Helix Angle of Power Screw given Torque Required in Lowering Load Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Helix angle of screw = atan((Coefficient of friction at screw thread*Load on screw*Mean Diameter of Power Screw-(2*Torque for lowering load))/(2*Torque for lowering load*Coefficient of friction at screw thread+(Load on screw*Mean Diameter of Power Screw)))
α = atan((μ*W*d_m-(2*Mt_lo))/(2*Mt_lo*μ+(W*d_m)))
This formula uses 2 Functions, 5 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)
atan - Inverse tan is used to calculate the angle by applying the tangent ratio of the angle, which is the opposite side divided by the adjacent side of the right triangle., atan(Number)

Variables Used

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.
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.
Load on screw - (Measured in Newton) - Load on screw is defined as the weight (force) of the body that is acted upon the screw threads.
Mean Diameter of Power Screw - (Measured in Meter) - Mean Diameter of Power Screw is the average diameter of the bearing surface - or more accurately, twice the average distance from the centreline of the thread to the bearing surface.
Torque for lowering load - (Measured in Newton Meter) - Torque for lowering load is described as the turning effect of force on the axis of rotation that is required in lowering the load.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Coefficient of friction at screw thread: 0.15 --> No Conversion Required
Load on screw: 1700 Newton --> 1700 Newton No Conversion Required
Mean Diameter of Power Screw: 46 Millimeter --> 0.046 Meter (Check conversion here)
Torque for lowering load: 2960 Newton Millimeter --> 2.96 Newton Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

α = atan((μ*W*d_m-(2*Mt_lo))/(2*Mt_lo*μ+(W*d_m))) --> atan((0.15*1700*0.046-(2*2.96))/(2*2.96*0.15+(1700*0.046)))

Evaluating ... ...

α = 0.0733307459615802

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.0733307459615802 Radian -->4.20154225214534 Degree (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

4.20154225214534 ≈ 4.201542 Degree <-- Helix angle of screw
