Coefficient of Friction of Power Screw given Torque Required in Lifting Load with Acme Thread Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Coefficient of friction at screw thread = (2*Torque for lifting load-Load on screw*Mean Diameter of Power Screw*tan(Helix angle of screw))/(sec(0.253)*(Load on screw*Mean Diameter of Power Screw+2*Torque for lifting load*tan(Helix angle of screw)))
μ = (2*Mt_li-W*d_m*tan(α))/(sec(0.253)*(W*d_m+2*Mt_li*tan(α)))
This formula uses 2 Functions, 5 Variables

Functions Used

tan - The tangent of an angle is a trigonometric ratio of the length of the side opposite an angle to the length of the side adjacent to an angle in a right triangle., tan(Angle)
sec - Secant is a trigonometric function that is defined ratio of the hypotenuse to the shorter side adjacent to an acute angle (in a right-angled triangle); the reciprocal of a cosine., sec(Angle)

Variables Used

Coefficient of friction at screw thread - Coefficient of friction at screw thread is the ratio defining the force that resists the motion of the nut in relation to the threads in contact with it.
Torque for lifting load - (Measured in Newton Meter) - Torque for lifting load is described as the turning effect of force on the axis of rotation that is required in lifting the load.
Load on screw - (Measured in Newton) - Load on screw is defined as the weight (force) of the body that is acted upon the screw threads.
Mean Diameter of Power Screw - (Measured in Meter) - Mean Diameter of Power Screw is the average diameter of the bearing surface - or more accurately, twice the average distance from the centreline of the thread to the bearing surface.
Helix angle of screw - (Measured in Radian) - Helix angle of screw is defined as the angle subtended between this unwound circumferential line and the pitch of the helix.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Torque for lifting load: 9265 Newton Millimeter --> 9.265 Newton Meter (Check conversion here)
