    The document discusses power screws, which convert rotary motion into linear motion. It describes different types of screw threads used for power screws, including square, acme/trapezoidal, and buttress threads. Multiple thread power screws can provide a large lead with fine threads or high efficiency. The document also provides equations to calculate the torque required to raise a load using a square threaded power screw, accounting for factors like pitch, diameter, helix angle, load weight, and coefficient of friction.

    POWER SCREW
    Introduction

    • The power screws (also known as translation


    screws) are used to convert rotary motion into
    translatory motion.
    e.g. ----
    Types of Screw Threads used for Power
    Screws

    • 1. Square thread

    • 2. Acme or trapezoidal thread

    • 3. Buttress thread.
    1. Square thread.
    Acme or trapezoidal thread.
    Buttress thread
    Multiple 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.
    Torque Required to Raise Load by Square
    Threaded Screws
    • Let p = Pitch of the screw,
    • d = Mean diameter of the screw,
    • α = Helix angle,
    • P = Effort applied at the circumference of the screw to lift
    the load,
    • W = Load to be lifted, and
    • μ = Coefficient of friction, between the screw and nut
    • μ = Coefficient of friction, between the screw and nut
    = tan φ, where φ is the friction angle.

    From the geometry of the we find that


    tan α = p / π d
    • force applied on the circumference of a screw jack may
    be considered to be horizontal as shown in Fig. (b).
    • Since the load is being lifted, therefore the force of
    friction (F = μ.RN ) will act downwards. All the forces
    acting on the body are shown in Fig. (b).
    Resolving the forces along the plane,
    P cos α = W sin α + F = W sin α + μ.RN ...(i)
    and resolving the forces perpendicular to the plane,
    RN = P sin α + W cos α ...(ii)
    Substituting this value of RN in equation (i),
    we have
    P cos α = W sin α + μ (P sin α + W cos α)
    = W sin α + μ P sin α + μW cos α
    P cos α – μ P sin α = W sin α + μW cos α
    P (cos α – μ sin α) = W (sin α + μ cos α)
    Substituting the value of μ = tan φ in the above equation,
    we get
    Multiplying the numerator and denominator by cos φ.
    we have
    Torque required to overcome friction between
    the screw and nut.

    When the axial load is taken up by a thrust collar as


    shown in so that the load does not rotate with the
    screw, then the torque required to overcome friction
    at the collar,
