Axial Load on Screw given Unit Bearing Pressure Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Axial load on screw = pi*Number of Engaged Threads*Unit bearing pressure for nut*((Nominal diameter of screw^2)-(Core diameter of screw^2))/4
W_a = pi*z*S_b*((d^2)-(d_c^2))/4
This formula uses 1 Constants, 5 Variables

Constants Used

pi - Archimedes' constant Value Taken As 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288

Variables Used

Axial load on screw - (Measured in Newton) - Axial load on screw is the instantaneous load applied to the screw along its axis.
Number of Engaged Threads - A number of Engaged Threads of a screw/bolt are the count of threads of the screw/bolt that are currently in engagement with the nut.
Unit bearing pressure for nut - (Measured in Pascal) - Unit bearing pressure for nut is the average pressure acting on the contact surface of the thread in a Screw-Nut pair.
Nominal diameter of screw - (Measured in Meter) - Nominal diameter of screw is defined as the diameter of the cylinder touching the external threads of the screw.
Core diameter of screw - (Measured in Meter) - Core diameter of screw is defined as the smallest diameter of the thread of the screw or nut. The term “minor diameter” replaces the term “core diameter” as applied to the thread of a screw.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Number of Engaged Threads: 9 --> No Conversion Required
Unit bearing pressure for nut: 24.9 Newton per Square Millimeter --> 24900000 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Nominal diameter of screw: 50 Millimeter --> 0.05 Meter (Check conversion here)
Core diameter of screw: 42 Millimeter --> 0.042 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

W_a = pi*z*S_b*((d^2)-(d_c^2))/4 --> pi*9*24900000*((0.05^2)-(0.042^2))/4

Evaluating ... ...

W_a = 129541.688115183

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

129541.688115183 Newton --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

129541.688115183 ≈ 129541.7 Newton <-- Axial load on screw

Mean Diameter of Power Screw

LaTeX Go Mean Diameter of Power Screw = Nominal diameter of screw-0.5*Pitch of power screw thread

Nominal Diameter of Power Screw

LaTeX Go Nominal diameter of screw = Core diameter of screw+Pitch of power screw thread

Core Diameter of Power Screw

LaTeX Go Core diameter of screw = Nominal diameter of screw-Pitch of power screw thread

Pitch of Power Screw

LaTeX Go Pitch of power screw thread = Nominal diameter of screw-Core diameter of screw
