Coefficient of Friction for Screw Thread given Efficiency of Square Threaded Screw Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Coefficient of friction at screw thread = (tan(Helix angle of screw)*(1-Efficiency of power screw))/(tan(Helix angle of screw)*tan(Helix angle of screw)+Efficiency of power screw)
μ = (tan(α)*(1-η))/(tan(α)*tan(α)+η)
This formula uses 1 Functions, 3 Variables

Functions Used

tan - The tangent of an angle is a trigonometric ratio of the length of the side opposite an angle to the length of the side adjacent to an angle in a right triangle., tan(Angle)

Variables Used

Coefficient of friction at screw thread - Coefficient of friction at screw thread is the ratio defining the force that resists the motion of the nut in relation to the threads in contact with it.
Helix angle of screw - (Measured in Radian) - Helix angle of screw is defined as the angle subtended between this unwound circumferential line and the pitch of the helix.
Efficiency of power screw - Efficiency of power screw refers to how well it converts rotary energy into linear energy or motion.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Helix angle of screw: 4.5 Degree --> 0.0785398163397301 Radian (Check conversion here)
