Problem 1
Solution 1
Problem 2
The cutting speed of a broaching machine is 9 m per minute. The cutter
of the machine is pulled by a square-threaded screw with a nominal
diameter of 60 mm and a pitch 12-mm. The operating nut takes an axial
load of 500 N on a flat surface of 80 mm external diameter and 48 mm
internal diameter. Determine the power required to rotate the operating
nut. Take µ = 0.14 for all contact surfaces on the nut.
Solution 2
Problem 3
The following data relate to a screw jack:
Pitch of the threaded screw = 8mm; Diameter of the threaded screw = 40 mm;
Coefficient of friction between screw and nut = 0.1; Load = 20 kN
Assuming that the load rotates with the screw, determine the
(i) ratio of torques required to raise and lower the load
(ii) efficiency of the machine.
Solution 3
Problem 4
A screw jack raises a load of 16 kN through a distance of 150 mm. The
mean diameter and the pitch of the screw are 56 mm and 10 mm
respectively. Determine the work done and the efficiency of the screw
jack when the;
(i) load rotates with the screw
(ii) loose head on which the load rests does not rotate with the screw
and the outside and the inside diameters of the bearing surface of
the loose head are 50 mm and 10 mm respectively.
Take coefficient of friction for the screw and the bearing surface as 0.11.
