11 IntrodctionThe power screws (also known as translation screws)
are used to convert rotary motion into translatory motion
For example in the case of the lead screw of lathe the rotarymotion 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

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

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)

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

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

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

(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 dc t and shear stress for nut
where

n = Number of threads in engagement
4riction between the threads of screw
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 toggle jack may be designed as discussed below
1 $esin o square threaded screw
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 width of the nut (b) is taken as 15 do

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

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

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)

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
W
n dc t and shear stress for nut
where
W
n do t W = Axial load on the screw
n = Number of threads in engagement
4riction between the threads of screw
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
W W pb =

4d = Mean diameter of screw
t = Thickness or width of screw = p 2 and
n = Number of threads in contact with the nut

the screw and nut may be obtained

1 $esin o square threaded screw
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

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

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)
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

(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)
or
(sin lang + prop cos lang)
(cos lang minus prop sin lang)Substituting the value of prop = tan in the above equation we get
sin lang + tan cos lang
cos lang minus tan sin langMultiplying the numerator and denominator
by cos we have

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

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

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 dc t and shear stress for nut
where
W
n do t W = Axial load on the screw
n = Number of threads in engagement
4riction between the threads of screw
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
W W pb =

t = Thickness or width of screw = p 2 and
n = Number of threads in contact with the nut

the screw and nut may be obtained

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

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

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

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
where

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

Let n = Number of threads in contact with the screwed spindle
h = Height of nut = n times p 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
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

1 $esin o square threaded screw
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

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

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)

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

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

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

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 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
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

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
where

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

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
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

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

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

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

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

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

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 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

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

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

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

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

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

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
W
n dc t and shear stress for nut
where
W

n = Number of threads in engagement
4riction between the threads of screw
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
W W pb =

4d = Mean diameter of screw
t = Thickness or width of screw = p 2 and
n = Number of threads in contact with the nut

the screw and nut may be obtained

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
= 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

1 $esin o square threaded screw
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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 =
thread
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

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
W
n dc t and shear stress for nut
where
W

n = Number of threads in engagement
4riction between the threads of screw
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

4d = Mean diameter of screw
t = Thickness or width of screw = p 2 and
n = Number of threads in contact with the nut

the screw and nut may be obtained

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)

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

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

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

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 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

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)

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

(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

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

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

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

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$ 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
W
n dc t and shear stress for nut
where
W
n do t W = Axial load on the screw
n = Number of threads in engagement
4riction between the threads of screw
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
W W pb =

4d = Mean diameter of screw
t = Thickness or width of screw = p 2 and
n = Number of threads in contact with the nut

the screw and nut may be obtained

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
and the load end is free We know that critical load

therefore there is no chance of the screw to buckle

1 $esin o square threaded screw
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

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

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

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

where

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

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)
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

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 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)
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

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
and the load end is free We know that critical load

therefore there is no chance of the screw to buckle

1 $esin o square threaded screw
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

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

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

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

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

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 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

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

nuts are employed as shown in Fig 1714 (a) and when the threads are wound on different cylindersthen only one nut is employed as shown in Fig 1714 (b)

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

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
= 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 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 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

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
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

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

therefore there is no chance of the screw to buckle

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)
there4 (dc )2 = 80 times 103 7855 = 10185 or dc = 32 mmFor square threads of normal series the following dimensions of the screw are selected from
Table 172

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
2 $esin or nut
Let n = Number of threads in contact with the screwed spindle
h = Height of nut = n times p and

3 $esin or handle and cup
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

The toggle jack may be designed as discussed below
1 $esin o square threaded screw
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

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

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

1 $esin o square threaded screw
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

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

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
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

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
= 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

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)
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

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) 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 toggle jack may be designed as discussed below
1 $esin o square threaded screw
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

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

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 toggle jack may be designed as discussed below
1 $esin o square threaded screw
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 width of the nut (b) is taken as 15 do
there4 b = 15 do = 15 times 20 = 30 mm AnsTo control the movement of the nuts beyond 210 mm (the maximum distance between the
centre lines of nuts) rings of 8 mm thickness are fitted on the screw with the help of set screws

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

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

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

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

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
