Design of toggle jack- Assumed data

Lifting
load = 4KN
Number of Link = 8
Length of the link = 110 mm
Materials for the screw, Nut and pins = M.S.
for M.S. = 100 MPa
for M.S. = 50 MPa
Limited bearing pressure = 20 MPa
Pitch of the screw thread = 6 mm
Co-efficient of the friction = 0.20
Toggle Jack
Design of screw
 Design of Square threaded screw

Maximum load on screw

occurs when the jack is in
the bottom position.
From figure
=
= 35.1
 Design of Square threaded screw

Each
nut carries half the total
load on the jack
Link CD is subjected to
tension while the square
threaded screw is under pull.
F = = = 2846N
This similar pull acts on other
nut,therefore total tensile
load on square threaded rod
= 2F =5692N
 Design of Square threaded screw

Now considering tensile

failure of the screw
= * *
5692= * *100
= 8.5 mm say 10 mm
Since the screw is also
subjected to shear stress,
therefore let
= 14 mm
 Design of Square threaded screw

Outer Diameter of screw

= + P = 14+6
= 20 mm.
Mean Diameter of screw
d = - = 20 3
d = 17 mm
Checking of the screw for principal
stress
= = = 0.1123
Effort required to rotate
the screw
P = *)
P = ()
= 5692()
P = 1822N
Checking of the screw for stress

Torque required to rotate

the screw
T = P* = 1822*17/2
T = 15487 N.mm Direct Tensile stresses in the screw
= =
Shear stress due to torque = 37 N/

= 16 =
= 28.7 N/
Checking for maximum principal
stress
Maximum Principal stress
= + +4 Maximum shear stress

=+ = +4

=

= 52.6 N/ = 34.1 N/

Since the maximum stresses are within limit,

therefore design of square threaded screw is safe.
Design of Nut
 Number of threads

Let n is the number of the

threads, which can be find
by considering bearing
failure of nut.
=20= =
n = 1.776
Inorder to have good
stability and to prevent
rocking of the screw let n =
4
 Dimensions of the Nut

Thickness of nut
t = n*p = 4*6
t = 24 mm.
Width of the nut
b = 1.5*=1.5*20
b = 30 mm
 Length of the screw

To control the movements of the

nuts beyond 210mm , rings of 8mm
thickness are fitted on the screw
with the help of set screw.

length of screwed portion

= 210 + 24 + 2*8 = 250
mm
Since screw is operated by spanner,
therefore extra 15 mm length both
sides are provided.

Total length = 250 + (2*15) =

280 mm
 Length of spanner

Assuming that a force of

150 N is applied by each
person at each end of the
rod,
T = 150*2*Length of
spanner
15487 = 150*2*L
Length of spanner =
51.62 mm
We shall take length of
spanner as 200 mm in
 Design of the pins in the Nuts
Let is diameter of the pin.
Considering double shear
of the pin.
F = 2**
2846 = 2**50
= 6.02 mm 8mm
Design of the Links
 Load acting on Link
Load on the link = F/2 =
2846/2 = 1423 N
Assuming factor of safety =
5
= 5*1423 = 7115 N
 Dimensions of the link
Let
= thickness of the link
Let = width of the link
Assuming .
cross sectional area of the
link ,A
A = * =
Moment of inertia of the
cross section ,I
I = ** = 2.25
Radius of gyration k
K = = 0.866
 Buckling of the link in vertical plane
In buckling in vertical
plane link is considered as
hinged.
Therefore, L = l = 110 mm
Rankines constant a =
According to Rankines
formula for column,
=
 Buckling of the link in vertical plane

7115 =
= = 25.7
= 5.07 mm 6mm
and
= 3*6 = 18 mm
Buckling of the link in plane perpendicular to vertical plane

I = *3* = 0.25
A=*=
K = = 0.29
Since the buckling of the
link in plane perpendicular
to the vertical plane, the
ends are considered as
the fixed.
L = l/2 = 110/2 = 55mm
 Buckling of the link in plane perpendicular to
vertical plane
According
to Rankine's formula =
=
Taking = 6 mm
= 9532 N.
Since buckling load is more then the calculated
value,
link is safe in design.

So dimension of the link

= 6mm and
= 18 mm
