POWER SCREW
Power screw is a mechanical device used to convert rotary motion into linear motion and to
transmit power. Unlike the threaded fasteners which are used to clamp the machine members,
power screws are used to transmit power.

Applications of power screws

1. It is used to raise the load e.g. screw jack
2. It is used to obtain a precise motion e.g. lead screw of lathe
3. It is used to load a specimen e.g. universal testing machine
4. It is used to clamp a workpiece e.g. vice
Advantages offered by power screws
1. It has large load carrying capacity
2. It can be designed with self-locking property. Screw jack is the perfect example of this.
3. Because of few parts it is cheap and reliable
4. It gives smooth and noiseless service
5. It requires almost no maintenance
6. It provides very precise motion which is required in machine tool applications
7. It gives very high mechanical advantage hence used in screw jacks, clamps, valves and
vices.
8. Its manufacturing is easy and does not required any specialized machinery
9. It is simple to design
10. Overall dimensions of power screw are small which results in compact construction
Disadvantages of power screws
1. It has poor efficiency
2. Due to high friction, wear is a serious problem in power screws

Power screw comprises of two main components:

screw and nut, and can operate in following three ways:

1. Screw rotates in bearings and nut moves axially

2. Screw rotates and also moves axially while nut is kept fixed
3. Nut rotates and screw moves in axial direction

Thread Forms for Power Screws

Thread forms used in threaded fasteners are not suitable for power screws. The purpose of
threads used in fasteners is to provide high friction to minimize the chances of loosening. But in
power screws, low friction between nut and bolt is desired as those are to be used for power
transmission. Types of threads commonly used for power screws are:

i) Square Threads ii) Acme or Trapezoidal Threads iii) Buttress Thread

These thread forms are shown in figure

Sq
uare Threads

Square thread can be used to transmit power in either direction. Square threads have maximum
efficiency and there is no radial or bursting pressure on the nut, increasing the life of the nut and
making its motion uniform. But it is difficult to manufacture square threads. These are difficult
to cut with taps and dies and are usually cut on a lathe with a single point cutting tool, making it
expensive. Also, it is not possible to compensate for wear in square threads as split nut cannot be
used with it. Therefore, nut or screw has to be replaced, when worn out. The square threads are
used in screw jacks, presses and clamping devices.

Acme or Trapezoidal Threads

Acme thread is used for power transmission. It has higher load carrying capacity in comparison
to square threads, because of larger root thickness. Acme threads are manufactured on a milling
machine using a multi-point cutting tool and are therefore economical to cut. Due to the slope
provided on its sides, efficiency of acme threads is less than the square threads and the nut is
subjected to radial or bursting pressure. Wear can be compensated in this case by using split nut,
which is a nut cut into two halves along its diameter. These two halves are tightened together
after certain intervals to take care of the wear taken place.

Buttress Thread

Buttress thread is designed to take large loads in one direction. This is the strongest of the thread
forms due to greater root thickness. Its efficiency is comparable with the square threads, is easier
to cut and is compatible with the split nut also. Buttress thread finds its application in light jack
screws and vices.

Available Lifting Devices –

1. Scissor Jack(Toggle)

2.Floor Jack

Floor jacks are essential tools that assist you in elevating the car you are working on . these
gadgets are powerful and do not need a lot of mechanical knowledge to use .

Consider the vehicle weight when selecting floor jacks for your car . floor jacks should generally
be rated for at least once three fourths of your vehicles weight.

3.Bottle Jack

A bottle jack is a hydraulic jack with an expanded cylindrical body that resembles a bottle . they
can carry greater weight . they also raise the car off the ground . one of the drawbacks of this
function is that I requires a greater starting clearance making it more challenging to operate on
lower cars .

4.Hi Lift Jack

These are also farm jacks used to pull a vehicle out of the mud or when a wench is required.
These can rise a car up to 5 feet off the ground and are rated at 7000 pounds.

5.Transmission jack

Transmission jacks lift , lower and position a transmission to safely and easily remove , repair or
install it . they have an adjustable head for aligning with transmission bolts patterns and pins.
These heavy duty jacks have casters for mobility and straps or chains to secure equipment when
moving.

6. Hand pallet truck jack :- it is a material handling and movement tool that is widelu used in
manufacturing industries, logistic and transportation hub, floor shop and factories. A hand pallet
truck is manual and hand held smaller version of forklift( which generally has a huge dimension
and battery operated).

7. Trolley Jack :- trolly jack is a mechanical lifting device used to apply great forces or lift heavy
loads. A mechanical jak employs a screw thread for lifting heavy equipment. A hydraulic jack
uses hydraulic power. Most commonly used in car jack, floor jack or garage jack, which lift the
cars to perform the maintainance. Jack can used for maximum lift like 1.5 ton or 3 ton
