    Threaded fasteners such as screws and bolts are used to hold machine parts together by forming helical grooves on cylindrical surfaces. There are different types of screw threads including triangular, square, and Acme threads. Force and stress analyses can be performed on power screws to determine the torque required to raise or lower loads. Stresses in the threaded components are estimated based on bending, shear, bearing pressure, and torsional stresses. Fasteners are called screws if used with tapped holes and bolts if used with nuts.

    Threaded fasteners

    Used for holding two or more machine parts together or for adjusting one part with relation to another Screw threads are formed by cutting a helical groove on a cylindrical surface

    Forms of screw threads


    Triangular or V-threads Square threads

    Square Thread forms

    Acme thread is most common Widely used in machine tools

    Triangular or V-threads

    Thread Proportions

    Tensile Stress Area ( At )

    Cross sectional area of the rod having a diameter equal to the mean of the pitch diameter and minor (or root) diameter

    Metric threads are specified by writing the diameter and the pitch in millimeters in that order

    Ex: M 12 1.75 is a thread having a nominal major diameter of 12 mm and a pitch of 1.75 mm

    Mechanics of Power Screws

    Power screw is a device used in machinery to change angular motion into linear motion and, usually to transmit power

    Ex: Lead screws of lathes, screws for vises, presses and jacks

    In a screw jack, the torque T required to raise a load and to lower it are of prime importance Another parameter is the efficiency

    Depends on the thread geometry and the coefficient of friction

    Self-locking when a finite torque is required for lowering Overhauling occurs when the lowering torque becomes zero

    Force Analysis for a square threaded power screw

    Imagine the thread to be unrolled

    For lifting the load

    FH = P N sin N cos = 0 FV = F + N sin N cos = 0

    For lowering the load

    FH = P N sin + N cos = 0 FV = F N sin N cos = 0

    Force Diagram : (a) Lifting the load (b) Lowering the load

    Force Analysis (contd)

    For raising the load, the force required is F ( sin + cos ) P= cos sin For lowering the load,

    F ( cos sin P= cos + sin

    The corresponding torques required are given by,

    Pd m T= 2

    , where

    dm

    is the mean diameter

    For an acme threaded power screw with collar of mean diameter, dc, the torque equation is suitably modified

    Force Analysis (contd)

    For an Acme thread of included angle , it can be shown that the torque required to raise the load is,
    cos tan + T = F rm cos tan dc + c 2

    For lowering the load,


    cos tan + T = F rm cos + tan

    dc + c 2

    c is the collar friction coefficient

    Force Analysis (contd)

    If there is no friction ( = c= 0 ), the torque required to raise the load is,

    Fl T0 = 2

    The efficiency is then defined as,

    T0 = T

    Stress Analysis

    Stresses in the thread are estimated by considering the thread to be a short cantilever beam projecting from the root cylinder Bending stress, Shear stress,
    b

    My Fh 2 b 2 = I ( 2 rm n ) b3 12
    Some designers use ri instead of rm

    F s= 2 nrm b

    Bearing pressure between the surfaces of screw and nut threads, p = F ( 2 nrm h ) Stresses in the root cylinder

    Torsional shear stress,

    = 2T ( ri )
    2

    Direct tensile (or compressive) stress,

    = F root area = F ( ri ) or

    F stress area

    Threaded Fasteners

    Fasteners are named according to how they are intended to be used

    If the primary purpose is assembly into a tapped hole, it is a screw

    Tightened by exerting torque on the head

    If the product is intended to be used with a nut, it is a bolt

    Tightened by exerting torque on the nut
