Torque Required to Overcome Friction between Screw and Nut Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Total Torque = Load*tan(Helix Angle+Limiting Angle of Friction)*Mean Diameter of Screw/2
T = W_l*tan(ψ+Φ)*d/2
This formula uses 1 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)

Variables Used

Total Torque - (Measured in Newton Meter) - Total Torque is the measure of the force that can cause an object to rotate about an axis. Force is what causes an object to accelerate in linear kinematics.
Load - (Measured in Newton) - Load is the weight of body lifted by screw jack.
Helix Angle - (Measured in Radian) - Helix Angle is the angle between any helix and an axial line on its right, circular cylinder, or cone.
Limiting Angle of Friction - (Measured in Radian) - The Limiting Angle of Friction is defined as the angle which the resultant reaction (R) makes with the normal reaction (RN).
Mean Diameter of Screw - (Measured in Meter) - Mean diameter of Screw is the distance from the outer thread on one side to the outer thread on the other side.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Load: 53 Newton --> 53 Newton No Conversion Required
Helix Angle: 25 Degree --> 0.4363323129985 Radian (Check conversion here)
Limiting Angle of Friction: 12.5 Degree --> 0.21816615649925 Radian (Check conversion here)
Mean Diameter of Screw: 0.06 Meter --> 0.06 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

T = W_l*tan(ψ+Φ)*d/2 --> 53*tan(0.4363323129985+0.21816615649925)*0.06/2

Evaluating ... ...

T = 1.22004991088624

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1.22004991088624 Newton Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

1.22004991088624 ≈ 1.22005 Newton Meter <-- Total Torque
