Power Screws

Table 4 –1 Dimensions and Areas of Coarse-Pitch and


Fine-Pitch Metric Threads.*

* The equations and data used to develop this table have been obtained from ANSI B1.1-1974 and
B18.3.1-1978. The minor diameter was found from the equationd r =d−1 . 2268869 p , and the pitch
diameter from d p=d−64951 ns∧Areas of Coarse−Pitch∧Fine−Pitch Metric Threads.. 9 p . The
mean of the pitch diameter and the minor diameter was used to compute the tensile-stress area.

Table 4 –2; Dimensions and Areas of Unified Screw Threads UNC and
UNF.*

* This table was compiled from ANSI B1.1-1974. The minor diameter was found from the
equation d r =d−1 . 299038 p , and the pitch diameter from d p=d−649519 p. The mean of
the pitch diameter and the minor diameter was used to compute the tensile-stress area.

For square threads:


F d m l+ π f d m
T R= (
2 π d m−fl ) (4 – 1)

TR : The torque required for two purposes: to overcome thread friction and to raise the load.

F d m π f d m −l
T L=
2 (
π d m −fl ) (4 – 2)

TL : The torque required to lower the load,

Thus the condition for self-locking is: π f d m >l


f >tan (4 – 3)

The efficiency of the power screw is:

e= = (4 – 4)
TR 2π TR

For Acme or other threads


F d m 1+ π f d m sec α
T R=
2 (
π d m −fl sec α ) (4 – 5)

Usually a third component of torque must be applied in power-screw applications. When the
screw is loaded axially, a thrust or collar bearing must be employed between the rotating and
stationary members in order to carry the axial component.

If the mean collar diameter dc and fc is the coefficient of collar friction, the torque required
is:
F f c dc
T c= (4 – 6)

Nominal body stresses in power screws can be related to thread parameters as follows. The
maximum nominal shear stress τ in torsion of the screw body can be expressed as:

16 T R
τ= (4 – 7)
π d r3

The axial stress σ in the body of the screw due to load F is:
F 4F
σ= = (4 – 8)

Nominal thread stresses in power screws can be


related to thread parameters as follows. The bearing
stress in Fig. 3–8, σB, is:

−F 2F
σ B= =
π d m nt p /2 π d m nt p
(4 – 10)

Where nt is the number of engaged threads. The bending


stress at the root of the thread σb is found from:

The transverse shear stress τ at the center of the root of the thread due to load F is

τ= = =

(4 – 12)

Moreover, at the top of the root it is zero. The von Mises stress σ′ at the top of the root
“plane” is found by first identifying the orthogonal normal stresses and the shear stresses. From the
coordinate system of Fig. 3–8, we note:
Then use xyz components of three-dimensional stress, the von
Mises stress which can be written as in Eq; (4-13)
