A square-thread power screw has a major diameter of 32 mm and a pitch of 4 mm with single threads, and it is used to raise a load putting a force of 6.5 kN on the screw. The coefficient of friction for both the collar and screw is .08. If the torque from the motored used to raise the load is limited to 26 N*m, what is the largest value that the mean diameter of the collar can be?

Answer:

54mm.

Step-by-step explanation:

So, we are given the following data or parameters or information that is going to assist in solving this type of question efficiently;

=> "A square-thread power screw has a major diameter of 32 mm"

=> "a pitch of 4 mm with single threads"

=> " and it is used to raise a load putting a force of 6.5 kN on the screw."

=> The coefficient of friction for both the collar and screw is .08."

=> "If the torque from the motored used to raise the load is limited to 26 N×M."

Step one: determine the lead angle. The lead angle can be calculated by using the formula below;

Lead angle = Tan^- (bg × T/ Jh × π ).

=> Jh = J - T/ 2. = 32 - 4/2. = 30mm.

Lead angle = Tan^- { 1 × 4/ π × 30} = 2.43°.

Step two: determine the Torque required to against thread friction.

Starting from; phi = tan^-1 ( 0.08) = 4.57°.

Torque required to against thread friction = W × Jh/2 × tan (lead angle + phi).

Torque required to against thread friction =( 6500 × 30/2) × tan ( 2.43° + 4.57°). = 11971.49Nmm.

Step three: determine the Torque required to against collar friction.

=> 2600 - 11971.49Nmm = 14028.51Nmm.

Step four = determine the mean collar friction.

Mean collar friction = 14028.51Nmm/0.08 × 6500 = 27mm

The mean collar diameter = 27 × 2 = 54mm.
