Design specifications.

⬧ Spacing range is 6”x6” on the XY table.

⬧ Mass Platform Load 60 lbs., including platform weight.
⬧ One power screw will be used for the X axis and another power screw for the Y axis.
⬧ One motor will be used for each power screw.
⬧ The pitch angle is 0.5°.
⬧ The external load on the platform includes an axial force of 20 lbs along the y-direction, which
has an offset height of 1.0" from the top level of the XY table.
⬧ The resolution of the linear motion should be greater than 10 μm
⬧ It will have bearings at each end.
⬧ The speed should be less than 25 mm/s.
⬧ The screws are of the ACME type.
⬧ Safety design factor nd=1.75

Torque calculation

Axis X

We select a μ =0.17, according to table 3, since it shows us the coefficient of friction in lubricated contact
surfaces.

𝐹= 𝜇
The force F opposes the movement of the nut. P= μ*W, μ is the coefficient of contact friction and W is
the total load.

𝑃 = 𝜇∗𝑊
𝑃 = 0.17 ∗ 60 𝑙𝑏
𝑃 = 10.2 𝑙𝑏
In Table 3, we select the first option.

Calculate the total inertia.

In table 4 we can choose VRDM 364 because it has a nominal torque of 0.45Nm which is equal to 3.98
