Self locking screw

IES-69. What is the efficiency of a self-locking power screw? [IES-2006; 1997]
(a) 70% (b) 60% (c) 55% (d) < 50 %
IES-69Ans. (d) We know that the frictional torque for square thread at mean radius while
raising load is given by WRo tan(φ − α )
Where: (W = load; Ro = Mean Radius; ϕ = Angle of friction; α = Helix angle)
For self locking, angle of friction should be greater than helix angle of screw So that
WRo tan(φ − α ) will become positive. i.e. we have to give torque to lowering the load.

(a) Larger than friction angle (b) smaller than friction angle. [IES-1996]
(c) Equal to friction angle (d) such as to give maximum efficiency in lifting.

(c) (d)
1 + sin ϕ 1 + sin(ϕ / 2)
IES-71Ans. (c)
⎛ 1 − sin φ ⎞
IES-72. Assertion (A): The maximum efficiency ⎜η = ⎟ of a screw jack is same,
⎝ 1 + sin φ ⎠
where ɽ is the friction angle, for both motion up and motion down the plane.
Reason (R): The condition for the maximum efficiency for motion up and motion
π φ
down the plane is same, given by α = − where α = helix angle. [IES-2003]
