The screw of shaft straightener exerts a load of 30 as shown in Figure . The screw is square threaded of outside diameter 75 mm and 6 mm pitch. force required at the rim of a 300mm diameter hand wheel, if there is a collar
bearing of 50 mm mean diameter provided in the arrangement to exert axial
load. Assume the coefficient of friction for the collar as 0.2.

See calculation below

Explanation:

Given:

W = 30 kN = 30x10³ N

d = 75 mm

p = 6 mm

D = 300 mm

μ = tan Φ = 0.2

1. Force required at the rim of handwheel

Let P₁ = Force required at the rim of handwheel

Inner diameter or core diameter of the screw = dc = do - p = 75 - 6 = 69 mm

Mean diameter of screw:    *d = = (75 + 69) / 2 = 72 mm

and

tan α = p / πd  =  6 / (π x 72)  =  0.0265

∴ Torque required to overcome friction at he threads is  T = P x d/2

T = W tan (α + Ф) d/2

T =  

T = 30x10³ * ((0.0265 + 0.2) / (1 - 0.0265 x 0.2)) x 72/2

T = 245,400 N-mm

We know that the torque required at the rim of handwheel (T)

245,400 = P1 x D/2 = P1 x (300/2) = 150 P1

P1 = 245,400 / 150

P1 = 1636 N

2. Maximum compressive stress in the screw

                         30x10³

Qc = W / Ac = -------------- = 8.02 N/mm²

                      π/4 * 69²

Qc = 8.02 MPa

Bearing pressure on the threads (we know that number of threads in contact with the nut)

n = height of nut / pitch of threads = 150 / 6 = 25 threads

thickness of threads, t = p/2 = 6/2 = 3 mm

bearing pressure on the threads = Pb = W / (π d t n)

Pb = 30 x 10³ / (π * 72 * 3 * 25)

Pb = 1.77 N/mm²

Max shear stress on the threads = τ = 16 T / (π dc³)

τ = (16 * 245,400) / ( π * 69³ )

τ = 3.8 M/mm²

*the mean dia of the screw (d) = d = do - p/2 = 75 - 6/2 = 72

∴max shear stress in the threads τmax = 1/2 * sqrt(8.02² + (4 * 3.8²))

τmax = 5.5 Mpa

3. efficiency of the straightener

To = W tan α x d/2 = 30x10³ * 0.0265 * 72/2 = 28,620 N-mm

∴Efficiency of the straightener is η =  To / T = 28,620 / 245,400

η = 0.116 or 11.6%
