CALCULATION FOR SCREW

To find out the power of the motor that can lift load of 50kg

We know,

Major Screw dia (do) =12mm

Pitch of screw ( p) = 3mm

Mean dia , d = do - p/2

= 12-3/2

d=10.5mm

tan∞ =p/ πd

tan∞=3/π x10.5

tan∞ =0.091

Assuming co efficient of friction, tanθ =0.1

Load to be raised =50 kg

W =500N

P = effort required to raise the load

P = W X tan (∞+θ)

= W X (tan ∞+ tan θ)/ (1-tan∞Xtan θ)

= 500 X (0.091 +0.1)/ (1-0.091X0.1)

=500 X (0.191/0.99)
 P =96N

Torque required operating the screw

T=P X d/2

T =96 X10.5/2

T =504 X10-3 Nm

Since the screw moves in the nut at a speed of 65mm/min of speed of

revolutions is minute is,

N =speed in mm/min/pitch in mm

N = 65/3(pitch)

=21.6 (22 rpm)

Power of the motors required,

P=TXω

Where ω is = 2 X π X N/60

P=TXω

P = 504 X10-3 X 2 X π X 22/60

P = 1.16 watts
