Total Torque Required to Overcome Friction in Rotating Screw Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Total Torque = Weight of Body*tan(Helix Angle+Limiting Angle of Friction)*Mean Diameter of Screw/2+Coefficient of Friction For Collar*Weight of Body*Mean Radius of Collar
T = W*tan(ψ+Φ)*d_m/2+μ_c*W*R_c
This formula uses 1 Functions, 7 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.
Weight of Body - (Measured in Newton) - Weight of Body is the force acting on the object due to gravity.
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.
Coefficient of Friction For Collar - Coefficient of Friction For Collar is the ratio defining the force that resists the motion of one body in relation to another body in contact with it.
Mean Radius of Collar - (Measured in Meter) - Mean Radius of Collar is the mean of inner and outer radius of collar.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Weight of Body: 120 Newton --> 120 Newton No Conversion Required
Helix Angle: 25 Degree --> 0.4363323129985 Radian (Check conversion here)
Limiting Angle of Friction: 2 Degree --> 0.03490658503988 Radian (Check conversion here)
Mean Diameter of Screw: 1.7 Meter --> 1.7 Meter No Conversion Required
Coefficient of Friction For Collar: 0.16 --> No Conversion Required
Mean Radius of Collar: 0.02 Meter --> 0.02 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

T = W*tan(ψ+Φ)*d_m/2+μ_c*W*R_c --> 120*tan(0.4363323129985+0.03490658503988)*1.7/2+0.16*120*0.02

Evaluating ... ...

T = 52.3555958484203

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

52.3555958484203 Newton Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

52.3555958484203 ≈ 52.3556 Newton Meter <-- Total Torque

What is a simple screw jack?

A screw jack is a simple machine. It is used to lift cars or heavy automobiles. It consists of a long screw rod that passes through a threaded block B and a handle. The distance between two consecutive threads is known as the pitch of the screw.

How many types of screw jacks are there?

There are 3 main types of screw jacks: machine/worm gear screw jacks, ball screw jacks, and bevel gear jacks. Within these, there are 3 subcategories related to the mode of operation: Translating, Keyed and Rotating/Traveling nut. The advantages and disadvantages of each type are given below.
