C) The lead screw of a lathe machine is provided with Acme threads having 50 mm
outside diameter and 8 mm pitch. The axial force exerted by lead screw is 2500 N.
The collar subjected to thrust in the carriage has 110 mm outside diameter and 55 mm 2/4 6
inside diameter and the lead screw rotates at 30 rpm. The coefficient of friction for
screw is 0.15 and that for collar is 0.12 . Determine 1) The power required to drive
the screw and 2) The efficiency of the lead screw.
