two

11) Di7erentia and Co-ond ScrewsThere are certain cases in which a very slow movement of the screw is required whereas in other

cases a very fast movement of the screw is needed The slow movement of the screw may be obtained

by using a small pitch of the threads but it results in weak threads The fast movement of the screw

may be obtained by using multiple-start threads but this method requires expensive machning and

the loss of self-locking property In order to overcome these difficulties differential or compound

screws as discussed below are used

1 $ierential screw When a slow movement or fine adjustment is desired in precision

equipments then a differential screw is used It consists of two threads of the same hand (ie right

handed or left handed) but of different pitches wound on the same cylinder or different cylinders as

shown in Fig 1714 It may be noted that when the threads are wound on the same cylinder then two
