SCREW J1 UNIT 5 SCREW OBJECTIVES General Objective : To understand the concept of the work i ng of a screw. Specific Objectives : At the en d of thi s u n it you should be able to : state the ter m s that are im portan t for the study of screw. match the prin c ip le of screw working to that of fr i cti o n o n a nin c li n e d plane. use these s u i table concepts to solve p r o ble m i n v o lve. calculate the answerusing these concepts correctly.

Calculate the p itc hof a single-start square threaded screw of a jack w h ich wil l justallow the load to fall un i f or mly under i t s ownweight. The me an diameter of the
threads is 8 cm and μ= 0.08. If the p itch i s 15mm, what is the torque
required to lower a load of 3 kN?
Solution 5.2
If the load i s to fall u n if or mly under i t s ownweight, α = Ι
If the angle of f r ictio n i sgreater than the angle of the p lane , then i t c an be seenf rom the tr i angle of force, that force P must be applied to help lower the load.

(a) the axi a lload o n the screw i n k ilogrammes
(b) the torque required to loosen the nut. μ = 0.1.

5.4 A screw press is used to compr ess books. The thread i sdouble thread (square head)

the contact surfaces of the threads is 0.3. Determine the torque required for a pressureof
When the load moves down an d overcomes the thread f r iction by its ownweight, i t i ssai dto overhaul . When i tmove s downagai n s ta res istin g force P we found that
P = W tan ( χ c χ )
When the load overhauls, P = 0
Therefore,
tan ( χ c χ ) = 0
χ c χ = 0
χ = χ
Hence,
when the angle of the inclined plane is equal to the angle of the friction the load wi l loverhaul .
