Overall Efficiency of Power Screw Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Efficiency of power screw = Axial load on screw*Lead of Power Screw/(2*pi*Torsional Moment on Screw)
η = W_a*L/(2*pi*Mt_t)
This formula uses 1 Constants, 4 Variables

Constants Used

pi - Archimedes' constant Value Taken As 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288

Variables Used

Efficiency of power screw - Efficiency of power screw refers to how well it converts rotary energy into linear energy or motion.
Axial load on screw - (Measured in Newton) - Axial load on screw is the instantaneous load applied to the screw along its axis.
Lead of Power Screw - (Measured in Meter) - Lead of Power Screw is the linear travel the nut makes per one screw revolution and is how power screws are typically specified.
Torsional Moment on Screw - (Measured in Newton Meter) - Torsional moment on screw is the torque applied which generates a torsion (twist) within the screw body.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Axial load on screw: 131000 Newton --> 131000 Newton No Conversion Required
Lead of Power Screw: 11 Millimeter --> 0.011 Meter (Check conversion here)
Torsional Moment on Screw: 658700 Newton Millimeter --> 658.7 Newton Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

η = W_a*L/(2*pi*Mt_t) --> 131000*0.011/(2*pi*658.7)

Evaluating ... ...

Mean Diameter of Power Screw

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

Nominal Diameter of Power Screw

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

Core Diameter of Power Screw

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

Pitch of Power Screw

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

Overall Efficiency of Power Screw Formula

Efficiency of power screw = Axial load on screw*Lead of Power Screw/(2*pi*Torsional Moment on Screw)
η = W_a*L/(2*pi*Mt_t)

Input Work and Output Work of Power Screw

Work Output in screw-nut pair is the work done in raising/lowering the axial load while the screw is in mid-way penetration.
Input Work in screw-nut pair is the energy required to rotate the screw by 360° while the screw is in mid-way penetration.
