 DESGN & CALCULATION

Given: W = 3 Ton = 30 KN;

H =850 mm;  et =  ec = 200 MPa = 200 N/mm2;  e = 120 MPa = 120N/mm 2 ;  et  nut  =20

MPa =20N/mm2;  ec  nut  =30 MPa =30N/mm2 ;  e  nut  =15 MPa = 15N/mm2 ;  b =18 N/mm2

The various parts of the screw jack is shown in figure & design procedure is given below:

1. DESIGN OF SCREW FOR SPINDLE:

Let dc = Core diameter of the screw

10
Since the screw is under compression, therefore the load (W),

For square threads normal series, the following dimensions are selected from PSG DATA BOOK

Core dia. = dc = 21 mm

Nominal dia. do=24 mm

Pitch of threads p= 5 mm

Now let us check the Principal stresses;

We know that the mean dia. Of screw,

Assuming the friction of co-efficient of friction between screw & nut,

 =tan  = 0.14

 Torque required rotate the screw in the nut,

11
Now compressive stress due to axial load,

And shear stress due to torque,

 Maximum principal stress (tensile or compressive),

We know that maximum shear stress

12
Since the maximum stresses are within limits, therefore design of screwed spindle is safe.

2. Design for nut

Let n = number of threads in contact with the screwed spindle

h = Height of nut = n  p and

t = Thickness of screw

Assume that load is distributed uniformly over the cross section area of nut.

We know that the bearing pressure (  b ),

And height of nut. h = n  p =10  5 =50mm

Now let us check the stress induced in the screw and nut.

13
We know that shear stress in the screw,

And shear stress in nut,

Since these stresses are within permissible limits, therefore design for the nut is safe.

Let D1= Outer diameter of nut ,

D2=Outside diameter for nut collar, and

t1=Thickness of nut collar.

First of all considering the tearing strength of nut, we have

D1 = 67 mm

Now considering the crushing of the collar of the nut, We have

14
Considering the shearing of the collar of the nut, We have

3. Design for handle and cup

Height of cup = 5.3mm

Thickness of cup = 4mm

Diameter of top of cup = 60mm

Now let us find out the torque required (T2) to overcome friction at the top of the screw.

Assuming uniform pressure condition, we have

15
Total torque to which handle is subjected,

Assuming that a force of 200N is applied by a person intermittently, therefore length of handle
required

= 189  103/200 = 900mm

Allowing some length for gripping, we shell take the length of handle as 950mm.

A little consideration will show that an excessive force applied at the end of the lever cause bending.
Considering bending effect, the maximum bending moment on the handle,

M= force applied length of lever

= 200  950 =190  103N-mm

Let D= Diameter of the handle.

Assuming that material of the handle is same as that of screw, therefore taking bending stress

16
We know that bending moment (M),

The height of head (H) is taken as 2D

H =2D=2  13=26mm

Now let us check the screw for bucking load.

We know that the effective length for the buckling of screw,

L = Lift of screw+1/2 Height of nut=H1+h/2

=200+80/2=240mm

When screw reaches the maximum lift, it can be regarded as a strut whose lower end is fixed and the
load end is free, we know that critical load,

17
Since critical load is more than the load at which screw is designed (I.e. 40  103N), therefore there is
no chance of screw to buckle.

4. Design of body

The various dimension of the body may be fixed as follows:

Diameter of the body at the top,

D5 =.82 D2 =67 mm

Thickness of the body,

t3 = 0.25d0 = 6 mm

Inside diameter at the bottom,

D6 = 0.9 D2 = 74 mm

Outside diameter at the bottom,

D7 = 1.5 D6 = 110mm

Thickness of base, t 2 =0.5 t1 = 9.8 mm

Height of the body = maximum lift +height of nut + 100 mm extra

= 200 + 27+ 100 =327 mm

The body is made tapered in order to achieve stability of jack.

Let us now find out the efficiency of the screw jack .we know that the torque req. to rotate the screw
with no friction,

Efficiency of the screw jack,

 IMPROVEMENT
The differential screw jack can be improved in comparison of a simple screw
jack.

Generally the unit consist of two threaded element A &B of different

diameters and pitches, but having threads in the same direction .The
element A is a cylinder with threads on its outer and inner surface .The
threads on outer surface mesh with the thread nut C ; this nut also function
as body of jack .The segment B has threads only on its outer surface and this
engaged with the internal threads of element A

So in this case

 FUTURE SCOPES
The S-Series Screw Jacks
Power Jacks high performance "S-Series" screw jacks are a range of metric screw jacks with a
cubic shaped gearbox designed to have a higher duty cycle and improved mounting flexibility
over conventional single-face worm gear screw jacks. The higher duty rating has been attained
by optimizing the design of the screw jacks worm gearbox for a higher thermal efficiency. In
general, tests showed that the "S-Series" screw jacks had a 50% higher duty cycle than
conventional worm gear screw jacks, for a given lead screw type

Compact screw jack delivers high performance

A new precision machined worm screw jack from Thomson provides powerful, reliable lifting
and positioning in a compact form factor, making it very versatile for materials handling,
hydraulic replacement and complex positioning systems.

37
 The Muli 0 worm gear screw jack extends Thomson's Muli series and is designed specifically to
save space where it’s Muli and Jumbo 1-5 ranges cannot be used. Despite its comparatively
small housing dimensions of 60x50x50mm (L x W x H), the Muli 0 delivers a lifting force of 2.5kN
that enables its tried-and-tested Muli technology - a proven, robust precision worm-gear and
lead screw technology - to be used in more space-critical or complex multi-axis systems.

Muli worm gear screw jacks are suitable for a very broad range of applications where the lifting,
lowering, tilting or rotating of loads is required. They provide particularly high lifting forces and
adjustment speeds with a proven track record for reliability and low maintenance costs. The
Muli 0 is available in both axially shifting (optionally torsionally rigid) screw, and rotating screw
models. The screw itself can be specified with a cost-effective trapezoidal thread or with high-
precision ball screws and preloaded low-backlash options that cater for a broad spectrum of
applications

Worm Gear Screw Jacks

38
Thomson's worm gear screw jacks MULI® and JUMBO® set new engineering
standards for precision and reliability. Designed with state-of-the-art CAD and CAE
systems and adhering to stringent manufacturing requirements, these jacks meet all
the necessary safety, cost-efficiency, and durability mandates of your application.

Large projects can be realized at short notice thanks to the use of preassembled
modules. These modules can be customized to your application's specifications. Above
all, the heart of every MULI® and JUMBO® screw jack is a precision trapezoidal or ball
screw drive of superb quality from Thomson's own screw production. In general, there
are two worm gear screw jack
