 7.1 Introduction

 This chapter is devoted to the analysis and design of power screws,

threaded fasteners, bolted joints in shear, and permanent connectors
such as rivets and weldments.
 Power screws are threaded devices used mainly to move loads or
accurately position objects. They are employed in machines for
obtaining motion of translation and also for exerting forces.
 The kinematics of power screws is the same as that for nuts and
screws, the only difference being the geometry of the threads. Power
screws find applications as motion devices

Lead L represents the axial distance that a nut moves, or advances, for one
revolution of the screw.
