Find the torque required to drive a 16-mm single-start square thread power screw with a 2 mm pitch.
1. Repeat problem 12-7 if everything remains the same except that the power screw has double square threads. 2.A 40-mm rotating power screw with triple square threads has a pitch of . The screw is to be used to lift a 22 kN load at a speed of 4 m/min. Friction coefficients for both the…

Estimate the torque required to “raise” the load.
1. A 20-mm power screw for a hand-cranked arbor press is to have a single-start square thread with a pitch of 4 mm. The screw is to be subjected to an axial load of 5 kN. The coefficient of friction for both threads and collar is estimated to be about 0.09. The mean friction diameter…

Examine a number of large flood gates installed in 1931 for irrigation control at a remote site on the Indus River in Pakistan.
1.You have been assigned the task of examining a number of large flood gates installed in 1931 for irrigation control at a remote site on the Indus River in Pakistan. Several large steel bolts appear to have developed cracks, and you have decided that they should be replaced to avert a potentially serious failure of…

you are being asked, as an engineering consultant, whether the available cap screws with head markings of five radial lines can be safely substituted for the broken originals. How do you respond?
1.A high-speed “closing machine” is used in a tomato canning factory to install lids and seal the cans. It is in the middle of the “pack” season and a special bracket has separated from the main frame of the closing machine because the -24 UNF-2A hex-head cap screws used to hold the bracket in place…

Calculate the torque required to accomplish this.
1.A standard coarse-thread metric cap screw made of steel has a major diameter of 10.0 mm. If a torque wrench is used to tighten the cap screw to a torque of 35 N-m, estimate the axial preload force induced in the cap screw. It may be assumed that the coefficient of friction is about 0.15…

Estimate the required length of thread engagement that will ensure tensile failure of the cap screw before the threads are stripped in the aluminum block.
1.A -20 UNF-2A SAE Grade 2 steel cap screw is being considered for use in attaching a cylinder head to an engine block made of 356.0 cast aluminum . It is being proposed to engage the cap screw into an internally threaded hole tapped directly into the aluminum block. Estimate the required length of thread…

determine a procedure for finding a “best estimate” for the design stress to be used in designing the helical-coil springs for a new off-the-road vehicle.
1. You are asked, as a consultant, to determine a procedure for finding a “best estimate” for the design stress to be used in designing the helical-coil springs for a new off-the-road vehicle. The only known information is: ( 1. ) The spring material is a ductile high-strength ferrous alloy with known ultimate strength, ,…

Determine the maximum applied axial load that could be supported by the spring without initiating yielding in the wire.
1. A proposed helical-coil compression spring is to be wound from standard unpeened music wire of 0.038-inch diameter, into a spring with outer coil diameter of inch and12 total turns from end-of-wire to end-of-wire. The ends are to be closed. Do the following: a. Estimate torsional yield strength of the music wire. b. Determine the…

Find a standard wire diameter and corresponding mean coil radius that will meet the desired specifications.
1.A helical-coil compression spring is to be designed for a special application in which the spring is to be initially assembled in the mechanism with a preload of 10 N, and exert a force of 50 N when it is compressed an additional 140 mm. Tentatively, it has been decided to use music wire, to…

Calculate the axial force required to deflect the nested spring assembly a distance of 25 mm.
1. Two steel, helical-coil compression springs are to be nested around a common axial centerline. The outer spring is to have an inside diameter of 38 mm, a standard wire diameter of 2.8 mm, and 10 active coils. The inner spring is to have an outside diameter of 32 mm, a standard wire diameter of…
